The Role of the United Nations in Cyprus Conflict

Abstract

This article focuses on the role of the U.N. to have a negotiated settlement in Cyprus conflict. The author considers the main reason for why a solution cannot be found in Cyprus problem is the different conceptions of both sides of a Cyprus settlement. She points out recently at the core of the disputes between two sides lies the application of the Greek Cypriot Republic to join the EU. The author proposes that the U.N. should continue to repair the relationship between two sides and continue in its efforts to have a negotiated settlement in Cyprus though it might be long and difficult.
