In 2011, after Côte d’Ivoire’s President Laurent Gbagbo refused to cede power following his electoral defeat the previous year, the UN, backed by French forces, arrested him and transferred him to the International Criminal Court, cutting short a potentially devastating civil war. Nonetheless, their intervention came too late for the hundreds of civilians who were killed in the city of Duékoué.
但联合国的大部分成就尤其缺陷。2011年，在科特迪瓦总统巴博（Laurent Gbagbo）拒绝在上一年的大选失败后交出权力时，联合国在法国军队的支持下逮捕了他，并把他送上了国际刑事法庭，快刀斩乱麻地解决了可能的灾难性的内战。但是，联合国的干预来得太晚，杜埃奎（Duékoué）已有数百平民遇难。
