Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Civil wars, when they end, seldom end well. Complete victory, one side's destruction or capitulation, is common. Negotiated settlements, although possible, are less common, and absent outside intervention, these settlements usually fail. Moreover, outside intervention only arrives when peace is likely, because the United Nations, today's primary intervener, is (largely) incapable of forcing peaceful outcomes. Treaties, as the conventional wisdom goes, are important signals for peace, but that wisdom comes from the study of interstate wars where the costs and risks of implementing peace settlements are fewer. In civil wars treaties are relatively costly to negotiate and their implementation more risky--at least for Dovish locals. Hawkish locals, alternatively, can and do use treaties, just as they use cease-fires, as tactical ploys. Given that, how can the UN use treaties as peace signals? A possible answer, which I illustrate with a simple intervention model, is that the UN is able to use treaties as peace signals because it _likes_ treaties.
