Dedication<br />
This issue of The <strong>Defence</strong> <strong>Forces</strong> <strong>Review</strong> is dedicated to the memory of<br />
Lt Col Joe Buckley MA, 1st Field Artillery Regiment, who passed away<br />
last August after a long illness.<br />
Joe was a thoroughly professional soldier, an experienced peacekeeper,<br />
a committed humanitarian, a great friend, and an excellent scholar<br />
who passionately believed in the principles of the United Nations about<br />
which he wrote and lectured on several occasions.<br />
He also believed in the utility and relevance of this journal and<br />
contributed major articles to the first three issues.<br />
Therefore as we publish this special issue of “The <strong>Review</strong>” which is<br />
focused on Ireland’s 50 years of unbroken commitment to international<br />
peacekeeping it is appropriate that we remember someone who made a<br />
very significant and valuable contribution to that record both at home<br />
and overseas and touched the lives of so many people along the way.<br />
