Presidential Decision Directive 25 (PDD-25), is an executive order drafted by President of the United States Bill Clinton on May 3, 1994 following a year-long executive agency policy review and bilateral consultations between dozens of members of Congress and the executive branch. While the order was classified by the government, it was summarized in a memo distributed to the public on May 5, 1994. The unclassified version of the text is available online.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=PRESIDENTIAL DECISION DIRECTIVE/NSC-25 )〕 == United States involvement in United Nations Peacekeeping Operations == PDD-25 was created to prevent the United States from using peacekeeping operations as the centerpiece of its foreign policy. However, the United States does see the ability of involvement in these operations as a way to advance American and U.N. interests globally. () PDD-25 created a "vital national interests test" that limited United States involvement in United Nations Peacekeeping Operations, basically leaving involvement in U.N. operations to be handled in a case by case basis. This test limited United States involvement to those operations which had United States military officers in control of United States troops, a mission that was in the best interests of the United States government, and required popular domestic support for the operation.〔Quynh-Nhu Vuong, J.D. Candidate, School of Law, University of California, Berkeley, 2003, Berkeley Journal of International Law, 21 Berkeley J. Int'l L. 804, p. 812-14〕 The order also seeks to reduce United States financial commitment to these operations from 31.7% in 1994 to around 25% in 1996. PDD-25 was drafted with the knowledge that in the post-Cold War era, new threats to the United States would eventually emerge, and that the United States required a military that would be able to win wars unilaterally. () It represented a continuing negative stance towards a standing United Nations army and prevented the earmarking of specific amounts of United States troops at the disposal of the United Nations international community. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Presidential Decision Directive 25」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
