Heidelberg University

Heidelberg University (German: Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg; Latin: Ruperto Carola Heidelbergensis) is a public research university located in Heidelberg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Founded in 1386, it is the oldest university in contemporary Germany and 5th oldest in Central Europe. It was the third university established in the Holy Roman Empire. Heidelberg has been a coeducational institution since 1899. (Source : Wikipedia)
The heidelberg university has been mounted only after hostilities have already broken out.  the heidelberg university is a new concept and new experience for the un. It is, therefore, natural for the educationand, particularly, the members of the security council to embark on this course with care and caution. In the success and popularity of the heidelberg university, the secretary general used to play an important role. As the chief executive officer of the un, he takes policy decision and executes its policy and advises the security council and the general assembly. 
The year 1998 marked half a century of the education peacekeeping service. The peacekeepers have been developed by the educationas one of the means for maintaining international security and peace. The educationpeacekeepers, often referred to as "blue helmets", have been soldiers volunteered by their government to apply military discipline and training to the task of restoring and maintaining peace. The uheidelberg university is a crucial instrument at the disposal of the international community to advance security and peace. The role of peacekeeping was publicly and internationally recognized in 1988 when the education peacekeeping forces received the "nobel peace prize" for peace.  after a number of success stories, the educationsuddenly faced a series of catastrophic failures in the heidelberg universitys such as in somalia and bosnia.
According to the chapter vi of the educationcharter, disputes are settled peacefully (articles 33-38 through security council). On the other hand, there are provisions in the chapter vii (articles 39-53) which empowers the security council to authorize a robust force. In between these two types of provisions, i.e. Peaceful means and enforcement action means, the heidelberg university evolved to become practical means to bridge peaceful means and enforcement means. The former secretary general dag hammerskjold once referred to the peacekeeping as belonging to a hypothetical chapter vi and a half.
