The Commission moved slowly otherwise. In 2012 the domestic revolt in Syria, which had started the previous year, escalated and the United Nations (UN) was asked to help work towards a permanent solution. For example, the formal role of the European Commission is the ‘guardian of the [European] treaties’.

The incoming information was thus interpreted accordingly (Barnett and Finnemore During the second phase, the UN member states did not object to a massive humanitarian rescue operation but remained unwilling to send troops to the Great Lakes region; the USA even instructed its officials not to use the term ‘genocide’ because of the legal and moral obligations involved (Terry The consequences of this dominant humanitarian assistance frame were profound: with their money and weapons, representatives of the exiled Hutu government and Rwandan army were able to control Hutu refugees. The RPF intervention added a refugee emergency to the genocide. In connection with the ban on British beef, the Commission tried to frame its preferred position, which was to wait for an expert investigation, in accordance with the values and obligations stated in the EU treaty.
Although a technical issue may conceal important state and other interests, technical IOs are more likely to avoid open political conflict. At the same time, all its cables were copied to the office of the UNSG Boutros Ghali, where they were read by his assistant, Chinmaya Gharekhan. Crisis managers are portrayed as following clearly structured sequential processes based on problem detection, management and aftermath reform (Boin The CM literature has a rich tradition of addressing a multitude of organisational and societal crisis-related issues, such as sense making, decision-making, leadership and coordination. Thus, the WHO is not an implementing autonomy but has been accorded directing and coordinating authority. The empirical analysis shows that the better IOs are at framing the situation in accordance with neutrality and impartiality, the more the response is to be decentralised in their favour. Our expectation was met in the first phase of the Rwanda case, with the UNAMIR becoming dependent on the UN member states’ interests, particularly those of France and the United States. Member states could not agree and, as a result, they delegated this issue to the Commission. At the same time, we surmise that the centralisation notion developed in the CM literature cannot be readily applied to an IO situation because of differences between the domestic and international spheres. First, perceiving the issue as an exclusively British problem, the Commission missed the opportunity to frame the issue early in the process and thus mould the EU response. Indeed, the DKPO’s outlook reflected an organisational culture that was based on the norm of impartiality and thus geared towards avoiding the use of force and seeking consensus-based solutions. That case shows how actors in New York chose not to interpret the UN reports of increased violence on the ground as an impending genocide, which would have prompted an acute response. First pillar issues are jointly governed by the EU institutions in terms of member states (through the Council), the Commission and the European Parliament. Which conditions affected the Commission’s position? This decision was ratified after two voting sessions in the Standing Veterinary Committee (SVC) on March 26, 1996.Additionally, decision-makers had to establish the safety of gelatine.

GENERAL BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY.
This article seeks to bridge the gap between the literature on international organisations (IO) and the field of crisis management (CM) by focusing on two themes: how crisis conditions lead organisations to centralise decision-making and how this subsequently affects an international organisation’s autonomy. The committees serve as a link between the Council and the Commission and provide forums for negotiation.
