		The establishment of OAU had not brought significant change in the 
		continent, particularly, in maintaining peace and security. AU, 
		replacing it, could show great effort in establishing mechanisms so as 
		to maintain peace and security. The establishment of APSA, in this 
		regard, could be mentioned as important change at least in showing the 
		special attention given for the peace of the continent. Accordingly, 
		APSA could play some role; however, it has not been as to the 
		expectation. Thus, though AU show a special move in maintaining peace 
		and security as compared to OAU, it is expected to do more to go beyond 
		a mere institutional arrangement.
