The purpose of this qualitative study has been to investigate what experiences Swedish police officers have from international service in the UN peacekeeping force in South Sudan, UNMISS. The focus has been on how the police perceived that their duties and efforts were in line with the mandate that the UN has to work according to in the mission area. The empirical data for the study has been collected through semi-structured interviews in which a total of five police officers participated, all of whom have at leastone year of experience working for UNPOL in South Sudan. The respondents have held various positions in South Sudan and have been stationed in different geographical locations. The results from the interviews have been presented through a thematic presentation based on different themes on which the interviews were structured. This, in turn, has also been contrasted with the study's theoretical framework, which included democratic policing and Robert Dahl's concept of democracy. The results of the study show that the work is generally satisfactory in relation to the mandate. On the other hand, there is a perceived lack among the Swedish police when it comes to personnel from other countries. There is often a lack of knowledge and work ethic for the work to be effective. Likewise, the UN as an organization is considered inefficient as there is a lack of control mechanisms to ensure that the work goes in the direction it is intended.
