Some aspects of UN peacekeeping at the present stage

Abstract

Today peacekeeping is one of the main tasks of the United Nations in the world community. Peacekeepers can participate in negotiations between belligerent parties of the conflict and draw attention of the world community to less local problems opening doors for collective actions and for an achievement of peace and safety. The UN formulated four directions: preventive diplomacy of the UN; peacemaking; peacekeeping operations; post-conflict peace-building. These components include humanitarian aspect. Peacekeeping activity of the UN, from preventive diplomacy to reasonable use of force, despite of all the shortcomings, is an effective way in settlement and solution of the conflicts. The United Nations continues to keep the operating role in the Charter. Peacekeeping operations of the UN are an irreplaceable method of peace preservation, relying on semi centennial experience in this area.
