NATO and UN Peacekeeping and Stabilization Missions

Contemporary international relations are characterized by the presence of many conflicts and contradictions between states or within a country. They pose a threat to international peace and security. This leads to the emergence of such a form of global international cooperation as peacekeeping. One of the main tools for resolving conflicts is the use of armed force in the form of international peacekeeping missions. Peacekeeping/ observation/crisis management operations are one of the tools available to the international community to resolve conflicts and prevent civil wars in unstable regions. Several such peacekeeping missions are carried out around the world every year. They cover almost the entire world and all types of international activities: peacemaking, peacekeeping and peacebuilding.
