Система на ООН за поддържане на международния мир, мироопазващи операции и употреба на сила
The UN Peace-Keeping System, International Operations and Use of Force

Summary/Abstract: During its evolution the United Nations (UN) has developed special procedures for the maintenance of peace by means of use of military elements and units. These have gained popularity as peace-keeping operations and differ considerably from original conceptions concerning the maintenance of international peace and security. The Charter of the United Nations (UN) provided for a system of collective security as a reaction by the international community to breaches of international peace. That concept was realistic up to a point when the Cold war broke up and started to develop. As a substitute to the non-efficient UN mechanisms during the Cold war era the regional systems for collective security as well as the UN peace-keeping forces have come into existence. This article surveys the basic elements of the concept of UN peace-keeping as well as the reasons for its broad practical use and acceptance.
