Summary/Abstract: Today, when extensive discussions are being held within and around the United Nations on expanding the rights for interventions with internal conflicts and clashes – while discussions on the subject matter were commenced in the scientific literature a long time ago – one should be reminded that resorting to different modes of peaceful disputes resolution depends upon the agreement of disputants, on the other hand, the Security Council may give orders that enforcement measures should be taken. This is important, first of all, because the peace-keeping operations increasingly take on both functions. Just because of that to lessen, to the extent possible, the influence of the political factor (also including here the factor of unequal power of participants in the negotiation process and decision-making), consideration of these problems should be, first and foremost, directed to: establishing the circumstances under which the United Nations can get down to the peace-keeping (or even imposing) operations; creating the rules which will contribute both to the objectivization of establishing factual conditions and finding out what the international interest is; defining how these operations should be carried out; and expanding the number of organs of the United Nations to take part in decision-making.
