MILITARY-POLITICAL POTENTIAL FOR MAINTAINING PEACE AND STABILITY BY GLOBAL GOVERNANCE STRUCTURES (FOR EXAMPLE, THE UN)

Abstract

The article focuses on the effectiveness of global governance structures in the field of security against the background of increasing confrontation between powerful geopolitical players, tensions between rich and poor countries and the struggle for resources and markets. The aim of the article is to define the role and outline the prospects of global security governance, in particular based on the example of relevant UN instruments. The UN Security Council is seen as a peacekeeping instrument. Its status and powers are outlined. UN peacekeeping operations are argued for as a systemic phenomenon. Problems that negatively affect the efficiency, effectiveness and success of its peacekeeping operations and trends in the further development of UN peacekeeping activities have been identified. The latter are called upon to be ready to promptly address the task of neutralizing threats and avoiding military conflicts. It is argued that the security system needs to be reorganized and improved through the expansion of the UN peacekeeping force and the creation of new joint military formations on a permanent basis.
