This page lists all of the '''peacekeeping missions''' established by the Security Council. Current missions are denoted in '''bold'''.  
The Security Council can establish '''peacekeeping missions''' in response to disputes or threats to peace. Such missions have had mandates ranging from traditional methods of resolving disputes peacefully under Chapter VI, such as promoting reconciliation, assisting with the implementation of a peace agreement, or performing mediation and good offices, and more forceful action as authorized under Chapter VII which can authorize a range of measures including the use of force under Article 42 of the Charter.<ref>Repertoire of the Practice of the Security Council: Peacekeeping Missions</ref> 
 
== Principles of peacekeeping ==
The 2008 [[Capstone doctrine]] articulated three principles of peacekeeping:
# [[Consent]] of the parties
# [[Impartiality]]
# Non-[[use of force]] except in self-defence and defence of the mandate
 
== List of peacekeeping missions ==
 
Current missions are denoted in '''bold'''.

Revision as of 03:54, 15 December 2018

The Security Council can establish peacekeeping missions in response to disputes or threats to peace. Such missions have had mandates ranging from traditional methods of resolving disputes peacefully under Chapter VI, such as promoting reconciliation, assisting with the implementation of a peace agreement, or performing mediation and good offices, and more forceful action as authorized under Chapter VII which can authorize a range of measures including the use of force under Article 42 of the Charter.[1]

Principles of peacekeeping

The 2008 Capstone doctrine articulated three principles of peacekeeping:

  1. Consent of the parties
  2. Impartiality
  3. Non-use of force except in self-defence and defence of the mandate

List of peacekeeping missions

Current missions are denoted in bold.
