Abstract

The issue of resolving internal armed conflicts is one of the important topics discussed in many countries around the world. The practice of the first two decades of the XXI century has shown that the settlement of internal armed conflict is possible only by creating a mechanism to influence the behavior of various groups and members of illegal armed groups. There are two main areas of research to resolve internal armed conflict. The first develops within the framework of legal disciplines and aims to determine the legal norms of conflict resolution. The second direction is focused on finding mutually acceptable agreement between the parties to the conflict by political means. The above allows the political and legal mechanism for resolving internal armed conflict to understand the activities of law enforcement agencies and authorities at various levels, which aims to eliminate undesirable developments and create conditions for conflict resolution. The political and legal mechanism for resolving internal armed conflict is proposed to include: subjects (participants, parties) of the conflict and the subject of its settlement; political and legal basis for the activities of entities to resolve internal armed conflict; ways, means, and forces of conflict resolution. The main ways to implement the mechanism for resolving internal armed conflict should be identified: recovery and assistance to local authorities; work with the local population; disarmament of members of illegal armed groups formations and organization of their entry into peaceful life; reconstruction of destroyed facilities during hostilities. The mechanism for resolving internal armed conflict may include the following ways to resolve it: - elimination of contradictions; - conflict containment (crisis prevention); - rehabilitation and assistance to local authorities; - work with the local population; - elimination of the conflict (which, in turn, includes its termination and in particular elimination); - disarmament of members of illegal armed groups and organization of their entry into peaceful life; - reconstruction of destroyed facilities during hostilities. It is possible to resolve the internal armed conflict only if an effective mechanism is created through which the behavior of various groups of the population and members of illegal armed groups could be influenced. The concept of mechanism is widely used in various humanitarian fields, including the military, which means the use of certain tools using selected methods to achieve goals. For the effective functioning of the political and legal mechanism for resolving internal armed conflict, it is proposed to include the following main components: subjects (participants, parties) of the conflict and the subject of its settlement; the political basis of the activities of the entities for the settlement of internal armed conflict; the legal basis for the activities of entities to resolve internal armed conflict; ways, means, and forces of conflict resolution. The main ways to implement the mechanism for resolving internal armed conflict should be identified: recovery and assistance to local authorities; work with the local population; disarmament of NPF participants and organization of their entry into peaceful life; reconstruction of destroyed facilities during hostilities. The implementation of political, social and economic measures in combination with measures to eliminate illegal armed groups is an important condition for resolving internal armed conflicts.
