Аналіз можливих форм і способів проведення миротворчої операції ООН на Сході України

Abstract

Formulation of the problem. A number of international legal issues on the deployment of a peacekeeping operation in the east ofUkraine remain unresolved: who and on what line the peacekeeping contingent should share, the legitimization of the peacekeeping operation, the manning of the peacekeeping contingent.Presenting main material. It is acceptable for the United Nations to deploy peacekeeping forces on the internationally recognized border ofUkraine and theRussian Federation. This will stop the support of the separatists from the Russian territory. The position of the RF consists in the division of the conflicting sides according to the actual line of contact. This means that potential peacekeepers, if sent to the conflict zone, will appear in the depth of Ukrainian territory. Their presence will have a "freezing" function and will not allow the Armed Forces of Ukraine to carry out measures to ensure national security and defense, the return of control over temporarily occupied territories in theDonetsk and Lugansk regions.There are two main types of UN operations:- peacekeeping - requires the documented consent of the parties to the conflict, can be carried out by regional organizations, in cooperation with the UN or independently; the UN mandate is desirable, but it may not be;- peace enforcement - requires the existence of a UN Security Council mandate, but does not require the consent of the parties to the conflict.Another group of problems relates to the allocation of peacekeeping contingents. The region, which came under the control of the occupation administration, was declared "the area of implementation of measures to ensure national security and defense, repelling and deterring the armed aggression of theRussian FederationinDonetskand Lugansk regions." This excludes the UN from among the potential regulators, or requires the use of regional organizations instead of UN contingents, in fact, there are only three combat-capable contingents in this region: the NATO Response Force, the European Union Operational and Tactical Union (CJTF), the CSTO Collective Peacekeeping Forces.Conclusions. Thus, for the solution of specific tasks in the context of the conflict in the East of Ukraine, the usual peacekeeping operation or UN political mission is not suitable, but it is precisely the creation of an individual partnership of the forces of various organizations and, possibly, individual states. Such a partnership can include a political and diplomatic mission of the UN and the OSCE, and will rely on the components of the NATO, EU and CSTO crisis response forces to establish the guaranteed separation and violent development of the heavy weapons of the parties. Such a combination of power components makes sense only in the case of full implementation of Minsk agreements.
