Abstract
The article assesses the role of the United States in the UN peacekeeping activities at the present stage. An attempt is made to show the key types of UN operations and the mechanisms of their influence on the establishment of peace. It is concluded that, although the logistical support of UN operations cannot compete with the military capabilities of the United States or NATO, the experience of conducting peacekeeping operations proves that the UN retains ample opportunities to maintain peace in various regions. The study emphasizes the importance of the United States financial support for UN peacekeeping activities, America has long been the largest sponsor of UN peacekeeping operations. The study showed that when the United States does not fulfill its obligations to provide financial resources in the specified amount, the UN experiences significant financial difficulties in solving peacekeeping tasks and implementing peacekeeping programs. If America truly wants to remain the world leader, then the Biden administration needs to start by paying off its UN debt. On the example of considering Chinese participation in peacekeeping activities, the author substantiates the assumption of a possible future transfer of the leading role in the UN from the United States to China.
