Summary/Abstract: Peacekeeping operations, an institution created with the creation of the UN, does not have, nor could it have, its own normative framework that would establish the legal regime of the territories where these operations are carried out. However, the peacekeeping forces sanctioned by the resolutions of the UN Security Council cannot replace the local authorities that operate based on the principle of sovereignty, however, they are obliged to exercise certain of their functions, especially in the context of the obligations to ensure public order and the security of the civilian population. Under these conditions, the solution of the applicability by analogy of the provisions governing the regime of military occupation appears as a real one, with the obvious consideration of the specifics of peacekeeping operations,thus also establishing certain limits of some applications by analogy of the right of occupation.
