Summary/Abstract: The UN Peace Missions represent the organization’s unique instrument, the activities of which are aimed at resolving conflicts in areas throughout the world. The concept of conflict resolution has gradually become a process of achieving peace in the broadest possible sense. The activities of peacekeepers, apart from interventions in warring areas, have also been aimed at intervening in everyday life of citizens of crisis areas by providing assistance in meeting basic needs, providing support to the exercise of their civic rights and freedoms etc. The turning point in the work of these missions and the moment when the basic notion of the mission changed was the period after the end of the Cold War.
