Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the system of collective security of the United Nations – the normative aspect and practice of the United Nations. Particularly discussed is the concept of the collective security, collective measures of the United Nations Security Council as a concretization of the abstract model of the collective security, international military forces, incorrect start-up of the established collective system of security, that is, the first case of employing military forces in practice of the United Nations. Special attention is given to the importance of the peacekeeping forces of the United Nations, as an attempt of the United Nations to give rise to the survival of the system of collective security. At the conclusion of the first part, military measures of the United Nations relating to the attack on Iraq and Kuwait are assessed as a turn in the practice of the United Nations and contribution to the system of collective security. "Humanitarian interventions" are described as undermining of the modern system of the collective security, while especially treated is the case of aggression of NATO on the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and a risky impact on the system of collective security, that is, repeated demonstration of serious faults in the system of collective security of the United Nations which has to be revised.
