| description | <p>The article deals with the issues of war and peace, international security, and the features of modern conflicts. It is noted that, although a powerful legal and organizational infrastructure has been constructed on the basis of the UN, which is engaged in conflict resolution, the problem of preventing war remains relevant. Russia, using its military and political resources, is actively acting as a peacemaker at the global level, but primarily in the post-Soviet space. According to the author, along with rapid response to current challenges and threats, it is necessary to consider the topic of peacekeeping at a fundamental philosophical level. The philosophy of peacemaking as a methodology implies an awareness of the deep unity of the world, with the inevitable presence of social contradictions and changes caused by them in political and socio-economic systems. Peace, understood as the absence of contradictions and conflicts caused by them, is impossible in principle. It is possible to minimize the negative consequences of conflicts, which is the meaning of peacemaking. The highest axiology of peacemaking, in the author's opinion, is ensuring security and comprehensive human development, protecting political and social rights, cultural and spiritual values. It is concluded that peacekeeping includes not only military operations to neutralize the sources of military threats, but also multifunctional and multidimensional systemic actions aimed at stabilizing the situation in the conflict region through political decisions and assistance in establishing peaceful life. Along with military and police contingents, qualified specialists in the field of political analysis and negotiation should participate in peacekeeping operations to assist in the transition to peace, security and development.</p> |
