Abstract: The research is devoted to the issues of the transformation of understanding of the UN peacekeeping activities
which are characterized by the appearance of “humanitarian interventions” as a new form of peacekeeping operations. As many other processes and phenomena, caused by globalization, they have both positive moments and a negative feature of
“privatization” of such actions by the USA and NATO, which are trying to establish a detached legal base for such operations
execution, which not only contradicts the universally recognized legislation, but also sometimes ignores it. The methodology
of the research is based on the system, structural-functional, comparative-historical, comparative-political, geopolitical and
cultural-civilizational approaches, and the methods of analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, modeling, and observation.
The global transformation of international relations in the late twentieth – the early twenty-first century had led to
the change of the conceptual approaches towards the problems of international security. The end of the “cold war” stirred
the contradictions, which had been deterred by two super powers. The world community overcame the threat of a global
conflict between two opposing political and military blocks: the NATO and the countries of the Warsaw Pact, and faced the
danger of extension of unpredictable in their consequences and hardly controlled armed interethnic and interconfessional
conflicts in different parts of the planet.
