Peacekeeping in International Law and Intervention in Internal Affairs

This research aims to develop a comprehensive, contemporary and principled framework of public international law for peacekeeping. The aim is to explain the ongoing evolution of peacekeeping efforts as geopolitical challenges and norms between states and other actors evolve. It examines the legal rules and principles of international public powers law that apply, limit or prohibit such intervention, as well as intervention in domestic situations of a country. Its purpose is to provide a basis for understanding the diverse factors at play in such interventions—from genocide to widespread violence; from ethno-religious cleansing to human rights violations; and from colonial domination to threats to international peace and security. It also aims to illustrate the key role of the United Nations in maintaining international peace and security, particularly in conflicts and in efforts to prevent escalation into all-out war, focusing on the legal basis and policies developed by the United Nations. Belongs to the Security Council and the United Nations General Assembly.
