In this paper the author performs analysis of United Nations peacekeeping legal regulation. The author's goal ‒ to analyze legal basis of different kinds of peacekeeping operations, fundamental peacekeeping principles and disclose typical problems in practice. The work is divided in two parts. First part begins with section devoted to historical development of peacekeeping missions ‒ from the Cold War to the present, and classification of peacekeeping missions. In the second section the author analyses legal basis of different types of peacekeeping operations. The third section comprises separation of powers of the main United Nations organs, while conducting security policy. Furthermore, the author analyses The Charter of The United Nations and the practice of The International Court of Justice. The fourth section consists of content analysis of three substantial peacekeeping principles. In the second part the practical peacekeeping challenges are analysed. The author reviews Official United Nations documents and raises problems related to application of legal basis and fundamental principles of traditional peacekeeping in Congo and wider peacekeeping operations in Bosnia and Afghanistan. The second part is concluded by legal analysis of Lithuanian participation in peacekeeping operations: a) national legislation related to the participation in peacekeeping operations b) Lithuania's leadership in one of Afghanistan province – Ghor ‒ reconstruction. At the end, the author represents final conclusions of the analysis of legal basis and practical problems. The most frequent problem is the breach of fundamental peacekeeping principles when forces used exceed the necessary amount and are inadequate to situation on the ground.

After the end of the Cold War and the formation of a multipolar world Scandinavian countries have chosen different ways, but one goal – to ensure the highest level of defense andsecurity in the region Northern Europe. Mastery of these countries in military peacekeeping missions during the Cold War provided the Scandinavian countries is not right to be the best in this area and the sharing of experiences with the countries that need modernizing the military. HighTrust international organizations to peacekeeping forces Scandinavians contributes to the further improvement and development of new models of high-quality military cooperation of different states to more successful peacekeeping missions in places of crises and conflcts.Nordic cooperation in security and defense found its embodiment in such models as cooperation NORDSAMFN (even during the Cold War), NORDCAPS and NORDEFKO. Transformation towards expansion and modernization of each of these associations took place based on a constant search for the most effective mechanisms to ensure a high level of coordination of military Scandinavia.An example of successful cooperation in the defense fild in northern Europe is NORDEFKO.The overall goal NORDEFCO on the military level – cooperation across the spectrum of defense structures to ensure greater cost effiiency and thus achieve the best quality. It means to have the ability to combine the individual possibilities to prevent any crisis. The aim is also combined with effective contribution to international efforts to ensure peace and security.

The directions of scientific research in the field of operational use of the forces of the security and defense sector of the state are considered. These areas are associated with the military-political situation, which is developing both in Ukraine and around it. The article analyzes the armed confrontation in the East of Ukraine with the assumption of its possible escalation. Regarding the positional combat operations continuing in the East of Ukraine, the urgency of establishing a connection between the cause of the emergence of this form of action (with its inherent features) and their stable duration and the continuing threat of their escalation is indicated. The article expresses fears of the emergence and development of crisis events in potentially crisis regions of Ukraine with their further escalation. An assumption is made about the development of these events according to the scheme: "provoking an internal political conflict of a regional scale" ‒ "an attempt to destroy the foundations of public order" ‒ "an extreme aggravation of an internal political conflict against the background of mass riots" ‒ "provoking the emergence and escalation of an internal armed conflict" ‒ "provoking civil war" ‒ "the emergence of an armed conflict of an international nature (possibly a local or regional war with the participation of Ukraine as a result of the intervention of external forces " ‒ "the introduction of peacekeeping forces into Ukraine". The urgency of the study of the driving forces of these events, their organizational forms, as well as the forms and ways of realizing their intentions at each stage is substantiated. The relevance of the development of a complex of operations of the security and defense sector of the state, as well as the appropriate methods of their implementation with an adequate response at each stage of the development of crisis events, is indicated. The article provides and analyzes examples of domestic developments in the field of military art with reference to the corresponding accumulated international experience. ; Окреслено актуальні напрями наукових досліджень у сфері оперативного застосування сил сектору безпеки і оборони держави, які пов'язуються із суспільно-політичною обстановкою, що складається в Україні, та геополітичною ситуацією навколо неї. Здійснено аналіз збройного протиборства на сході України з припущенням його можливої ескалації. Наведено і проаналізовано приклади вітчизняних напрацювань у сфері воєнного мистецтва, що пов'язані з концепціями застосування військ (сил).

The main objective of this study is to analyze how public diplomacy implemented in peacekeeping operations by the Lithuanian army representatives influences country's image. The subject gives a rise to a problem which needs a deeper analysis: it is vital to find out if attention drawn to public diplomacy by the state officials is sufficient, to consider the benefit it brings to the image formation process. In pursuance of purposeful analysis it is necessary to define the limits of the research – this study does not analyze all peacekeeping operations but focuses only on the NATO-led international operations in which Lithuanian soldiers are employed, i.e. the operations of Afghanistan, Iraq and Kosovo. The Kosovo operation is already finished for us as the last squad was sent on 2009, but the participation in this mission still has an influence to Lithuania's image. This study presents the conception of public diplomacy, characterizes its main dimensions and instruments, analyzes the influence of public diplomacy on shaping an external and internal country image and reveals how the participation of Lithuanian army representatives in international peacekeeping operations contributes to the image of the state. The survey data comparisons and analysis of the results showed a public confidence in Lithuanian Armed Forces and support to country's membership in NATO. Although citizens witness the negative aspects of partaking in peacekeeping operations, i.e. an increase in spending of the state budget, threats to the employed relatives, psychological inconvenience emerging because of the separation of families for a half year etc., but all in all Lithuania's participation in NATO operations are supported and welcomed by the citizens. The results confirmed the hypothesis that Lithuanian peacekeepers are shaping a positive attitude to the country in the society, promote pride in their own state and contribute to national image building. The boom of public diplomacy was stimulated by innovations in communication technologies, political revolutions that induced many autocratic countries become democratic, and revolution in the arena of international relations, which showed that national image and reputation has become as important as military power or economic opportunities. An analysis of the benefits of public diplomacy in national image formation should encourage discussions about the use of this communication tool for the best effect in Lithuania's image building.
