Abstract:
International organizations, as subjects and guarantors of international security, aim to ensure peace, security, human rights and freedoms, and the principles of equality and justice. However, due to changes in the system of international relations and the growing number of threats, international bodies face a number of challenges in promoting and strengthening international security, including conflict resolution, prevention and mitigation, control of arms and activities of terrorist groups, and peaceful settlement of disputes and controversies. The purpose of the article is to outline the main challenges and prospects of cooperation between international organizations in ensuring international security. The study uses analytical methods to assess the results of cooperation between international structures to guarantee international security in the following dimensions: military-political, economic, social and humanitarian. The results indicate the existence of a number of challenges related to the military-political, economic and socio-humanitarian dimensions of international security. Within the military-political dimension of cooperation, the author focuses on the mortality rate of personnel involved in peacekeeping operations by international organizations. In addition, the ineffectiveness of peacekeeping operations is revealed, with significant amounts of their funding, which is manifested in the growth of peaceful protests in various countries. The study of cooperation between international structures to promote international security confirms the increase in funding for various areas of life at the expense of national programmes. The analysis of the social and humanitarian dimension of international security shows that international organizations are making significant efforts to address the humanitarian crises resulting from conflicts. The challenge, however, is the inability of international entities to fully cover humanitarian issues.
Highlights
- The challenges faced by international organizations in promoting and strengthening international security are evident, particularly in the realm of peacekeeping operations where personnel suffer, populations protest, and financial resources are substantial, ultimately highlighting the gap between declared policies and their effective implementation.
