Peace enforcement operations (PEO) are the application of military force or the threat of its use, normally pursuant to international authorization, to compel compliance with resolutions or sanctions designed to maintain or restore peace and order.
In PEO, the enemy is the dispute, not the belligerent parties or parties to a dispute. Although PEO may require combat, they are not wars and may have more restrictive ROE than wars. Conflict, violence, disorder, a high level of mistrust, and possibly even chaos, rather than peace, describe the environment surrounding PEO. PEO may be conducted in interstate conflicts, but increasingly have involved intrastate conflicts.
In PEO, consent of the parties to the dispute is not a requirement, although some parties may extend it. Although there may be some restrictions on weapons and targeting, peace enforcers generally have full combat capabilities, depending on the mandate, ROE, and tactical situation.
Fundamentals of successful PEO include impartiality, restraint in the use of force, a goal of settlement rather than victory, the use of methods of coercion, and the presence of civilians.
Peace enforcement (PE) missions may include enforcement of sanctions and exclusion zones, protection of humanitarian assistance (HA), operations to restore order, and forcible separation of belligerent parties or parties to a dispute.
