Thinking about peacemaking we should say that peacemaking is a method, first offered and worked out by UNO, which does not yield to simple determination, because it has a great number of aspects and nuances. Arising up as an international mean to maintain security and peace establishment on behalf of all world association under the UNO aegis, in future, after completion of cold war, peacemaking firmly entered in the arsenal of facilities of different regional and subregional agreements and organizations. I want to add that peacemaking organizations have their concrete tasks and aims in their mission. As a basic task for humanitarian organizations, during the protracted internal conflicts could be considered a necessity to save absolute impartiality in relation to warring sides and a necessity to observe principle of non-admission of discrimination in relation to victims. That is why such danger for humanitarian organizations is presented by their associating with a process on peace establishment: if a process will be turned-blown off, they will relate to it nolens volens. Humanitarian organizations constantly care of that, to have an opportunity to continue the work since international efforts will fail on warning of conflict, and especially after it. Basing on Nguyen’s (2002) words we see that absence of deep analysis of sociopolitical situation and insufficient co-ordination of actions of humanitarian organizations and other external structures can allow warring parties to sow discord between them. Thus, the early warning and preventive measures make sense only in case that they are carried out in the close co-operating with other external structures.
Thus, basing on all above presented information we could come to the conclusion that the 90th were the decade of lost opportunities for preventive activity. It is explained partly that many states still are not ready to go along conversations about prevention of conflicts and about conflict resolution. Prevention of conflicts is related to the risk and requires political efforts and financial expenses. In addition, the role of the state somewhat lost the importance for other acting persons because modern fatal conflicts carry internal character. Thus, such traditional strategic facilities of the states, as diplomacy of compulsion and inhibition, in a great deal lost the efficiency for prevention of conflict.
Thinking about main aspects of conflict resolution and peacemaking it is necessary to say that today for effective prevention of conflicts all-embracing, multidimensional and successive strategy is required. Therefore, the multilateral approach of conflict prevention appears useful and even necessary: comparative advantages of every organization can in combination change a situation in the right way, to win over the plague of violence. This paper showed that the incorporated approach of different participants is possible and will carry out, however joint activity on the basis of general orders while is unreal. For example, informal diplomacy, creation of local structures and tactful work, among quarrelling with each other sides and groups must be carried out without bringing in of attention that can be incompatible with the carrot-and-stick policy, conducted at the high level. At the end of the paper I want to say that peacemaking activity creates possibility flexibly and complex to influence on a conflict with the purpose of peaceful settlement of a conflict and further its final permission. Thus, in parallel, at the level of military-political guidance and among the widest layers of population of opposing parties, work, sent to the change of psychological options in relation to a conflict, must be necessarily conducted. It means that peacemakers and representatives of world association must on possibility “break” and change the stereotypes of relations to each other, finding expression in extreme hostility, intolerance, vindictiveness and irreconcilability, folded at parties of conflict.
