China's peacekeeping forces are divided into two categories: army and police, both of which are selected from active servicemen or public security police.
1. As mentioned above, the army peacekeeping forces are generally engineers and medical teams. Therefore, if you want to join, the premise must be that you are already a soldier and engaged in the work needed for peacekeeping.
Warm reminder, the destination of being a soldier is not your choice. The peacekeeping troops sent every year are rotated by major military regions. Therefore, joining the army may not be an engineer, and even if you become an engineer, you may not be able to sit on the wheel of peacekeeping. What's more, the military and political quality of peacekeepers should be first-class, and there are also requirements for image and foreign languages.
2. The police peacekeeping force shall be selected from the active police (excluding the national security, prison, court and procuratorate systems) and the active police of public security and armed police (specifically referring to fire control, public security and frontier defense, excluding internal security, gold, hydropower, transportation and forest forces). First of all, they must receive training at the Armed Police College in Langfang. After graduation, they will return to their original units to "stand by and watch", and the state will call them abroad as appropriate. In this case, if you want to join, the premise is that the police must be public security police or public security armed police, at the same time, the military and political quality should be first-class, and the image and foreign language are also required.
Second, the task of the peacekeeping force:
The role of United Nations peacekeeping forces is to prevent local conflicts from expanding, or from recurring, and to help civilians who have suffered in the war and create conditions for the final political settlement of conflicts. 1956 when the first UN peacekeeping force was established, UN Secretary-General Hammarskj? ld put forward the famous three principles of peacekeeping:
First of all, peacekeeping operations must not interfere with the rights, demands and positions of the countries concerned, and must remain neutral and must not take sides in conflicts;
Second, peacekeeping operations must be carried out with the unanimous consent of all parties concerned;
Third, peacekeeping troops only carry light weapons and can only use force in self-defense.
These three principles are summarized as neutrality, consent and self-defense, which are called the Hammarskj? ld Three Principles. Hama-Hurd three principles are the basic principles of traditional United Nations peacekeeping operations. 1Peacekeeping operations before the end of the 1980s were based on the three principles of Hammarskj? ld. The three principles of Hamagild are of great guiding significance to the United Nations peacekeeping operations in the past 40 years.
Three. Principles of peacekeeping:
Although the Charter of the United Nations does not explicitly stipulate peacekeeping operations, after nearly 60 years of practical exploration, the international community has today formed the following four recognized peacekeeping codes of conduct:
1, jurisprudence. That is, peacekeeping operations must abide by international laws and practices, and must obtain appropriate mandates and clear tasks; Peacekeeping forces are usually established with the authorization of the Security Council or the United Nations General Assembly; United Nations peacekeepers must accept the authorization of the United Nations; Wait a minute. According to these principles, the current US military operations in Iraq are not peacekeeping operations. United Nations official website also pointed out that the so-called "United Nations Army" established by the United States in the Korean War was not under the command of the United Nations and did not belong to the United Nations peacekeeping force.
2. The principle of consent. That is, the stationing and activities of peacekeeping forces should be decided by the Security Council or the General Assembly, with the consent of all parties concerned (at least nine members of 15 agreed, and the five permanent members of China, the United States, Britain, Russia and France did not vote against it), and then the United Nations Secretary-General should be authorized to organize; Moreover, United Nations peacekeeping operations can only be carried out with the consent of the parties to the conflict. The countries that make up the peacekeeping force and the peacekeeping measures to be taken should obtain the consent of the parties to the conflict in advance, so as to prevent the United Nations peacekeeping force from becoming a new party to the conflict. After moving in, once the government asks for withdrawal, it must be withdrawn immediately.
3. The principle of neutrality. Members participating in peacekeeping must come from countries that have no direct interests with the parties to the conflict. Peacekeeping troops are different from ordinary troops. It has no battlefield and no enemies. This is a political and diplomatic force. It must be strictly neutral and must not be involved in any party to the conflict, let alone interfere in its internal affairs. However, some peacekeeping operations violate this principle. For example, after 1999 NATO attacked Kosovo, the Security Council decided to deploy an "international security presence" in Kosovo. However, some NATO troops favored the Albanian "Kosovo Liberation Army" and delayed the date of disarming and collecting its weapons, which led to many violent vendettas against Serbs.
4. The principle of minimum use of force. That is, peacekeepers should not use force to achieve the purpose of peacekeeping, and they can use force to defend themselves only if they have to, such as protecting their comrades-in-arms and the property of the United Nations and fighting back against those who try to use force. Otherwise, we can only withdraw. For example, 1993, the United Nations peacekeeping forces, mainly American troops, tried to forcibly disarm Somali factions and were attacked by armed forces. The us military retaliated by force, only to be countered on a larger scale. * * * 102 peacekeepers died, including 44 American soldiers. Due to the huge loss of peacekeepers and the complete loss of local people's support, the peacekeeping force was forced to leave Somalia on March 3, 1995.
