The task of a peacekeeper is particularly demanding because peacekeeping operations are, by definition, established in areas of conflict where acts of violence and breaches of international and locally arranged agreements are daily occurrences. Those who serve in peacekeeping forces are equipped with light defensive weapons but are not authorised to use force except in self defence. This right is exercised judiciously because of the obvious danger that if a UN force uses weapons, its impartiality, however unfairly, is called into question. This particular mission is one under Chapter VII of the UN Charter and is a peace enforcing mission. This requirement sometimes demands exceptional restraint on the part of soldiers serving in peacekeeping forces.
