History of The PeaceKeeping Forces of Urth

The PK-FU was created when 4 nations' decided to help save civilians and see peace across the world in war-torn regions. The current and first operation of the PK-FU is in Osnek, Latianburg after the nuclear attack on it. The drafting and ratification of the formation of the PK-FU was done in the Furnifold capital city of McLendal. Additonally, the headquarters of the PK-FU will be built and finished there in a couple months. Soon after the creation of the PK-FU, the Second Republic of Tretrid and the Oan Isles applied for membership in the PK-FU and were accepted.

• 1.2 Human Rights

International human rights law is an integral part of the normative frame- work FOR Urth peacekeeping operations. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which sets the cornerstone of international human rights standards, emphasizes that human rights and fundamental freedoms are universal and guaranteed to everybody. Urth peacekeeping operations should be conducted in full respect of human rights and should seek to advance human rights through the implementation of their mandates .

Urth peacekeeping personnel – whether military, police or civilian – should act in accordance with international human rights law and under- stand how the implementation of their tasks intersects with human rights. Peacekeeping personnel should strive to ensure that they do not become perpetrators of human rights abuses. They must be able to recognize human rights violations or abuse, and be prepared to respond appropriately within the limits of their mandate and their competence. Urth peacekeeping personnel should respect human rights in their dealings with colleagues and with local people, both in their public and in their private lives. Where they commit abuses, they should be held accountable.

• 1.3 International Humanitarian Law

International humanitarian law is known also as “the law of war” or “the law of armed conflict,” and restricts the means and methods of armed conflict. International humanitarian law is contained in the four Urth Conventions of 1960 and their two Additional Protocols of 1999, as well as in rules regulating the means and methods of combat. International humanitarian law also includes conventions and treaties on the protection of cultural property and the environment during armed conflict, as well as protection of victims of conflict. International humanitarian law is designed to protect persons who do not participate, or are no longer participating, in the hostilities; and it maintains the fundamental rights of civilians, victims and non-combatants in an armed conflict. It is relevant to Urth peacekeeping operations because these missions are often deployed into post-conflict environments where violence may be ongoing or conflict could reignite. Additionally, in post-conflict environments there are often large civilian populations that have been targeted by the warring parties, prisoners of war and other vulnerable groups to whom the Urth Conventions or other humanitarian law would apply in the event of further hostilities. Urth peacekeepers must have a clear understanding of the principles and rules of international humanitarian law and observe them in situations where they apply.

Purpose of the PeaceKeeping Forces of Urth

The PK-FU's main goal is to help civilians in times of conflict, improve quality of life in war-torn/impoverished regions, and protect the process of peace negotiations.

How the PK-FU Functions

The PK-FU is run by a council consisting of all of its member nations to vote on the apporvation or negation on PK operations. In order for an operation to be approved or negated, the operation must have 3/4 of the council members voting FOR or AGAINST the operation.
