Most commonly, multinational military intervention to impose peace or restore cease-fires. "The use or threat of armed force as provided for in Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter aimed at restoring peace by military means such as in Korea (1950- 1953) or Iraq (1991). It can take place without the agreement and support of one or all the warring parties. It can refer to both an interstate or an intra-state conflict, [serve] the mitigation of a humanitarian emergency or in situations where the organs of state have ceased to function. Peace enforcement actions include: (i) carrying out international sanctions against the opposing sides, or against the side that represents the driving force in the armed conflict; (ii) isolating the conflict and preventing arms deliveries to the area, as well as preventing its penetration by armed formations; (iii) delivering air or missile strikes on positions of the side that refuses to halt its military actions; (iv) rapid deployment of peace forces to the combat zones in numbers sufficient to carry out the assigned missions, including the localising of the conflict and the disarming or eradicating of any armed formations that refuse to cease fighting.
