With the emergence of the Robust peacekeeping operations in the years after the Cold War, the scope of the use of force in peacekeeping operations expanded. This issue most often occurs in areas that are involved in armed conflicts. Considering the nature of peacekeepers, who must act impartially, this raises questions about the applicability of international humanitarian law: are peacekeeping forces considered military under international humanitarian law, like the parties to the conflict, and may they be legitimate military targets? This article seeks to address these questions using a descriptive - analytical approach and library data. This article argues that in order for peacekeeping forces to become parties to the conflict, they must participate directly or indirectly in an armed conflict, whether international or non-international. Therefore, the mere presence of peacekeeping forces in an area that is involved in armed conflicts nor does the mere use of force make them parties to the conflict.
