Over the past decades, significant progress has been made in international law towards the formation of the instruments of the UN peacekeeping mission and the legal basis for addressing self-determination conflicts. However, all the problems associated with these processes have not been solved. The issue is particularly significant for Eurasia, where the majority of conflicts related to self-determination take place. The resolution of these disputes without the use of modern norms and tools of international law can lead to ethnic cleansing and even genocide. To prevent these tragic consequences, which become more likely during the period when the rivalry for the establishment of a new global order intensifies, it is suggested that these conflicts be resolved through UN peacekeeping operations. The article examines the impact of the geopolitical transformations, on the implementation of the UN peacekeeping missions, for the purpose of settling self-determination disputes. It is proposed to consider it on the basis of the three-stage model of the struggle for a new world order. For each of these stages, the article presents the possibilities of the implementation of the UN peacekeeping mission, its obstacles and the ways to overcome them, drawing on the Eurasian cases of East Timor, Kosovo, and Nagorno-Karabakh. The study reveals that the dynamics of geopolitical transformations creates serious obstacles for international peacekeeping, in particular at their final stage due to the increasing severity of conflicts of interest among the permanent members of the UN Security Council (UNSC
