The problem of peace operations has been dominated recently by the Balkan experiences, thus the peace activities in other regions of the world have been moved into the background. Therefore the analysis of these issues in regard to regional engagement comes up with interesting conclusions. Especially due to the fact that Asia and Africa lead in the number of war and conflicts’ casualties and North East Asia is currently considered the most dangerous region of the world where probable armed conflicts may break out. The scale and effects of the UN involvement in crisis management in Asia and Africa has been discussed in the article. The specific character of the armed conflicts appearing there has been stressed and consequently a multi-staged scheme of UN peace operations. One of the examples of UN flexible approach towards crisis management in Africa and Asia is the activation of regional co-operation. Regional organisations have become an active player on the field of counteracting conflicts. The role of African and Asian regional organisations has been shown in the article and a number of new developments and experiences employed in the co-operation with the UN have been stressed (particularly in the area of combat operations techniques). At the same time the practice to combat armed conflicts in recent years has shown that the UN has lost its monopoly in this area. New players emerged on African and Asian arenas: NATO, EU, regional organisations and coalitions organised ad hoc to react to regional armed conflicts that are frequently able to employ forces exceeding the Blue Helmets’ potential. This enforces the co-ordination of activities and co-operation of international organisations with other forces basing on the established, multi-staged peace operations’ scheme functioning in the UN.
