The UN is often perceived as a more neutral and impartial participant in the peacemaking process comparing to large regional powers, often pursuing their own interests. However, regional organizations have a number of significant advantages comparing to the UN. Regional organizations are closer to the conflict geographically, as well as from the cultural and political point of view, therefore, they better realize local conditions, motives and logic of opposing forces, they have more flexible and operative reaction to changing situations in conflict zones. African Union «Architecture of peace and safety» consists of the following elements: The Peace and Security Council, The Continental conflict early warning system, The African Union Peace Fund and The African Standby Force [5]. Currently, this organization concentrates its main forces in Somalia and the Sudan in order to resolve ethnic conflicts. The Security Council, in resolution 2372 (2017), noticed the crucial role of the African Union in ensuring lasting peace and stability in Somalia, recognized the great personnel dedication of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) [6]. 1. The data of April 2, 2018 give evidence of the successful AMISOM troops counterattack. Al-Shabaab terrorists had serious losses: vehicles, explosive devices were destroyed and the range of weapons was restored [2]. 2. On 8 December 2017, AMISOM put an end to instability in Somalia by reaching the power-sharing agreement between the unrecognized state of Galmudug and Alu Sunnah Val Jamaa [3]. 3. On 8 February 2018, African Union’s peacekeepers provided humanitarian assistance in the framework of the peacekeeping mission in the Sudan (UNAMID). About 214 people underwent basic medical examinations, as well as screening of malaria and free treatment [8]. However, along with the successes, there are drawbacks in the African Union’s peacekeeping activities. For example, the High Commission for Human Rights provided data on the human rights violations by peacekeeping personnel of the African Union. 1. The report accuses AMISOM of 178 civilians murders from January 2016 to October 14, 2017 [4]. 2. On 26 November 2017, UNAMID received the information that one of its civilian employees had been arrested and charged with sexual offenses involving a minor child [7]. The following factors are an obstacle to the effectiveness of African Union peacekeeping:  Lack of a clear mechanism for financing African Union’s peacekeeping activities and the high dependence of the AU peacekeeping on external financing.  Disagreements between the United Nations and the AU on the issue of the use of force. The African Union in its peacekeeping activities abides an «offensive» approach and goes far beyond the generally accepted in the United Nations restrictive understanding of the extent of the permissible use of force.  Contradictions between the UN and the African Union in the process of Peace Enforcement Operations deployment.
