According to the peacemaker Rustem Suleimenov, at present modern students not only can take a course, but also take part in the mission with the desire to help people.

«The most important thing is impartiality. A military observer is considered civil in form. We can not take weapons in hand. If necessary, the military observer must make his own decisions - take security with him or not - and assess the situation», said major Rustem Suleimenov.

In peacekeeping operations, military observers are UN personnel and observe the principle of neutrality, not supporting any of the conflicting parties. They ensure that the peace agreements reached are respected. This is a small contingent of military personnel, which makes a big contribution to the security of the world.
