In the last twenty years an increase in the number of armed conflicts can be observed. Every of these conflicts has a dangerous potential to trigger a conflict. It can be noticed that there are qualitative changes in the nature of conflicts, in that they are transforming from interstate to domestic ones. Therefore, the activity of civilian police within international peacekeeping operations is brought to the foreground. Teleology of conflict – interweaving of interests of many subjects, exerts a great multidimensional impact on internal conflicts. Unfortunately, at the same time, authors of works on the effectiveness of the activities of civilian police do not pay much attention to the issue of teleology of conflicts. It is still perceived in a simplified way, with two subjects- antagonists, as it is in the case of an interstate conflict.In the article, the classification of carriers of domestic armed conflicts teleology was offered. The division has been made into positive (tending to end the conflict)and negative components (fueling the flames of a conflict), as well as external and internal ones.There have been investigated both hidden and open interests of the subjects: ethnical and religious strata of local communities, organized crime, local police, political parties, local mass media. Ways of development and utilizing positive interests have been proposed. Moreover, there have been offered the ways to reveal and end negative interests by means of an international peacekeeping operation. The stages of such an operation are also presented.

The author discusses a problem of the Lausanne police which underwent thorough proethical changes after revealing that there are some deficits in management among their members. They showed insufficient distinction between a mistake and an offence, lack of objectivity in the matter of promotions and sanctions and had insufficient example from the leaders. In order for the public administration institutions to adapt to new conditions it is necessary to have at least strong political support, defence and support of the chief commanders and managers who are sensitive to human matters and interested in ethics. Physical danger and strong psychological pressure cause that police environment feel solidarity. It helps to create internal corporation culture, especially in difficult moments. The institution such as police should not impose too high demands both in the quality aspect and quantity and time aspect. They may become the reason for fatigue, disappointment or frustration of their employees. The institution itself should control the contradictions which may appear between the institution’s demands and expectations of the employees. It is important to keep the delicate balance between the priorities of the managers and the priorities of the subordinates. Senior executive staff of public institutions play a decisive role when introducing changes and implementing the development of the institution. It is a good idea to convince employees to participate actively in those changes. Therefore the managers are obliged to work with their teams in closer cooperation.
