Journal  a155(639), Jan-Mar, 2025: p.163-175  aThe content of this article was presented at the United Service Institution of India United Nations (UN) Forum in 2024. It highlights current characteristics and the fast pace of change in modern war fighting, accelerated by rapid technological developments. Emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and quantum and the military application of commercial ones have led to multi-domain forms of conflict, blurring the differentiation between national and societal lines and leading to a constant state of contestation. UN peacekeeping operations will need to recognise these rapid changes in conflict-ridden areas and adapt to these new paradigms if they are to remain relevant.  aUnited Nations(UN), United Service Institution, Modern war-fighting, Rapid technological developments, Artificial Intelligence, UN peacekeeping operations.
