International Peacekeeping

International peacekeeping involves the deployment of neutral personnel, often from various countries, to help maintain or restore peace in areas affected by conflict. These missions are typically authorized by organizations like the United Nations and focus on monitoring ceasefires, protecting civilians, and supporting political negotiations. Peacekeepers do not take sides or engage in combat unless necessary for self-defense. Their goal is to create a secure environment that allows for peaceful political processes, rebuilding trust, and enabling communities to recover and develop stability after violent conflicts.
