Peace Support Operations

Peace Support Operations (PSOs) are efforts by international organizations, like the United Nations, to maintain or restore peace in conflict regions. They involve deploying military personnel, police, and civilian experts to help oversee ceasefires, protect civilians, assist in humanitarian aid, and support the rebuilding of governments and institutions. The goal is to create a stable environment where political processes can succeed, fostering long-term peace and security. These operations are carefully planned, often multi-national, and focus on both security and diplomacy to prevent further violence and support sustainable peace.
