peacekeeping

Peacekeeping refers to the efforts—often led by the United Nations—to maintain peace and security in conflict-affected areas. This involves deploying international forces to monitor and support ceasefires, protect civilians, and help manage the transition to stable governance. Peacekeepers, typically military personnel and police, work alongside humanitarian organizations to assist in rebuilding societies post-conflict. Their goal is to prevent the resurgence of violence, promote reconciliation, and facilitate a peaceful resolution to disputes, thereby contributing to global stability and security.
