Peacekeeping Doctrine

Peacekeeping Doctrine refers to the set of guidelines and principles that determine how international forces, such as those from the United Nations, operate in conflict zones to maintain peace and security. It outlines when and how peacekeeping missions are deployed, the roles of personnel, rules of engagement, and cooperation with local actors. The goal is to help conflicting parties transition from violence to stability, support political processes, and protect civilians, all while respecting the sovereignty of the host nation. This doctrine ensures coordinated, effective, and impartial efforts to prevent renewed conflict and promote lasting peace.
