U.N. peacekeeping

U.N. peacekeeping involves international personnel helping maintain peace and security in areas of conflict. These missions deploy trained personnel, such as soldiers and civilians, to monitor ceasefires, assist in implementing peace agreements, and support the rebuilding of governance and local institutions. The goal is to create a stable environment where political processes can advance, violence decreases, and civilians are protected. Peacekeeping does not involve fighting combatants but instead focuses on observation, support, and peace-building efforts, often working alongside local authorities and communities to foster long-term stability.
