U.N. Peacekeeping Operations

U.N. Peacekeeping Operations are missions led by the United Nations to help maintain peace and stability in areas affected by conflict. They involve deploying international personnel—military, police, and civilians—to monitor ceasefires, assist in disarmament, support the political process, and protect civilians. These operations are neutral and voluntary, working with local parties to promote peaceful resolution and create conditions for sustainable development. The goal is to prevent violence, support post-conflict recovery, and help countries transition toward lasting peace through coordination, diplomacy, and protection efforts.
