United Nations Peacekeeping Missions

United Nations Peacekeeping Missions are operations where international personnel, often from different countries, are deployed to help maintain peace and security in regions affected by conflict. Their goals include protecting civilians, supporting the implementation of peace agreements, assisting in disarmament, and helping rebuild governance and infrastructure. These missions are neutral and operate with the consent of the local parties, aiming to create stable conditions for lasting peace. Peacekeepers often monitor ceasefires, provide humanitarian aid, and support political processes to prevent violence from recurring.
