Peacekeeping

Peacekeeping refers to the activities aimed at maintaining peace and security in conflict-affected areas, typically through the deployment of international forces. These forces can include military personnel, police, and civilian members, often organized under the auspices of international organizations such as the United Nations. The primary goal of peacekeeping is to provide a framework for the peaceful resolution of disputes, prevent the resurgence of conflict, and promote stability in regions facing unrest. Peacekeeping operations may involve monitoring ceasefires, supporting the implementation of peace agreements, protecting civilians, and assisting in humanitarian efforts. The concept embodies a commitment to preventing violence and fostering a conducive environment for negotiation and reconciliation among conflicting parties. Peacekeeping often operates under the principles of consent, neutrality, and impartiality, which are essential for gaining the trust of host nations and communities.
