international peacekeeping
Cross-border conflict resolution
International peacekeeping refers to the deployment of military, police, or civilian personnel—typically under United Nations authorization—to regions experiencing or recovering from armed conflict.
Peacekeepers work to maintain ceasefires, protect civilians, and support political transitions, though they traditionally operate with the consent of warring parties and use force only in self-defense.
The concept expanded significantly after the Cold War to include broader mandates such as election monitoring and humanitarian assistance.
International peacekeeping forces were deployed to stabilize the region after the ceasefire.
