peacekeeping force
International stability soldiers
A peacekeeping force is a military or police contingent deployed to maintain peace in a conflict zone, typically under international authority such as the United Nations.
These forces monitor ceasefires, separate warring parties, and protect civilians, usually operating with the consent of the parties involved: UN peacekeeping forces were stationed along the border.
The term implies neutrality—peacekeepers are meant to keep peace, not fight wars.
