peacekeeping forces
International stability soldiers
Peacekeeping forces are military or police personnel deployed to maintain peace in conflict zones, typically under international authority such as the United Nations.
They monitor ceasefires, protect civilians, and create conditions for political resolution rather than fighting to achieve victory: UN peacekeeping forces were stationed along the border.
The term implies neutrality—peacekeepers theoretically don't take sides.
