peacekeeping mission
International conflict intervention
A peacekeeping mission is a military or civilian operation deployed to maintain peace in a conflict zone, typically under international authority such as the United Nations.
These missions monitor ceasefires, protect civilians, and facilitate political processes: UN peacekeeping missions in Africa have had mixed results.
The term implies neutrality—peacekeepers aren't there to fight but to prevent fighting.
