peacekeeping operations
Stability enforcement missions
Peacekeeping operations are military or civilian missions deployed to maintain peace in conflict zones, typically under international authority like the United Nations.
Peacekeepers monitor ceasefires, protect civilians, and support political processes without taking sides: UN peacekeeping operations in the region helped stabilize the border.
The term encompasses everything from unarmed observers to armed forces authorized to use defensive force.
