Peacekeeping missions are operations conducted by international organizations, such as the United Nations, to help maintain peace and security in conflict-affected areas. These missions often involve deploying military personnel, police, and civilian experts to monitor ceasefires, protect civilians, and support the implementation of peace agreements. The primary goal of peacekeeping is to create a stable environment where political processes can take place, allowing communities to rebuild and recover. Peacekeepers work alongside local authorities and organizations to promote dialogue, support humanitarian efforts, and facilitate the return of displaced persons, ultimately aiming to prevent the resurgence of violence.
