Peacekeeping

The main function of peacekeeping is to facilitate the transition from violence in post-conflict zones to peace through the provision of peacekeeping forces, mostly from the national armies or intergovernmental organizations of UN member states.

Conflict resolution

is the process of achieving a negative peace on the basis of a mutually agreed understanding through the mediation and assistance of a third party.
