Military personnel or organizations sent to areas of conflict to maintain peace and prevent fighting between groups.
Composed of 'peace' (from Latin 'pax') and 'keeper' (one who keeps or maintains); modern term developed during the Cold War for international military forces.
UN peacekeepers are caught in impossible situations—they're supposed to stop violence without fighting themselves, making them one of the most challenging roles in modern military service.
