1. Peacekeeping

   Peacekeeping refers to activities that tend to create conditions that favor lasting peace. It is thus distinguishable from both peacebuilding and peacemaking; however, many scholars and theorists disagree about the definitions of all three terms. Some of these refer to peacemaking, peacekeeping, and peacebuilding as constituting an interdependent theoretical and conceptual triad known as 'Active Peace'. There is broad consensus that as a general category, peacekeeping includes nonviolent accompaniment or interventions, speaking out for those who have little or no voice; bearing witness to the facts, mechanisms, dynamics, and results of violence and oppression; and passive resistance, or 'standing in the way of' violent or oppressive behaviors. As such, peacekeeping is often best accomplished by non-stakeholders in a conflict. The United Nations Charter gives the United Nations Security Council the power and responsibility to take collective action to maintain international peace and security. For this reason, the international community sometimes looks to the U.N. Security Council to authorize peacekeeping operations.
