Alþjóðagæslusamningur
Alþjóðagæslusamningur translates to International Peacekeeping Agreement in English. This term generally refers to a formal agreement or treaty established between nations or international organizations to deploy and manage peacekeeping forces in a region experiencing conflict. Such agreements are typically multilateral, involving multiple countries contributing personnel and resources to a peacekeeping mission. The primary objective of these agreements is to facilitate the cessation of hostilities, protect civilians, support the implementation of peace processes, and promote stability. The United Nations is a prominent body that often facilitates and oversees peacekeeping operations under specific Security Council mandates, which are themselves forms of international agreements. These agreements usually outline the rules of engagement for peacekeepers, their mandate, duration, and the responsibilities of participating states. The establishment of an Alþjóðagæslusamningur is a crucial step in international diplomacy aimed at resolving conflicts peacefully and preventing further escalation.
