Peace making covers the activities conducted after commencement of
a conflict, to secure a ceasefire or prompt a rapid peaceful settlement.
Military support may be required to add weight to the diplomatic
process.

These are operations undertaken under the consent of all the major
parties in a conflict under Chapter VI of the UN Charter, to monitor and
