Within the  United Nations (UN) group of nation-state governments and organizations, there is a general understanding that at the international level, peacekeepers monitor and observe  peace processes in post-conflict areas, and may assist ex-combatants in implementing  peace agreement commitments that they have undertaken. Such assistance may come in many forms, including confidence-building measures, power-sharing arrangements, electoral support, strengthening the  rule of law, and economic and social development. Accordingly, the  UN peacekeepers (often referred to as  Blue Berets or  Blue Helmets because of their light blue  berets or helmets) can include soldiers, police officers, and civilian personnel.
