'Keep the peace' nghĩa là duy trì trật tự an ninh (maintain public order; prevent strife).

Ví dụ
Nearly 20 years ago, to keep the peace within MPD, Robinson and other police officials had taken the opposite approach, opting for transparency, however painful the facts were.

Ericson is also concerned about how disruptive (phá vỡ) living in a motel will be for her kids and what the close quarters will mean for the family. "We are going to get on each other's nerves and be at each other's throats (cãi nhau) quickly," she said. "It's hard with an eight- and a 10-year-old who, on a rotating basis, are best friends and mortal enemies (kẻ thù không đội trời chung). Trying to keep the peace will probably be my biggest challenge."

‘It’s the last chance to keep the peace in Europe’: The path Angela Merkel and Francois Hollande are now treading (đặt chân lên) to try to end the war in eastern Ukraine will not be easy. So far, all diplomatic initiatives have failed. And the outcome of the new mission is far from certain. Yet the German chancellor and the French president have now brought their entire political weight to bear. They know there is a great deal at stake – because this war could still become far, far worse if they do not manage to halt the cycle of violence.

Having a peacekeeping force on the ground that does nothing to actually keep the peace makes those poor, brave soldiers sitting ducks (mục tiêu dễ dàng) in someone else’s war and undermines the credibility of the United Nations (a precious commodity to begin with). How is any combatant (tham chiến) party in the world supposed to take seriously the guarantee that they can safely lay down their weapons due to the insertion of a UN peacekeeping force when the glaring (rành rành, hiển nhiên) example of southern Lebanon tells them otherwise?
