Neutrality refers to the state or quality of being impartial, unbiased and not taking sides in a dispute or conflict. It involves maintaining an objective stance and avoiding any involvement or influence in favor of one party over another. Neutrality can be applied to individuals, groups, organizations, or even countries, who choose to remain independent and detached from the issues at hand. In international relations, neutrality is often associated with a country's decision not to participate in conflicts between other nations, either by remaining uninvolved or by actively maintaining peaceful relationships with all parties involved.
