Organisation that keeps peace in family court (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tribunal

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'court' is the definition.
(I know that court can be written as tribunal)

'organisation that keeps peace in family' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'organisation' could be 'un' (UN is an example) and 'un' is present in the answer.
'family' could be 'tribal' (both can mean relating to one's family) and 'tribal' is found in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tribunal that I've seen before include "Special court" , "Hearing" , "Adjudication body" , "Court of arbitration - unlit bar (anag)" , "A panel of judges" .)
