A safe haven is a place of safety and security.
The term was popularised by British Prime Minister John Major, who called for the establishment of safe havens in Iraq after the First Gulf War to protect Kurdish rebels in the north of the country and Shia rebels in the south from the revenge of Saddam Hussein. His initiative led to the creation of no-fly zones in these areas.
