Armistice Agreement

An Armistice Agreement is a formal agreement to stop fighting between conflicting parties, typically in a war or military conflict. It marks a ceasefire, allowing for negotiations, peace talks, or withdrawal of forces. Unlike a peace treaty, it doesn't necessarily resolve the underlying causes of the conflict but temporarily halts hostilities. The agreement details how and where fighting stops, often including arrangements for prisoner exchanges or safety zones. Its goal is to create a pause that enables all sides to work toward a more comprehensive peace settlement later on.
