Ceasefire

A ceasefire is a temporary agreement between conflicting parties to stop fighting. It typically aims to pause hostilities to allow for negotiations, humanitarian aid delivery, or the rebuilding of trust. Unlike a peace treaty, which officially ends a conflict, a ceasefire is often limited in scope and duration. It does not resolve underlying issues but provides a necessary respite to facilitate dialogue and reduce immediate harm. Ceasefires are important tools in conflict resolution, helping prevent further violence while political solutions are negotiated.
