ceasefire line

A ceasefire line is a boundary established between opposing forces during a conflict, signifying where active fighting has stopped. It usually results from negotiations or agreements aimed at reducing violence, often following battles or prolonged hostilities. This line is not a permanent border but serves as a temporary measure to maintain peace, protect civilians, and facilitate humanitarian aid. Ceasefire lines are essential in conflict resolution processes and can lead to discussions about a more lasting peace agreement. Examples include divisions in regions like Kashmir or historical lines in various military conflicts globally.
