Peace Accord
A Peace Accord is a formal agreement between conflicting parties, typically governments and insurgent groups, aimed at ending hostilities and establishing peace. These accords outline terms such as ceasefires, disarmament, and political arrangements to address the underlying issues that caused the conflict. They often involve negotiations that seek to ensure cooperation and promote reconciliation among different communities. Peace Accords are crucial for rebuilding societies after war, ensuring stability, and preventing future violence. Successful implementation can lead to lasting peace and development, while failure can result in renewed conflict.
