Truce

A truce is a temporary agreement between conflicting parties to stop fighting or hostilities. It’s often used to pause conflict for negotiations, aid delivery, or humanitarian reasons. Unlike a peace treaty, which finalizes an end to conflict, a truce is usually short-term and may be broken if parties disagree. It’s a strategic pause that aims to reduce violence and create space for dialogue, allowing both sides to reconsider their positions without ongoing violence. Truces are common in military or political conflicts and can help prevent further harm while seeking a longer-lasting solution.
