armistice agreement
Formal fighting halt
An armistice agreement is a formal arrangement between warring parties to stop fighting, typically while peace terms are negotiated.
It halts hostilities without ending the state of war—a ceasefire made official.
The armistice agreement was signed but tensions remained high along the border.
The phrase is somewhat redundant, since an armistice is itself a type of agreement.
