international peace
Worldwide absence of conflict
International peace is the absence of armed conflict between nations, along with the diplomatic conditions that sustain it.
The term appears in treaties, UN resolutions, and foreign policy discourse: The summit aimed to promote international peace and security.
It implies not just the lack of war but active cooperation—trade agreements, mutual defense pacts, and shared institutions that reduce the likelihood of hostilities.
