non-aggression
Pledged peaceful coexistence
Non-aggression is the principle or policy of refraining from attacking or initiating force against others.
It appears most often in diplomatic contexts: a non-aggression pact is a treaty in which nations agree not to attack each other.
In political philosophy, the non-aggression principle holds that initiating force against persons or property is inherently wrong.
