nonaggression pact
Mutual ceasefire agreement
A nonaggression pact is a treaty between nations agreeing not to attack each other.
Such agreements may include promises of neutrality if one party goes to war with a third country.
The term often evokes the 1939 Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, which Germany violated two years later.
The two rivals signed a nonaggression pact.
