nonaggression treaty
Mutual ceasefire agreement
A nonaggression treaty is a formal agreement between nations pledging not to attack or wage war against each other.
Such pacts typically establish diplomatic frameworks for resolving disputes peacefully and may include provisions about neutrality if one party goes to war with a third country.
The term is most associated with the Nazi-Soviet Nonaggression Pact of 1939, which secretly divided Eastern Europe between Germany and the Soviet Union.
The two neighboring countries signed a nonaggression treaty to ease border tensions.
