peace accords
Formal conflict resolution
Peace accords are formal agreements between warring parties that establish terms for ending armed conflict.
They typically address issues like territorial boundaries, power-sharing arrangements, disarmament, and reconciliation processes.
Unlike a simple ceasefire, which merely stops fighting, peace accords aim to resolve underlying disputes and create conditions for lasting peace.
The peace accords included provisions for refugee return and war crimes tribunals.
Major examples include the Camp David Accords and the Dayton Accords, which ended the Bosnian War.
