peace proposal
Offer to reconcile
A peace proposal is a formal offer to end a conflict, typically outlining terms for ceasefire, territorial arrangements, or diplomatic resolution.
Peace proposals may come from warring parties, neutral mediators, or international bodies: The UN envoy presented a peace proposal that neither side accepted.
The term implies structured negotiation rather than unconditional surrender.
