peace settlements
Negotiated conflict resolutions
Peace settlements are agreements that formally end armed conflicts between warring parties.
They typically establish terms for ceasefire, territorial boundaries, reparations, and future relations.
A peace settlement may be negotiated directly between combatants or brokered by third parties: The peace settlement required both sides to withdraw to pre-war borders.
Unlike informal truces, peace settlements aim for lasting resolution rather than temporary pause.
