peaceful resolution
Nonviolent conflict ending
Peaceful resolution is the settling of a conflict or dispute without violence or force.
The phrase typically appears in diplomatic and legal contexts: Both sides remain committed to a peaceful resolution.
It implies negotiation, compromise, or mediation rather than war, litigation, or coercion.
The term often signals optimism about avoiding escalation: We're hopeful a peaceful resolution can still be reached.
