Ceasefire

A ceasefire is an agreement or order suspending fighting between opposing forces, temporarily or indefinitely. It may cover all combat or only specified forces, places, or activities.

Armistice: An agreement between warring parties to stop military operations, often pending a political settlement. An armistice formalizes a halt to hostilities, sometimes with more detailed military arrangements.
Armed conflict: Organized hostilities between states or between a state and organized armed groups. A ceasefire suspends fighting within an armed conflict without necessarily ending it.
Truce: A temporary suspension of fighting, often limited in time or purpose. A truce usually signals a temporary pause, while ceasefire can describe broader or indefinite arrangements.
Korean Armistice Agreement: The 1953 agreement that suspended hostilities in the Korean War and established a military demarcation line. It halted large-scale fighting without producing a peace treaty between the Koreas.
Humanitarian corridor: A designated route or area intended to allow civilians or aid to move through a conflict zone. Ceasefires may enable safe passage for civilians and humanitarian supplies.
Cessation of hostilities: A suspension of armed actions that may be declared or agreed without resolving the conflict. This phrase often describes the immediate pause a ceasefire is meant to secure.
Peace agreement: A formal arrangement intended to resolve or transform a conflict and establish relations after fighting. Unlike a ceasefire, a peace agreement may address the conflict's underlying political issues.
Surrender: The acceptance of defeat by a force or party, usually ending its organized resistance. A ceasefire suspends fighting by agreement or order; surrender entails submission by one side.
Good Friday Agreement: The 1998 agreement that established political institutions and commitments to reduce violence in Northern Ireland. Its provisions paired political arrangements with measures supporting an end to armed violence.
Humanitarian pause: A limited suspension of hostilities intended to facilitate humanitarian action. A humanitarian pause has a defined relief purpose and may cover less than a general ceasefire.
