Nonaggression pacts, also known as peace treaties or ceasefire agreements, are agreements between two or more parties to refrain from using force against each other. These pacts are important for maintaining peace and stability between nations, especially during times of conflict. Other synonyms for nonaggression pacts include armistice, truce, detente, entente, ceasefire, and peace accord. Some of these terms may have slightly different nuances, such as armistice referring specifically to a temporary cessation of hostilities during war. However, all of these words describe agreements made with the goal of reducing violence and promoting peaceful relations between nations.
