A ceasefire deal is an agreement between parties in a conflict to halt hostilities and combat operations for a specified period or indefinitely. The purpose of a ceasefire is to reduce violence, create a conducive environment for negotiations, and allow for humanitarian assistance to reach affected populations. Ceasefire agreements can be temporary or permanent and may include terms that address specific issues such as the withdrawal of troops, the exchange of prisoners, or the provision of humanitarian aid.
These deals can be challenging to implement and maintain, as the parties involved may have differing motivations and levels of trust. Successful ceasefires often require monitoring by third parties, such as international organizations or coalition forces, to ensure compliance and manage any disputes that arise.
