Peace negotiations refer to the formal discussions and processes aimed at resolving conflicts and establishing peace between opposing parties, typically following a period of conflict or war. These negotiations involve representatives from the conflicting sides and may include third-party mediators who seek to facilitate dialogue and compromise. The goal of peace negotiations is to reach agreements that address the underlying issues of the conflict, such as territorial disputes, governance, security arrangements, and humanitarian concerns. Successful peace negotiations often result in treaties or accords that outline the terms for cessation of hostilities, rebuilding efforts, and frameworks for long-term peace and cooperation. The process can be complex and may involve multiple rounds of discussions, compromises, and ongoing dialogue to achieve a sustainable resolution.
