Truce - Armistice

Japanese: 休戦 - きゅうせん

It refers to the cessation of fighting by agreement between the warring parties during war. There are general ceasefires, which halt all military operations across the entire combat zone, and partial ceasefires, which only halt operations in a specific area. It is distinguished from temporary and partial ceasefires. It is usually conducted at a stage when the time for peace is ripe and further fighting is no longer necessary. Armistice agreements are generally concluded under the authority of the local commander, and the duration of the ceasefire is usually set, but the state of war continues. It is becoming more common to end a conflict by an armistice agreement rather than a peace treaty that ends the state of war. There are provisions for this in the Hague Conventions on the Laws of War on Land, but customary law must also be taken into consideration. → Geneva Conventions → Related topics Military demarcation line | Surrender | War | Declaration of an end to the state of war

Japanese:

戦争中，交戦当事者の合意により戦闘を停止することをいい，全戦闘地域にわたって一切の軍事作戦行動を停止させる全般的休戦と特定地に限って停止する部分的休戦とがある。一時的かつ部分的な停戦とは区別される。通常，講和の機が熟し，戦闘がそれ以上不必要な段階で行われる。一般に休戦協定は現地の司令官の権限で結ばれ，休戦期間が定められるのが通例だが，戦争状態は継続する。戦争状態を終結させる平和条約によらず，休戦協定によって事実上紛争を終結させることも多くなっている。ハーグ陸戦法規にも規定があるが，なお慣習法を合わせ考慮することを要する。→ジュネーブ協定
