CEASEFIRE	PARTIES	MEDIATOR	DATES	STATUS	VIOLATIONS
Ethiopia-Tigray / Pretoria Agreement Large-scale conventional fighting has not resumed and the accord is broadly holding, even as implementation gaps and localized insecurity persist. TERMS: Permanent cessation of hostilities, disarmament sequencing, restoration of services, and humanitarian access.	Federal Government of Ethiopia and TPLF	African Union	START Nov 2, 2022 END Open-ended	ACTIVE	14 reported episodes
Syria / Idlib Ceasefire The deal prevented a full return to major offensive warfare in Idlib, but artillery, drone strikes, and cross-line incidents continued. TERMS: Front-line de-escalation in Idlib, joint patrol provisions, and a security corridor along the M4 highway.	Syrian government forces and armed opposition formations	Russia and Turkey	START Mar 5, 2020 END Open-ended	FRAGILE	1,330 reported episodes
South Sudan / Revitalized Peace Agreement The agreement has averted a return to full-scale civil war, but political mistrust, delayed security reforms, and local violence keep it precarious. TERMS: Power-sharing transition, cantonment and unification of forces, constitutional reform, and election preparations.	Government of South Sudan, SPLM-IO, and opposition groups	IGAD, African Union	START Sep 12, 2018 END Open-ended	FRAGILE	121 reported episodes
Israel-Hamas / Phased Gaza Framework The arrangement reduced violence in bursts but remained highly unstable, with repeated accusations of breaches and stalled phase transitions. TERMS: Hostage-prisoner exchanges, phased military pullbacks, aid scale-up, and talks on a broader end-state.	Israel and Hamas	Qatar, Egypt, United States	START Jan 19, 2025 END Open-ended	FRAGILE	96 reported episodes
Libya / Permanent Ceasefire Agreement The line of contact largely held, but militia fragmentation, delayed foreign fighter exits, and periodic clashes kept the arrangement brittle. TERMS: Front-line freeze, foreign fighter withdrawal, confidence-building measures, and security-sector coordination.	Libyan Arab Armed Forces and Government-aligned forces	UNSMIL 5+5 Joint Military Commission	START Oct 23, 2020 END Open-ended	FRAGILE	39 reported episodes
Ukraine-Russia / Minsk II The framework repeatedly fractured along the line of contact and effectively collapsed when Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022. TERMS: Immediate ceasefire, heavy-weapon withdrawal, prisoner releases, and a political roadmap for Donbas.	Ukraine, Russia, OSCE-backed separatist representatives	France, Germany, OSCE	START Feb 12, 2015 END Feb 24, 2022	VIOLATED	14,250 reported episodes

TERMS: Humanitarian corridors, civilian protection commitments, and a short monitored pause in offensive operations.

Myanmar / Haigeng Agreement Fighting resumed within months, especially around northern Shan and Rakhine, eroding confidence in Beijing-backed de-escalation. TERMS: Pause offensives in northern Shan, reopen border trade, and create channels for local de-escalation.	Myanmar military and Three Brotherhood Alliance	China	START Jan 11, 2024 END Jun 25, 2024	VIOLATED	210 reported episodes
Yemen / UN-Brokered Nationwide Truce The truce sharply reduced nationwide violence but was not formally renewed after October 2022, leaving only an informal de-escalation legacy. TERMS: Nationwide reduction in hostilities, fuel shipments into Hudaydah, commercial flights from Sana'a, and talks on Taiz roads.
