Treaty peace
A contractual peace comes about through a contractually secured conclusion of peace between two or more warring parties. In international martial law, the treaty peace has a legal meaning in the sense of legal security .
background
After philosophical design Perpetual Peace by Immanuel Kant , a different contractual peace agreement from a mere ceasefire , which has to continue the war at a later time to the destination. On this point, Kant wrote in the first section: "No peace agreement should apply to someone who has been made into a future war with the secret reservation of the subject matter."
Wilhelm Wundt clearly distinguishes between the treaty peace as true peace and the conclusion of peace as false peace. In his opinion, a just peace, in which none of the parties involved is disadvantaged or taken advantage of, is the basis for the treaty peace. As a peace treaty imposed from outside, he contrasts this with the so-called " dictated peace ", in which the burdens are placed on the vanquished, while the winners only benefit from the conclusion of the contract (e.g. compensation payments or assignment of territory).
A peace treaty can therefore have negative effects. If peace can only come about on the basis of a (drastic) treaty, then it is often not permanent; an example of this is the Versailles Peace Treaty of 1919 at the end of the First World War . A legal distinction is to be made between the contractual rest , which arises from an interruption of the contractual relationship. The contractual peace as a whole is jeopardized if one of the parties questions or breaks the evaluation of the agreed services , because the following applies to contracts: pacta sunt servanda (contracts must be fulfilled).
