A cold peace is a state of relative peace between two countries that is marked by the enforcement of a peace treaty ending the state of war while the government or populace of at least one of the parties to the treaty continues to treat the treaty with vocal disgust domestically. The term “cold peace” was first introduced in late 1982 by Boutros Boutros-Ghali, who was then serving as a junior foreign minister and would later become UN Secretary-General.
