Diplomatic successes refer to the successful negotiations between two or more countries that result in agreements such as detentes, accords, and PACTS. Detentes are agreements that reduce tensions between two or more countries, often by limiting the number of weapons each country has. Accords are formal agreements between two or more countries that are usually legally binding. PACTS are similar to accords, but they are less formal and are not legally binding. All three of these diplomatic successes can help to create a more peaceful world.
