abstract:A non-aggression pact is a national treaty between two or more states/countries agreeing to avoid war or armed conflict between them and resolve their disputes through peaceful negotiations. Sometimes such a pact may include a pledge of avoiding armed conflict even if participants find themselves fighting third countries, including allies of one of the participants.
Nor is there much pressure from big shareholders to increase profits: the cross-shareholdings of the keiretsu come with an implicit non-aggression pact.
