Demilitarisation or demilitarization may mean the reduction of state armed forces; it is the opposite of militarisation in many respects.[1] For instance, the demilitarisation of Northern Ireland entailed the reduction of British security and military apparatuses.[2] Demilitarisation in this sense is usually the result of a peace treaty ending a war or a major conflict. The principle is distinguished from demobilisation, which refers to the drastic voluntary reduction in the size of a victorious army.
