Only a moratorium can provide "all the combatants a chance". A time to reevaluate their positions.

umhhh good question.

Basically it means a time frame, a window for instance 2 months in which the two factions could reflect on something.

Notice in this case the sentence talks about a moratorium in the arms shipment. Turns out, it means a stop in the selling of arms

Hope this helps
