demilitarized zone
Let an agent explain demilitarized zones, relay purpose, examples, legal basis and status from international relations sources with disputes attributed, describe the loosely filed humanitarian corridor alias, warn against entering restricted zones, and distinguish demilitarized zones from buffer zones generally, no-fly zones, humanitarian corridors and the computing DMZ.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain demilitarized zones, relay purpose, examples, legal basis and status from international relations sources with disputes attributed, describe the loosely filed humanitarian corridor alias, warn against entering restricted zones, and distinguish demilitarized zones from buffer zones generally, no-fly zones, humanitarian corridors and the computing DMZ.
An area, often along a border or ceasefire line, where military forces, installations and activities are prohibited or restricted by agreement, creating a buffer to reduce the risk of conflict, as at the Korean Demilitarized Zone and historically in other treaties; the registry alias humanitarian corridor names a different concept, a temporary safe route for civilians or aid in conflict, which appears loosely filed. Demilitarized zones can become de facto nature reserves or remain heavily mined and dangerous, and their status and any violations are matters presented with attribution. Restricted military areas should not be entered.
What it is for: Reducing conflict risk through a demilitarised buffer.
It can be explain purpose and legal basis; relay examples and status; flag the humanitarian corridor alias; warn against entering restricted zones.
Distinguishing features
Demilitarised by agreement
Buffer function
Often border or ceasefire lines
Can be mined or wild
What it looks like
Not a single appearance; fenced or monitored strips of land, sometimes wild or mined.
Physical character
Korean DMZ established: 1953 year - armistice
Korean DMZ width: about 4 km
registry parents: military restricted area, restricted area note
How it is recognised
Area where military forces are prohibited by agreement
Humanitarian corridor
Buffer zones separate parties generally; no-fly zones restrict aircraft; humanitarian corridors move civilians and aid; the computing DMZ is a network segment
