A place, be it a nation, colony, city, special district, or the cafe on the border of gang territory, where neutrality is the operating principle. Unlike The Neutral Zone or a demilitarized zone where members of the opposing side risk being shot if they enter, the Truce Zone actively encourages people of all stripes to visit and do business. Having shooting break out in a truce zone between opposing sides is bad for business and is strictly discouraged, often forcefully by the local law. Or everyone else will just mob you.
Some Truce Zones refer to themselves as a "free city", a region not controlled by The Empire, The Federation, or any other nation-state. A frequently seen aspect of these places is that they are centers for trade and commerce and may have laws favoring businesses that might wish to establish themselves there. Such places often conveniently fail to have extradition agreements with the big players. Many free city Truce Zones take this further and allow businesses and people of questionable nature to exist there as long as they don't cause trouble for the place, making it a Wretched Hive attractive to criminal elements and bounty hunters as well as anyone fleeing The Government for more heroic reasons. Anyone who enters the free city and obeys the truce rules can expect equal protection from local law enforcement, so this is a relatively safe place for fugitives.
Sister trope of Holy Ground. If the truce is not tied to a specific location, it may be an Enforced Cold War. Contrast The Neutral Zone, which despite sounding the same, is actually the opposite — instead of both sides coexisting, neither side is allowed entry. Often combined with City of Spies, Hub City, Vice City (in the seedier ones), and Good-Guy Bar (and sometimes Bad Guy Bar). In sci-fi settings, it's frequently a Space Station. Sometimes includes (or is) a Bazaar of the Bizarre or Inn Between the Worlds. May well include a Power Nullifier and/or Anti-Magic field for added security and deterrence; after all, Mr Joe Bulletproof is much less likely to start a fight if he's not so bulletproof after all. May also enforce their neutrality through some form of Magically-Binding Contract or Geas, usually with severe penalties for anyone who attempts to break the peace.

Dune: Not only are Heighliners the only form of interstellar travel available (until the invention of the No-Ship), but they are also neutral territory because of the high likelihood of rival houses encountering another onboard - and therefore the likelihood of violence. So grave is the threat of losing FTL privileges, that even the most mortal of enemies will be forced to play nice aboard these massive vessels.

In Worm, Brockton Bay has a pub called Somer's Rock that acts as this for the supervillains of the town. The waitstaff is all deaf, to better facilitate free conversation. Ironically enough, the first and only time it’s actually used as a meeting ground it’s to confirm that the one gang that didn’t show up has gone too far (city-wide terror bombing is bad for everybody, not just the good guys) and is gonna get it, and sort out the initial plans as to how.

Numerous examples are present in Star Trek Online: There's a Ferengi-operated bar in the Neutral zone, where Klingon and Federation players can both visit, and the entire Deferi Sector block and Borg Sectors are an Enemy Mine variation, where the two factions have set their differences aside to deal with a more important issue (The Deferi are allies of both sides, believing in "Balance", and naturally no one wants the Borg interfering.), Deep Space Nine is a combination of Enemy Mine against the Dominion and a convenient meeting place to speak about Borg issues (the Federation's transwarp gate to Borg space is one sector away, as is Deferi space, which is seeing heavy attacks by the Borg), and the Tau Dewa Sector block are home to another ally of both sides (a Romulan faction, enemy to the Tal Shiar and seeking a new peaceful beginning with its neighbours).
One reason why there is numerous zones is that (by Word of God) the war is de-facto over by the high-levels as more and more Enemy Mine situations keep cropping up (Borg, Dominion, Iconians, Undine, an Omega-particle producing facility the Voth are trying to take over...) — the Solanae Sphere goes so far as to be an allied zone, where the Klingons, Federation (and aforementioned Romulan faction, who take the lead due to the access-point being in their space) outright call what they have there an alliance.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl has a version of this with the "Bar" area... mostly. While there is essentially a cease-fire in effect all the time (on threat of being shot), mercenaries and monsters will occasionally spawn and start wiping out the neutral and duty stalkers in the area and then disappearing before the player arrives in the area, meaning that a previously vibrant area (compared to the rest of the Zone, at least) will slowly, over time, turn into a silent graveyard strewn with previously alive stalkers, with no sign of what killed people. Thankfully, there are Game Mods that fix this.
Clear Sky on the other hand, has the more traditional approach with weapons-free zones in some areas (the Clear Sky Base, for instance), making them safe places to stay whilst waiting for sunrise.
In Call of Pripyat, the neutral settlement of Yanov, formerly a train station, is one of these, with the center third of the main building acting as a neutral gathering place for stalkers from every faction, and the two wings of the building functioning as the area headquarters for detachments of Duty and Freedom forces (who are still officially at war when outside the settlement). The 'town' of Skadovsk, an old shipwreck converted into a fortress, acts as one as well, albeit on a lesser scale since there are no organized factions operating in that area of the Zone.

Chapter 2 shows that there are multiple branches of the Continental operating throughout the world, all serving as a neutral hub for criminals. After a brutal fight through the city, Cassian and John (literally) crash through the window of the Rome Continental and are ordered to cease their fight to the death per the hotel's rules. Visibly annoyed, they comply. Much later Santino exploits the rules by essentially promising to simply stay at the hotel to save himself but John shoots him anyway. For this act, John is sentenced to death, but Winston gives him an hour's head start out of respect.

The planet Zenophon in The Space Gypsy Adventures is neutral territory, hence the reason why so many of the eponymous space gypsies like to hide out from the Federal Alliance there. Not that this stops Spiker and Bones from giving Gemma and her friends a hard time...

Caritas, the karaoke bar run by The Host/Lorne on Angel was neutral ground, and via a spell, demons were not able to use their powers there - but that didn't stop some humans from invading and killing a bunch of them with the non-supernatural power of Gun Violence. Worse the nature of the spell meant the demons couldn't even fight back, leading to slaughter. It was rebuilt with new wards to keep anyone from committing violent acts, but that didn't stop Daniel Holtz from throwing a firebomb in from outside.

In the Old World of Darkness' Vampire: The Masquerade, the Prince of a city can declare a specific place to be Elysium, which acts as a Truce Zone for the vampires of that city.
Every now and again, truly neutral cities would pop up. Cairo was known for being an independent city, and Vancouver refused entry to both the Camarilla and the Sabbat (enforced by werewolves, until a Revised splatbook suggested the arrangement had changed). For a while, Los Angeles was the "Anarch Free State," and declared free of sectarian concerns.

With This Ring: Raggashoon, in the Vega Systems, attempts to remain neutral, which is part of the reason that the various pirate organisations meet with the Spider Guild there. Fights do break out, but when it happens, there are no questions asked about why anyone was fighting; whoever started it gets handed over to the Citadel Empire for execution — or, if they're interesting enough, to become a Psion's next research project.

The Highlander franchise: anywhere considered holy ground, be it a church, synagogue, or Shinto temple, is deemed safe refuge for an immortal so long as he stays there. However, this only protects them from other immortals and mortals can still kill them on holy ground. Immortal legend has it that the last time two immortals tried to fight on holy ground, it was in Pompeii in 79 AD. Everyone knows how that ended.

Gringotts Bank in the Harry Potter books is a truce zone. The goblins have a policy of taking no sides on war between human factions. Because of that, they don't care which stance each client of their bank takes. Despite being a fugitive in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Sirius Black could order a Firebolt. The bank's truce zone status might have been lost during the events of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

As goes its literary progenitor, so goes The Dresden Files RPG. In fact, the identity and nature of the local Accorded Neutral Grounds is generally considered one of the key facts of any given DFRPG campaign. One of the first (the very first?) published adventures even centers around a coffee shop punningly named Neutral Grounds.

Restaurant to Another World: The Nekoya itself serves as this, albeit in an unofficial capacity. Rather than any sort of treaty or pact made, the various races all agree not to act out violently or disrupt the meals of each other. And it's not because one of the waitresses is literally an immortal entity of death either. No, it's because the Master has no problem revoking their privilege of the delicious food they go there to eat.

World of Warcraft:
Generally speaking, a zone that is labeled a Sanctuary is a Truce Zone. PVP is not permitted there, whether you're in a PVP server or not. Some of them that are used for events often have Horde and Alliance civilians as background NPCs, but never together.
The goblins are an independent race and in their cities, Horde and Alliance players can trade with each other. Shattrath City houses refugees from both sides and Dalaran City is run by neutral mages; they qualify as well, even going so far as to have an aura forbidding Player Versus Player combat. The Druid enclave, Moonglade, is also a truce zone for Night Elf and Tauren Druids.
Note that in Shattrath and Dalaran, neutrality is enforced by the rules of the game itself; player vs. player combat is impossible barring one long-ago event or exploits or other glitches. This forms an interesting contrast with the Steamwheedle Cartel goblin cities, in which neutrality is enforced by NPCs. So you can fight with another player there all you want as long as you're prepared for the guards to come down hard on you (or on the other guy for fighting back). For low-level characters, the wrath of multiple city guards at max-level with abilities specifically tailored to protect their city basically means a One-Hit Kill. But for higher-level characters, killing another player of the opposing faction and then fleeing or even beating the guards is sometimes feasible. Then consider that some players actually want to kill the Steamwheedle Cartel guards for a certain achievement, and these goblin cities are much... rowdier than the average Truce Zone.
Neutral cities in Contested Territory like Booty Bay are Truce Zones as far as story goes. a player can try to PVP an enemy there, but if a guard is within earshot, he'll turn hostile to whoever started it, making it a bad idea.

Sigil in the Planescape setting. Angels, demons, and devils rub shoulders alongside mortal races of all shapes and kinds in there without anyone causing overt trouble. While a certain level of 'mundane' criminal activity is to be expected, those who attempt to turn Sigil into an open battleground are dealt with by the Lady of Pain. The only creatures who aren't allowed in the city are deities themselves; that's the Lady's most stringent rule, and her presence bars them from entering and severely punishes anyone who tries to break them in.
Fan expansion mimir.net introduces La Pax, a Sigil tavern for fiends and celestials. It's an Anti-Magic zone, so any Bar Brawls don't involve supernatural powers. Run, of course, by a rilmani.

Luke Cage (2016): Pop's Barber Shop on Lenox Avenue in Harlem is treated as a safe haven for people of all walks of life. A lot of the tragedy (and ass-kicking) that occurs during the show happens because Tone, one of Cottonmouth's soldiers, decides that his boss's respect of the rules (even knowing perfectly well that Pop and Cottonmouth have been friends for many years) makes him look weak, and shoots up the shop with a pair of submachine guns when he discovers that a street kid that had stolen from Cottonmouth is hiding there. He only succeeds in killing Pop, resulting in Luke going on the warpath against Cottonmouth and eventually the rest of the Stokes organization, while Cottonmouth is enraged enough by Tone's transgression to swiftly murder him on the spot the second he learns what happened.

Homestuck: The Veil is considered neutral territory between the warring Prospit and Derse in every session, so both kingdoms actively used it to house numerous laboratories in which to conduct genetic experiments to breed more chess piece soldiers for their perpetual war. When shit turns sour in the trolls' session, they hide out in one such laboratory which contains genetic experiments from both kingdoms.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Scipio, the headquarters of the Intergalactic Banking Clan has a neutral zone where representatives of both the Republic and Separatists can make requests for loans to help in their war effort. However, the neutrality of the IBC is dubious, with not only their chairman being on the Separatist Council but also attempting to put Rush Clovis as head of the IBC as a means to raise interest for the Republic's loans to levels that would bankrupt it while practically leaving the CIS alone on theirs.

The Senran Kagura series has Hanzo's sushi restaurant function as one of these. Hanzo himself is a celebrated Good Shinobi, but his long career has made him comfortable with the Grey-and-Gray Morality of the Shinobi lifestyle and he allows Evil Shinobi students to eat there and even fraternize with his granddaughter and her classmates (all Good Shinobi themselves). The truce is informal but enforced by the fact that it's Hanzo running the restaurant and any Shinobi who makes it to retirement age can break up a fight between trainees (or indeed, younger professionals) with his eyes closed.

The Godfather: One of the reasons the rival gangsters that kill Luca Brazzi were able to get the drop on him was because the bar where he was murdered was considered one of these by the Families. Michael and Tom talk about this as a point that the other Families want all-out war, which Michael is okay with giving them.

Men in Black:
Earth as a whole is this in Men in Black. K explains that the first aliens encountered were a group of refugees who requested that they be allowed to use Earth as an apolitical zone for aliens without a planet.
Men in Black II: This is the reason why the MIB cannot safeguard the Light of Zartha from Serleena, since it would technically break Earth's neutrality, so Kay does so in secret and erases his memory of the incident.

A Red Dwarf episode featured a zone within a ship where criminal activity could not occur (as in, attempts to break the law would cause the lawbreaker to suffer the consequences he hoped to inflict on someone else). At first, this was played solely for laughs (for instance, Lister's attempted arson causing his own backside to combust), but when a deranged simulant attacked the crew, Lister soon realized how to game the system in his own defense.

Hong Kong is treated this way in The Dark Knight - "no guns, all business". Lau flees there when not only was his fraudulent business about to be uncovered by Wayne, but the mob's money was about to be hit by Harvey Dent and Jim Gordon. Dent observes that Lau won't be extradited by the Chinese government, and the mob believes Lau is safe from Dent's jurisdiction. One of the reasons Batman is so damn scary for the mobsters that they cross the Godzilla Threshold and hire The Joker is that, as Joker points out (and it's later demonstrated), Batman gives absolutely zero shits about "legal jurisdiction" and will hunt down any criminal he wants to the ends of the Earth if he has to.

Neverwhere: London Below is a hotbed of feuding baronies, fiefdoms, and other factions. But no hostilities are permitted in the Floating Market. The last violation of the Market Truce was three centuries ago, and the violator is still paying the price.
Richard inadvertently demonstrates how sacrosanct the Market Truce is when they encounter Messrs. Croup and Vandemar. Not knowing about the Market Truce, he panics and throws his lunch in Mr. Vandemar's face (which is apparently not enough, in itself, to count as a breach of Market Truce). Mr. Vandemar has been known to kill people because he was bored and they were nearby, but his only reaction is to eat a few bits of food that stuck to him.

In the Marvel Universe there is a tailor who does costume work for both heroes and villains and his shop is something of a truce zone (he himself remains neutral, not divulging any information he hears). However, he sets different days of the week aside for heroes and villains (taking Sundays off) to avoid any trouble.
Marvel also has The Bar With No Name. While the place is mostly villain-exclusive, the proprietor claims an unwritten law that villains are safe while inside and any heroes that come in should treat them as ordinary customers. This hasn't stopped the likes of Spider-Man and Daredevil from starting a brawl once or twice in the New York branch, however, or the Scourge of the Underworld from killing the bartender in Ohio and unleashing a full-blown massacre on multiple unsuspecting villains in his introductory arc.

The only creatures who aren't allowed in the city are deities themselves; that's the Lady's most stringent rule, and her presence bars them from entering and severely punishes anyone who tries to break them in.
Fan expansion mimir.net introduces La Pax, a Sigil tavern for fiends and celestials. It's an Anti-Magic zone, so any Bar Brawls don't involve supernatural powers. Run, of course, by a rilmani.
Forgotten Realms has such places, usually enforced with divine or overwhelming arcane power. 1st Edition supplement Forgotten Realms Adventures: Temples of the deity Mask are neutral meeting sites for all thieves' guilds in a town. Most trade cities do this, some more than others. Trademeet (a town on the crossroad of two major caravan routes) for centuries enjoyed Merchant’s Peace, said to be declared by Waukeen herself. There's peer pressure to keep it in the merchant community, and the few who break it soon receive a beating with Laser-Guided Karma just shy of a Bolt of Divine Retribution — e.g. a merchant who tried to hinder another and accidentally caused his drowning soon was hit with a storm which ended the moment he went down, etc. Skullport — a Wretched Hive ruled by flying skulls who quickly suppress any open fighting. Sshamath — The Magocracy of drow who simply don't care about things that don't concern them or their trade and even for most creatures not getting along with dark elves elsewhere is a fairly safe place to visit — as long as one doesn't breach the peace, that is.
Manual of the Planes describes the demiplane "Common Ground", a meeting place for deities, where the participants are immune to each other's powers and attacks. It consists of nothing but a large, opulent chamber (150 m in diameter) with a table and chairs around it, as well as portals in the walls to each god's home plane. Mortals cannot enter due to special wards set around the place to prevent eavesdroppers hoping to learn divine secrets.
The Spire is this when deities require meeting in larger numbers, as all forms of magic, even divine powers, are negated there. The gods are known to meet in council at regular times. The rilmani tend to guard these meetings from nonmagical assaults, as it is in their best interest to do so, being the ones who enforce the Balance of the Multiverse.

Hansa Cervantes gets annoyed and points out that since Ayaka is an active Master, despite her refusal to participate, she's technically cheating, but does not turn her out. However, Gilgamesh attacks the church anyway. When Saber calls him out on this, Gilgamesh says he doesn't care about any institution for the gods.

Holy ground in Highlander; no immortals fight on holy ground (of any religion), and even the Chaotic Evil Kurgan obeys this rule (if only to protect himself). Later movies starting with the third have abandoned this to show the level of threat from the villain. See Live Action TV entry for a possible reason why.

In his defense, at the time he's a newly risen Immortal. He learns his lesson quickly. Even picking up a broken sword with the intention to hunt down a faraway enemy Immortal is enough to merit him a Bolt of Divine Retribution.

Mass Effect:
Krogan have Crushes, the closest thing they have to holy ground, and which every clan tends to respect. Urdnot Wrex's father summoned him to a Crush, which turned out to be a trap. Wrex still walked out of that one alive. His father didn't.
Assuming he lives to Mass Effect 2, Wrex turns all of Urdnot territory into one of these, allowing other clans to share with them, on the condition they behave by Urdnot rules. If not, they don't get to come back.
Mass Effect: Andromeda: On Elaaden, there's the Paradise, the only drinking hole outside the krogan colony, where the owner Annea maintains a truce between the maniacs, thugs, and psychos of Elaaden by making it clear if anyone starts trouble, she'll dump her water supply over the precarious cliff edge they're sitting on. Annea knows where the water comes from, they don't, and she likes lording this fact over everyone.

Rebuild World:
The places in the slums where the Corporate Government distributes its free nanomachine-infested Mystery Meat and radioactive plant products for the inhabitants are somewhat of an example. Just don't disorder the line, or you'll be beaten to death to make an example and keep them from packing up and leaving. Akira has to calculate just how far to stand away from it to avoid that, but close enough to avoid his food being stolen.
Hunters Office locations serve as this; it's said that picking a fight within one is tantamount to attacking the city itself. This is why Akira chews out Erio for asking him to escort Sheryl to one.
Yatsubiyashi's slum clinic is an example out of fear of him refusing to treat wounded slum dwellers, which he does for free provided they allow him his Playing with Syringes.

Star Trek:
Star Trek: The Original Series: The Organian Peace Treaty turns the entire galaxy into this for the Federation and the Klingon Empire. Warfare between the two sides is simply not permitted. The Organians don't seem to object to bar brawls ("The Trouble With Tribbles") or proxy wars ("A Private Little War"). By the time of Star Trek: The Next Generation, the peace treaty seems to have been forgotten, and the Organians are never heard from again.
Star Trek: The Next Generation: In "Redemption: Part II", the capital city of Qo'noS is used as one between supporters of Gowron and supporters of the House of Duras in the midst of the Klingon Civil War. They still seem to be allowed to beat each other up and engage in various competitions, though for a Proud Warrior Race this might be largely indistinguishable from a typical Friday night.

The neutral zones in Bionic Commando. They had a very strange concept of what qualifies as violating the truce—namely, firing your gun. This is why a Badd knife soldier can rush you (and do damage or kill you!) without getting a bunch of Neutral Zone guards swarming him. However, this means that you can also slap him around with your bionic arm and throw him in a river to his death without penalty, either. You didn't fire your gun to dispose of him, after all.

In the removed PVP worlds in RuneScape, banks and the player's immediate respawn point functioned as these. Though there was a cooldown time between entering the bank while in combat to avoid abusing them.
RuneScape's sister game/ spinoff DarkScape, being a more PVP-oriented version of the game had three tiers of 'protection'. The Red Zone was lawless, kill or be killed. The Yellow Zone had guards patrolling the border if you had committed a crime (i.e. you were skulled from attacking someone) they would attack you with top-tier spells and equipment. The Green Zone, found in most towns east of the Mountain, made it so that guards were everywhere, discouraging players from committing 'crimes' while in the Green Zone.

The bars in each hub level of Kingpin: Life of Crime are this, although this would have been far more significant had the game been released how the developers originally envisioned it, with multiple gangs fighting over turf and using the bars as places to hire grunts and engage in diplomacy.

The city of Paris in Girl Genius. Ruled by Voltaire (who is a powerful spark in the comic's universe) it is strong enough to avoid being taken over by Baron Wulfenbach (or other sparks) and is a major center for the arts with Voltaire acting as a patron, providing protection and resources as required.

The Champions supplement Neutral Ground. Sanctuary is a club for super-beings with a strict non-violence policy, where superheroes and supervillains can meet without fighting.
The fourth edition setting San Angelo combined this trope with Shrine to the Fallen. One park in the city had memorial statues/plaques for deceased heroes, going back to World War II. The park was accepted by both heroes and villains as a no-fight zone. (Well, most villains — the book's cover art showed an exception in progress.)

Gundam:
Mobile Suit Gundam: Side 6 was a neutral space colony that served as a sanctuary for war refugees, having separated from the Earth Federation and declared neutrality when the One Year War broke out. This didn't last, unfortunately — when it was discovered the Earth Federation had a secret base there, the Principality of Zeon sent the Cyclops Team to Side 6 on a mission that was secretly rigged to fail so Zeon would have an excuse to nuke the space colony.
Ditto Libot Colony in Gundam 0080 as well as Heliopolis and the Orb Union in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED and Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny.
Subverted in Orb's case, since it decides to attempt to stop the war itself in SEED and joins up with The Federation in Destiny.

Early on, Terra to pretty much everyone in BattleTech. If you are invited to Earth, you behave. Doesn't matter how many centuries your grudges have run. If you don't listen, you'll find your entire star-spanning nation with its Subspace Ansible system shut down by the resident communications monopoly, which might as well ring a dinner bell in the cutthroat military-political universe of the setting.
On a lesser scale, there's Solaris VII, the Game World, where fighters from all nationalities come to do battle for glory and prizes. As expected, grudges run deep here as well, but they also do not tolerate unsanctioned fights outside the arenas. Especially not with 'Mechs, which they tend to respond to with large numbers of Assault 'Mechs (what with it being a Lyran world and all). The one time in recent memory that widespread factional riots and 'Mech-scale street battles broke out, it was only because order had already begun to break down outside the borders of Solaris itself.
The Free Rasalhague Republic was founded as one of these, creating a neutral buffer state between the Lyran border of the Federated Commonwealth and the Draconis Combine where citizens and merchants could comingle, but kept its own borders free of either side's military. This arrangement, guaranteed by ComStar, worked as intended for about a decade before the Clans invaded and conquered the whole thing.

The Bridge (MLP):
Supplemental material shows that New Birth Island is this for the war between Terra's kaiju factions. Primarily because its owner, Biollante, has declared herself neutral and will not allow the war to happen on her territory — and since she's in the same power range as her brothers Godzilla and Xenilla, she can easily enforce that rule. However, it’s The Neutral Zone for anyone other than her brothers, Junior and Xen- any other kaiju who sets foot on the island or enters its airspace will be attacked on sight, regardless of their faction.
In the story itself, Princess Celestia declares that if the kaiju of the Terran Defenders and Mutations factions stranded in Equestria want sanctuary until they can find a way home, they're to treat the ponies' whole world as this. Though, this only applies to their groups — Celestia has no problem with them fighting other attacking kaiju.

In the Super Smash Bros. Brawl machinima Smash King, New Pork City serves as this for the tournament. Other teams are capable of challenging each other in any location throughout the world of Brawl except for New Pork, which is designated as a safe zone where people are encouraged to rest up after fighting. By the end of Act II however, Dedede is forced to lock down New Pork for everyone else's safety, due to Ridley reawakening and threatening to destroy it unless Dedede goes along with Ganondorf's plans - something that will further destroy the rest of Brawl due to New Pork being the backbone of the world.

In A Song of Ice and Fire, anyone shedding blood within the Dothraki city of Vaes Dothrak is put to death. Shopkeepers have found a loophole: keep enforcers armed with silk scarves to punish thieves instead - if a person is strangled, no blood is spilt. Stupid Evil Prince Viserys thinks this allows him to threaten the Dothraki without consequence, as no one can harm him. Instead, they break his arms and pour a pot of molten gold over his head.

Everquest has two examples from the Planes Of Power Expansion Pack
The Plane Of Knowledge is a city where no combat is allowed, and everyone is welcome regardless of race, creed, or class. unsurprisingly, it tends to be the most populated zone in the game
The Plane Of Tranquility also doesn't allow any fighting, due to it being ruled by Quellious, the goddess of peace. The place serves as a Hub Level for the expansion, as there are portals to every other plane there.

In Small Favor, "Tiny" Gruff, who stands well over 7 feet tall, announces clearly that he's waiting for Harry to leave the bar before dueling him. Murphy intervenes, saying that, as a Chicago police officer, she can freely shoot anyone who threatens anyone with physical violence in the protection of the city's laws, since Chicago never signed the Accords, and attacking her in turn would violate the Accords since Gruff's people are part of the Accords. "Tiny" Gruff respects her chutzpah and retreats until Harry leaves the city limits. Mac rewarded her with free beer afterwards.

In Suikoden III, Thomas decides to establish Budehuc Castle as a truce zone so that everyone can visit freely, revitalizing the neglected property. Eventually, it becomes the player's home base.
Similarly to Budehuc is Caleria, a border town between Dunan, the Grasslands, and Harmonia. While Harmonia's border forces maintain offices here, their actual jurisdiction is minimal, and the city is widely known as being a cosmopolitan trading stop due to the lack of territorial dispute.

In Fate/stay night, the local Church of the city is designated as a safe haven in the Holy Grail Wars. No one is allowed to attack another while there, and Masters whose Servants have been defeated can go there for protection if he's still to be targeted for his Command Spells. We never once get to see it played straight; the resident priest is the Big Bad in the first route and Caster attacks the church and takes it over in the second.
It held the same status in the prequel, Fate/Zero. And it was played just as straight there: Assassin's Master used it as his base of operations after claiming sanctuary on false grounds.

Men in Black II: This is the reason why the MIB cannot safeguard the Light of Zartha from Serleena, since it would technically break Earth's neutrality, so Kay does so in secret and erases his memory of the incident.

Standard operating procedure in Drowtales: when noble clans feud, they are not supposed to interfere with the economy of Chel or kill civilians or slaves. Thus supposedly, the whole market district, Orthorbbae (a Hogwarts - style elite school), the Black Dragon tavern, etc. are all safe, neutral territory. Needless to say, this rule has gone ignored on a number of occasions, especially by the Ax-Crazy Nidraa'chal clan and the fanatical Kyorl'solenurn clan.

In Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, the Brethren Court is supposed to be one of these. Most of the time, however, it's an uphill struggle to prevent the Pirate-Lords from descending into open brawls with each other.

Coincidence and Misunderstandings has the Eldritch Enclave, a place where any magic user can go and research to their heart's content. Breaking the rules of neutrality and nonviolence (including instigating others) can lead to banishment and being blacklisted as a warlock. Blacklisted magic users are stated to have a life expectancy of months as dictators, corrupt corporate executives, and others know no one will come to help them. Even Doctor Fate makes sure to follow the rules, even if he comes across his archenemy. Which makes Zatanna's continued antagonism of every Chaos-aligned magic user there idiotic in the extreme.

The Wire: Not so much "zone" as "time" with the "Sunday Truce". All beefs are to be put on hold on Sunday mornings to allow anyone in "the game" to take their families to church without risking their lives. Stringer Bell authorizing a hit on Omar while he's taking his grandma to church appalls everyone in the criminal underworld. Even worse, Omar was considering making peace with the Barksdales before the attempt caused him to renew his war against them with an even greater anger than when they killed his lover Brandon by torturing him to death.

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power: Princess Frosta's kingdom is neutral in the war between the Horde and the Rebellion. When she holds a prom, every princess and their plus ones are welcome, even Princess Scorpia and her plus one Catra (both members of the Horde), and Frosta warns Adora that violence is not tolerated. Catra goads Adora into attacking her, leading to Frosta kicking Adora out, but it turns out Scorpia had planted bombs all over the palace and they blow up as part of Catra's plan to distract everyone and capture Adora's friends. For this blatant violation, Frosta eventually decides to end her neutrality and join the Rebellion.

In the Battlestar Galactica miniseries, the Armistice Station was built so that once a year, Human and Cylon representatives could meet. For 40 years, the Cylons sent no one. The day they finally did, they then proceeded to destroy the station, thus committing the first act of war that began the Fall of the Twelve Colonies.
Later episodes explore the backstory a bit more, and reveal that the start of the war wasn't that simple - humans had been spying on Cylons, and the Ones had their own schemes going - the Armistice Station is just where we start following events.

Chapter 3: Parabellum establishes that the High Table can revoke the neutrality of any Continental by declaring them "deconsecrated", which allows for violence to take place on the grounds again. At the climax, the Adjudicator does this to the New York Continental as punishment for John and Winston refusing to turn on each other, opening the way for an attack by the High Table's Elite Mooks. Eventually, after Winston apparently betrays John, the Continental's status is restored.

John Wick:
The Continental Hotel disallows any "business" (i.e. killing people) on its premises, and they will enforce this rule. Viggo tempts Miss Perkins in John Wick into ignoring this by doubling Wick's bounty. It works and she makes an attempt on his life. He stops her and leaves her in the hands of Harry, a different assassin. Who she then kills, while still in the Continental. At the end of the movie, Winston sees to it that Miss Perkins is executed for breaking the rules.
Chapter 2 shows that there are multiple branches of the Continental operating throughout the world, all serving as a neutral hub for criminals. After a brutal fight through the city, Cassian and John (literally) crash through the window of the Rome Continental and are ordered to cease their fight to the death per the hotel's rules. Visibly annoyed, they comply. Much later Santino exploits the rules by essentially promising to simply stay at the hotel to save himself but John shoots him anyway. For this act, John is sentenced to death, but Winston gives him an hour's head start out of respect.

Scion has the Great Henge, an otherworldly realm established as neutral ground where Fate itself enforces truce on all who enter, even the Gods and Titans. Anyone who attempts to engage in violence suffers extreme pain and is knocked unconscious for several hours.
Second edition has New York City. Declared a neutral zone by the young goddess Columbia years ago, it is a city where everyone, even Titanspawn, can go to without fear of attack. It's certainly not foolproof—the book specifically mentions that there's constant divine infighting—but it ended up working out surprisingly well.

Mobile Suit Gundam: Side 6 was a neutral space colony that served as a sanctuary for war refugees, having separated from the Earth Federation and declared neutrality when the One Year War broke out. This didn't last, unfortunately — when it was discovered the Earth Federation had a secret base there, the Principality of Zeon sent the Cyclops Team to Side 6 on a mission that was secretly rigged to fail so Zeon would have an excuse to nuke the space colony.

Constellations: Pawprint Shrine is open to anyone, and there is to be no fighting on the grounds. This is required by the social role of the Miko, demanded by Good Dog, and in extremis, enforced by Amaterasu's lightning.

The New World of Darkness continues the tradition in Vampire: The Requiem, allowing a Prince (or equivalent figure) to declare multiple areas of the city as Elysiums. The Prince of New Orleans uses this as an offensive tactic - his rival unofficially controls the French Quarter, so the Prince keeps declaring parts of it to be Elysium, meaning that every time something bad happens in one of them, his rival loses face for allowing Elysium to be violated.
In Geist: The Sin-Eaters, any krewes or individual Sin-Eaters who have beef with each other are advised to put it away during a Carnival or find a way to solve it non-violently. After all, when you and your rivals all know the trick of coming back from the dead, why bother?
In Changeling: The Lost, any decent Goblin Market enforces this rule with magical oaths and brutish hobgoblins.

On Gor the location of the Sardar Fair is a general place of truce. No fights to the death are allowed, and nobody may be made a slave. However people can sell & buy slaves there; and it is a cultural requirement of all Goreans to visit at least once before their 24th birthday, so many of the slaves available for sale were actually pilgrims making their way to the Fair.

In the original Majesty, every Trauma Inn is one of these, but the in-game effect is minimal except in multiplayer.

In P.C. Hodgell's Chronicles of the Kencyrath, the town of Peshtar is neutral and permits both the caravans that travel through the Blue Pass as well as the brigand bands that prey upon them to enter the city to trade. However, to avoid bloodshed, it permits only one group to enter the town at any one time.

Sekirei: There are several truce zones, usually owned by MBI and used to keep their game of There Can Be Only One running smoothly. Miya strictly enforces a "No Fighting" rule at Izumo Inn, and the savvy villains steer clear of that area.

The "Rubble Mart" in The Guardians - the centre of trade in a ruined city where rival gang members who'd normally cheerfully kill each other tolerate each other's presence. The last time trouble broke out, the mart was shut down until the perpetrator's bodies were delivered to it. Even After the End, trade is an absolute necessity for survival.

Fallen Angel. Furors bar is sort of a safe zone in Bete Noire. The proprietor does not tolerate violence in the bar. Of course, take one step out the door and you'll probably get mugged by Satan.

The eponymous space station Babylon 5 was built specifically to provide one of these, although it didn't turn out too well in practice.

In Vor-Tech: Undercover Conversion Squad, The Hero Hudson Roarke and his older brother Lord Matrix use the park that was their childhood playground as a Truce Zone. In between their battles over technorganic dominance of the Earth, the brothers spend time in the park (while Matrix wears a human-looking hologram disguise). Hudson always tries to bring out his brother's lingering humanity in a bid to save him, and Matrix always denies him while trying to get Hudson to accept his vision of a technorganic paradise.

In West Side Story, the school gymnasium where the dance takes place is neutral ground for the Sharks and Jets as is Doc's Drugstore, where the gangs meet for a war council.

"Pocket D" in City of Heroes is a pan-dimensional no-fire zone open to both heroes and villains; party events are held here as are some quests that allow or require mixed hero/villain teams.
The Midnighter's Club also counts to a lesser extent, as it's basically Cimorea's Lobby. It is one of the two no-combat zones in the game that characters of all alignments can access, however.

Cited in the Law & Order: UK episode "Unloved" (although the person in question does actually call it "the neutral zone"), when the detectives question several gang members about a teenage boy's murder. The guy adamantly denies killing the youth when the detectives mention that he had been on the subway—"The tube is the neutral zone. No one gets touched in the neutral zone."

Star Trek: The Next Generation: In "Redemption: Part II", the capital city of Qo'noS is used as one between supporters of Gowron and supporters of the House of Duras in the midst of the Klingon Civil War. They still seem to be allowed to beat each other up and engage in various competitions, though for a Proud Warrior Race this might be largely indistinguishable from a typical Friday night.
