Appeal, as for peace (3)

I believe the answer is:

sue

(Other definitions for sue that I've seen before include "Take proceedings against (a person)" , "- - Barker, 19 star" , "Entreat; girl's name (dim.)" , "Start proceedings against (someone)" , "Institute legal proceedings (against someone)" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
