- Abstract:
More than forty years ago, Robert Johansen (1980) articulated a humanist approach to international relations. He called on scholars and practitioners to pay attention to ethics, arguing that peace, economic well-being, and social and environmental justice must take center stage in global politics. In the spirit of Johansen’s humanist approach, this essay illuminates the role of law in building people’s commitment to peace and values. My reflections draw from research I have conducted in place…

Policy Brief No. 8

Effective participation of women’s organizations in the peace process has resulted in improved access to information, increased technical expertise, more opportunities to lobby and advocate for change, and strengthened implementation of the peace accord.

They generally aim at disbanding rebel wartime structures for the purpose of peace. However, when dealing with rebel groups with a strong command-and-control structure, disrupting ex-combatant communities formed during war has adverse effects on DDR. Cantonment is the temporary …
