Peacebuilding and Post-Conflict Reconstruction

Peacebuilding and Post-Conflict Reconstruction क्या है?

Peacebuilding encompasses a range of measures implemented in a post-conflict setting to reduce the risk of lapsing or relapsing into conflict by strengthening national capacities for conflict management and laying the foundations for sustainable peace. Post-Conflict Reconstruction specifically focuses on rebuilding the physical infrastructure, institutions, economy, and social fabric of a society after a period of armed conflict.

ऐतिहासिक पृष्ठभूमि

While elements of peacebuilding have existed for decades, the comprehensive approach gained prominence in the 1990s, particularly after the Cold War, with complex UN peacekeeping missions evolving into multi-dimensional operations. The UN Peacebuilding Commission was established in 2005 to coordinate international efforts.
