Perspectives of Postconflict Engagement as an Essential Mechanism for Global Peace

Summary/Abstract: The post-conflict engagement to secure stable and lasting peace is not a new concept, as historically the hostilities almost never ceased with the end of the war. However, the changing role of international community, the development of human rights, international laws, enhanced by the effects of globalization changed the nature of post-conflict engagement. Today we witness tremendous efforts from the international community to build, sustain, and sometimes even enforce peace throughout the world. There is a growing trend of international responsibility for global security, which initiated the concept of the global response to prevent escalation of violence in the war-torn societies. The post-conflict operations are becoming a doctrinal trend and the future mechanism to guarantee regional and global stability. Their essence is to tackle the roots of the conflict, not its symptoms. If properly applied, such tool is essential for ensuring global reconciliation and stable world peace. Being far from unmistakable in their decisions and actions, the Western democracies have so far demonstrated leadership in pursuing the idea of global peace through post-conflict engagement.
