Abstract : The present study investigates the efficacy of several approaches employed in conflict resolution and rebuilding within communities that have experienced violence. Following periods of deadly conflict, the imperative for establishing durable peace becomes paramount for nations. A comprehensive analysis of power-sharing agreements, disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration (DDR) initiatives, transitional justice systems, and grassroots peacebuilding activities is presented in this paper. The report assesses various approaches according to their capacity to tackle the fundamental catalysts of conflict, facilitate reconciliation, and generate enduring stability. This article seeks to offer assistance to policymakers and practitioners in post-conflict situations by conducting a comprehensive literature analysis to analyze the strengths and limits of each strategy.
