"Peace on Paper, but Justice in Question: The Dilemma of Mass Surrenders in Conflict Zones" As armed groups around the world surrender en masse, the hopes of bringing lasting peace and stability to war-torn regions seem within reach. However, a growing concern is emerging: the lack of justice for victims and perpetrators alike may undermine the very foundations of this fragile peace. When former fighters are reintegrated into society without facing consequences for their actions, it can fuel resentment among communities who have suffered at their hands. The delicate balance between reconciliation and accountability is at the heart of this complex issue, and experts warn that ignoring the need for justice may ultimately lead to a resurgence of violence.
Mass surrenders may weaken armed groups, but reintegration without justice risks fuelling resentment.
