"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.

Mass surrenders may weaken armed groups, but reintegration without justice risks fuelling resentment.
