Does signing a peace agreement truly signal the end of a war?
In short: Experts examine the complex reality of post-conflict recovery, questioning whether formal peace treaties actually resolve deep-seated societal divisions. This discussion explores the difficult path toward healing after deadly violence in regions ranging from Bosnia to Colombia.
Since 1990, more than 1,500 peace agreements have been signed globally, yet the transition from conflict to lasting stability remains fraught with challenges. This conversation, chaired by Jeremy Bowen, brings together conflict psychiatrist Simon Wessely, Senior Advisor Rachel Clogg, and filmmaker Waad Al-Kateab to analyze whether these documents effectively end hostilities or merely pause them.
The panel investigates the mechanisms of peacebuilding in diverse contexts, including Northern Ireland, Liberia, and Nepal. By looking beyond the ink on a page, the participants explore how societies can genuinely move forward after experiencing profound trauma and fragmentation.
