More than half of the poor will live in conflict-affected countries worldwide in 2018. This striking fact requires due attention in the years to come. However, peace, justice and prosperity do not materialise overnight, matters of realpolitik and failures need to be factored in. This Guidebook intends to put a human rights lens on international peacebuilding and statebuilding, clarify concepts of human security and resilience, and lead the effort to make human rights an enabler for peaceful and inclusive societies. A team of excellent human rights lawyers and practitioners, as well as inter-disciplinary research institutes contributed to this volume.
