Reconciliation is a deeply complex process, which has gained increasing prominence on the agenda of post-violence peacebuilding. Yet reconciliation remains a contested and highly context-specific notion. Together with the Kofi Annan Foundation and with support of the Government of Finland and the Robert Bosch Stiftung, Interpeace developed a report entitled – Challenging the Conventional: Making Post-Violence Reconciliation Succeed, addressing the design and implementation of reconciliation processes, based on studies in Guatemala, Northern Ireland, DRC and South Africa. This report argues that reconciliation requires a tailor-made approach and lasting attention from all segments of society.
