"Peace is often portrayed as a lofty, almost utopian aspiration. Yet, history [shows consistently, that] peace is fragile and unsustainable when justice is absent. … When justice is compromised, social peace [erodes quickly], giving way to unrest, instability, and cycles of conflict. … It is tempting for governments to frame peace as a security matter—policing, surveillance, or military preparedness. However, peace enforced through coercion is temporary and brittle. True social peace arises from legitimacy, which depends on justice. For this reason, justice is a domestic responsibility that must be prioritized."
