This monograph provides a contemporary analysis of the frictions
between peacemaking and international human rights law based on the
cases of postconflict power-sharing in Lebanon and
Bosnia-Herzegovina. In this context it evaluates the long-standing
debate in the United Nations and human rights bodies about the
'imperfect peace'. Written from a practitioner-scholarly viewpoint
and drawing from new authentic sources, the book describes the
mechanisms used in peace agreements and post-conflict constitutions
for managing ethnic or religious diversity, explains their legal
limits under international human rights law, and provides a
conceptual framework for analysing the nexus between law and
peacemaking. The book argues that the relationship between the
content of peace agreements and post-conflict constitutions, their
negotiation process and the element of time, needs to be untangled
to better understand the legal limits of statebuilding in the
aftermath of armed conflict. It is a key resource for scholars in
human rights law and peace and conflict studies, advisers in peace
processes, constitution-makers, and peace mediators.
