In order to maintain peace in a certain region, what are some measures that can be taken by both sides of the conflict?
user
Both sides should commit to dialogue and negotiation in order to resolve the conflict. There should be agreement on basic principles such as recognition of each other’s rights and legitimate interests. Both sides also should provide support for proposals designed to reduce tensions, ease restrictions or otherwise promote interaction and cooperation. Concrete gestures such as releasing prisoners or agreeing to a unilateral cease-fire can all play a part in decreasing hostility. As well as recognizing and validating each others’ histories, experiences, emotions, and perspectives regarding the conflict - all of this can create an environment conducive to sustainable peace.

Both sides in a conflict can maintain peace by taking certain measures. These include deescalating the rhetoric, refraining from violence and threats of violence, encouraging calm and respectful dialogue between communities, and supporting mutual understandings that foster cooperation instead of hostility. Both sides should also take concrete steps such as increasing access to reconciliation services or creating programs for community engagement. Additionally, external mediation should be considered to peacefully resolve differences and address root causes of the conflict.
