Abstract

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and its wide-ranging devastating effect has reduced the chances of successfully implementing the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, especially in conflict and post-conflict societies. Global resources have to be deployed to find peace and stability across the world's trouble spots if its negative impact on development is to be mitigated. It also calls for a re-thinking of the classical tools for implementing peace processes. COVID-19 has, indeed, brought numerous challenges to the terrain of conflict as well as conflict management imperatives and strategies. It has opened up old cleavages of race, class and economic power and ignited bases of new conflicts over its management and the control of resources. However, it has also opened our eyes to new opportunities for implementing peace processes and enlisting host populations’ support for sustainable peace.
