Abstract

One paramount concern facing contemporary humanity, arising from both national and international governance methodologies, is the outbreak of armed conflicts. These conflicts not only infringe upon individuals' right to a peaceful existence but also yield detrimental material and spiritual repercussions. In response to this pressing concern, some intellectuals have embraced a rights-based approach to peace, advocating for its recognition in legal and political discourse as a fundamental human right termed the "right to peace." This right can serve as a cornerstone for all stakeholders, particularly governments, in their domestic and international dealings. Central to this research is the pivotal question regarding the effects and outcomes of adopting a rights-based approach to peace within the realm of governance, as viewed through the lens of international documents and Islamic doctrines. Embracing governance founded on a rights-based approach to peace is anticipated to yield manifold positive consequences. These include the consolidation of sustainable peace, the establishment of security, facilitation of progress and development, s afeguarding of human rights, and the protection of basic freedoms.
