“It is important to see peace building as a process rather than a goal and not to view it from the perspective of achieving a ‘negative peace’- that is, the ending of armed conflict. Rather it should be understood, from the perspective of a ‘positive’ and sustainable peace that ensures security as well as socio-economic, structural, political and cultural stability, and that reduces the likelihood of relapse into or the continuation of violence” (Chimni, 2003; Lily 2004)
