| Abstract: |
World peace represents the ideal state of global harmony characterized by the absence of violence, conflict, and hostility among nations. In the contemporary era, achieving sustainable peace faces unprecedented challenges including terrorism, nuclear proliferation, climate change, and economic disparities. This study aims to examine the multidimensional aspects of world peace, analyze contemporary global challenges threatening peaceful coexistence, evaluate the effectiveness of international peacekeeping mechanisms, and propose sustainable strategies for conflict resolution.
The research employs a descriptive–analytical design utilizing secondary data from United Nations databases, World Bank reports, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, and the Institute for Economics and Peace. Data analysis includes comparative assessments of peace indices across nations and statistical examinations of conflict trends. Contemporary global challenges significantly impede the attainment of world peace, and strengthened multilateral cooperation can enhance peaceful international relations.
Findings reveal that armed conflicts have increased by 18% since 2010, with 56 state-based conflicts recorded in 2022. The Global Peace Index indicates declining peace levels worldwide, with the economic costs of violence reaching $17.5 trillion. Achieving world peace requires comprehensive approaches integrating diplomatic engagement, economic development, environmental cooperation, and strengthened international institutions. |
