Abstract Conflict management and Conflict Resolution have become one of the primary issues pervading world politics after the end of the World War II and especially after the end of the Cold War. Ethnicities have been expressing themselves freely under the newly established democratic systems. After the larger objective of the Nation State and its independence was fulfilled, the internal domestic compulsions led to the outbreak of internal rivalries that fractured communities. Although there are several methods used to bring communities together through the conflict management process like peacekeeping and peacemaking, the peace-building process is what leads us to a longterm solution to the conflict. This paper seeks to understand the significance of the peace-building process and the several alternative efforts made to bring this to fruition. All the efforts can be largely discussed under the paradigm of Restorative Justice.
