This chapter has discussed two broad issues that would largely determine the sustainability of the outcome of a peace process similar to the South Sudan one. The two issues are "agreeable terms" of peace and the need to address "human rights violations" committed during the confict. The chapter contends that if parties to the confict in South Sudan embraced these tenets, they would inch closer to achieving sustainable peace.
The chapter has drawn its refections from the manner in which classical wars were fought (primarily by state armies) and ended with parties negotiating agreeable terms of peace that included that entailed the winner (or victor) ensuring the safety and human rights of the vanquished (i.e. acceptable terms of peace), as opposed to the winner annihilating the loser. It is highly recommended that the parties to the South Sudan civil war and other similar wars incorporate these aspects in negotiating an end to their wars.
