Constitutional changes can play a key role in building peace and reconciliation in societies that have experienced violent conflict or authoritarian regimes. Understanding how these changes can promote coexistence and the reconstruction of the social fabric is essential to establishing solid foundations for sustainable peace. An adequate and inclusive constitution can contribute to improving governance and promoting trust in political institutions. The conference aims to provide insights into how to design institutional structures that promote inclusion, participation, and equitable representation, helping to prevent social and political tensions by presenting different study cases.

The conference is organised in collaboration with members of the research project “Constitutions for Peace: The Role of Constitutional Changes in Promoting Coexistence and Social Reconstruction in Societies in Transition”, awarded by International Catalan Institute for Peace (ICIP).
