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 membres 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).

Conference subject
This conference delves into the constitutional entrenchment of peace as both a fundamental value and a guiding policy principle. While some constitutions explicitly renounce war or incorporate "peace clauses" articulating a state's commitment to peaceful conflict resolution and international cooperation, others lack such explicit provisions. In these latter cases, one should examine whether constitutional frameworks nonetheless impose restrictions on the use of force in foreign and defense policy, or establish affirmative obligations to foster peaceful relations. Furthermore, how do constitutions address internal peace, specifically concerning—but also extending beyond—principles of human dignity, equality, and the rule of law?
