Principle 2: Solidarity.

 

Solidarity: Solidarity acknowledges the interconnected and interdependent nature of today's world, including "solidarity with" and support to those affected by conflict and violence, as well as "solidarity among" those involved in peacemaking. Solidarity is more than simply acting together and recognises the potential for mutual learning and influence and for sharing burdens, risks and resources. The success of peacemaking depends on the contributions of each set of actors. International, regional, national and local actors have common and differentiated responsibility to promote sustainable peace.


- Implications and recommendations -



 Solidarity has not only an individual, but also a social, political and gender dimension. 

• A commitment to solidarity encourages practical support to shared learning across different divides and to enhancing North-South and South-South cooperation. 

Solidarity requires support for all people affected by conflict, including attention to differentiated needs and vulnerabilities based on gender and age, in addition to services for their specific needs. 

Solidarity can be promoted through truth and reconciliation processes and transitional justice. 

Promoting solidarity across socio-political, economic, gender and generational divides is a crucial component of a legitimate, inclusive and just social compact.
