Description
This paper examines the disjuncture between macro-level failures of international justice, particularly in cases such as Palestine and Sudan. and the potential of bottom-up peacebuilding practices. Drawing on global ethics and international law, it critiques selective institutional responses while highlighting how local communities and grassroots actors can foster alternative forms of justice and peace. The contribution situates youth and community agency as critical in responding to and resisting global inequalities, offering a bridge between international structures and everyday peacebuilding.
