Peace Culture and Justice of Peace

Abstract

Working in Justice of Peace implies that a Culture of Peace is built every day. In a short time it becomes clear that working face to face with citizens in a state of vulnerability means letting us be witnesses and becoming protagonists of building peace and maintaining the social peace of the community. Justice of Peace represents the first door of access to Justice that people need (Dra Highton de Nolasco, 2014). Through Justice of Peace, people can find that "just solution" to what they need immediately until they can access Formal Justice (that of Courts), because they do not have money, nor means and in certain times not even knowledge (Dra Elena Highton de Nolasco, 2014). Social Justice and Social Peace are the two concepts that should guide Peace Construction. Since the Second World War, there were many treaties and agreements in which Nations declared to work and build Peace between and within them committing to their compliance. Now the question is: why has Peace not been achieved in the world yet? The commitment from Justice of Peace is to build together with the citizens that Social Peace that is so necessary and clearly possible. (Esteban Ramos,2020)
