How is minority representation handled in most peace settlements?
Minority inclusion is also an essential component of conflict management and multi-ethnic accommodation in those societies where disputes over communal difference have, or have the capacity to, turn into violent conflict. Most peace settlements pay particular focus on how representative bodies are elected and who shares in executive and legislative power. The inclusion of minorities in representative bodies is a necessary, if not sufficient, condition of conflict prevention and longer term conflict management. There is not a single case of peaceful and democratic conflict avoidance in which the minority community is excluded from legislative representation.
