ROADMAP OF PEACE: THE POWER OF REPENTANCE AND RESTORATION IN CONFLICT RESOLUTION
Dr Avitus Leonard
Abstract
The goal of justice and fairness often takes centre stage in debates about conflict resolution, which is a complex process. The tremendous impact of repentance and restoration, however, is frequently missed in the middle of this emphasis. The goal of this study is to shed light on the transformative potential that these concepts have when given priority in organizational contexts. It explores the complex dynamics of incorporating repentance and restoration into the structure of conflict resolution procedures by looking at actual situations and relying on theoretical understanding. Through an exploration of case studies and theoretical frameworks, this research elucidates how prioritizing repentance and restoration can lead to more sustainable peace. It highlights the nuanced interplay between empathy, compassion, and reconciliation, emphasizing their pivotal role in resolving conflicts at a deeper level. By embracing these principles, organizations can navigate disputes with greater understanding and empathy, facilitating more holistic resolutions that address underlying tensions and grievances. Furthermore, this study calls for a paradigm shift in conflict resolution processes, pushing stakeholders to acknowledge the transforming power of repentance and restoration. Organizations can promote healing, re-establish trust, and eventually clear the path for lasting harmony by taking a more compassionate and empathic position. Considering reconciliation's ability to spark constructive change and foster long-lasting peace within organizational contexts, this research emphasizes the significance of accepting restoration as the cornerstone of conflict resolution initiatives.
