In order to secure its survival and enhance fundamental development, it is imperative to foster peaceful conditions. Despite the fact that various efforts in this regard have been undertaken in the past, none has addressed the issue in a sustainable manner. It is in this consideration that this paper presents an ideal prescription for peace. Its implementation would certainly address the inherent disparities accordingly and attain lasting peace.

The most profound amongst these are exemplified by the fight for freedom and democracy. Regardless of the fact that such struggles had adverse effects the wellbeing of the populations; they ensured attainment of peaceful conditions. At this juncture, it is worth acknowledging that populations that upheld freedom and democracy are currently economically successful and stable and have worked relentlessly towards eliminating possible discrepancies. In this consideration therefore, promoting freedom and democracy needs to be at the center stage of initiating peace. These should be enhanced at the national and global levels.

It can not be disputed that conflicts and wars have negatively impacted on various facets of the society. Of great concern however has been their spill over effects on future generations. Failure to address these concerns in a timely manner is likely to pass on the burden of the effects associated with the war to the next generation.

This is likely to be compounded by incidences of mistrust especially with regard to the intention of the proponents of the same. To counter this, all parties should be given an equal chance to participate in the initiatives. Furthermore, impartial bodies and personalities can be allowed to spearhead the process. This integrated prescription provides the best procedure for attaining peace as it addresses the fundamental aspects of sustainability that are exemplified by equal involvement of all parties in the process.
