The concept of post-conflict peacebuilding aims at assisting war-torn states and societies to avoid a relapse into armed conflict. To be successful in establishing the conditions for a sustainable peace, the international community may have to interfere with the domestic affairs of the affected country. Taking into account the transformative nature of peacebuilding, it is important that such action always be guided by clear normative standards. Legal certainty and predictability are fundamental cornerstones of any stable post-conflict order.
