Abstract

Recent conflicts in post-conflict African states have highlighted the need for robust legal frameworks to facilitate reconciliation and sustainable peace. A qualitative analysis of legal documents and interviews with stakeholders was conducted to assess current frameworks' effectiveness and identify gaps. Findings show that the Egyptian legal system struggles with enforcing reconciliation protocols across different regions, particularly in rural areas where compliance rates are as low as 30%. Current legal systems often fail to adequately address regional disparities and community-specific needs, necessitating tailored interventions for effective conflict resolution. Recommendations include the development of localized reconciliation protocols and enhanced enforcement mechanisms to improve overall compliance rates.
