Human security initiative for "ensions reduction, reconciliation and rehabilitation in the Solomon Islands

Ensuring human security is particularly important in the Solomon Islands, due to lingering causes of ethnic conflict or “tensions”, pervasive political manipulation, social fragmentation, chronic poverty, and lack of basic social facilities in many areas. The situation of former militants/combatants has not yet been adequately addressed. This joint UN initiative shall specifically focus on (i) empowering both ex-combatants and affected communities through improving local governance and community participation, and (ii) successful post-conflict recovery of affected communities through promoting human security and co-existence, with a view to preventing a recurrence of violent “tensions” in future.
