Despite the stability of the Washington Peace Agreement between the PUK and the KDP for over a quarter of a century, the KRI remains at risk of renewed armed conflict. This sustained yet fragile peace has not fostered the necessary conditions for sustainable humanitarian development, nor has it effectively mitigated indirect forms of violence. This chapter, grounded in the theoretical framework of positive peace, critically examines the persistent threat of armed conflict in the KRI, the failure of the existing peace to curb indirect violence, and the essential measures required to establish a durable and comprehensive peace. Drawing on surveys and interviews with political elites, the findings suggest that peace in the KRI is largely sustained through elite-level political agreements rather than through good governance capable of ensuring long-term positive peace. The absence of robust political and legal institutions, combined with a fragmented security apparatus, renders the region susceptible to renewed civil war and perpetuates exposure to structural and indirect forms of violence. To address these systemic vulnerabilities, this chapter advocates for the institutionalization of peace through comprehensive political and legal reforms and the unification of armed forces. Transitioning from a condition of negative peace to one of positive peace is imperative for the KRI to achieve lasting stability and reduce both the likelihood of future civil war and the prevalence of indirect violence.
