Intergenerational equity is a multifaceted construct, yet at its core sits peace, since without peace there can be little equity at the intragenerational level, let alone to transmit to future generations. In conflict and immediate post-conflict situations, the focus is typically on present-day and short-term concerns, such as ceasing the active hostilities and assisting victims. This is understandable, given the need to construct a durable peace in the present before building on that peace for the future. However, peace agreements can be used to advance intergenerational equity as well as intragenerational equity if they are constructed through mechanisms that understand the importance for working toward equity in the future as a way to build consensus for implementing equitable laws and principles in the current day.
