Key elements include addressing root causes, strengthening institutions, promoting reconciliation, and supporting economic recovery. The period &#8220;from 1980s onwards&#8221; marks a shift towards these multi-dimensional approaches.<br \/>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"pyq-additional-information\">\nStatement 1: &#8220;To resolve underlying disputes between the belligerents&#8221;. While creating an environment for dispute resolution is part of peacebuilding, direct &#8216;resolution&#8217; is often the goal of conflict resolution or peacemaking, which precedes or runs parallel to peacebuilding. Peacebuilding focuses more on transforming relationships and strengthening capacities to *manage* future disputes peacefully by addressing root causes. This statement might be considered a goal supported by peacebuilding rather than its direct essence.<br \/>\nStatement 2: &#8220;To monitor arms control agreements&#8221;. This can be a component, especially in the context of disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration (DDR) programs, which are integral to post-conflict peacebuilding. It contributes to creating a secure environment.<br \/>\nStatement 3: &#8220;Providing development assistance to maintain peace&#8221;. This is a crucial aspect of peacebuilding, as economic revitalisation, poverty reduction, and equitable development are seen as essential for addressing root causes of conflict and building a sustainable peace.<br \/>\nConsidering the options, and acknowledging the complexities of the term &#8220;essence&#8221;, Option D which includes development assistance (a widely accepted core element) and arms control monitoring (relevant, especially in the form of DDR-related monitoring), is presented as the correct answer in some contexts. The exclusion of &#8220;resolving underlying disputes&#8221; (Statement 1) from options combined with 3 is problematic, as addressing root causes\/disputes is fundamental. However, if forced to choose based on typical interpretations in exams like UPSC, Statement 3 is definitely key, and Statement 2 (interpreted broadly to include post-conflict security arrangements like DDR monitoring) could be deemed more central than Statement 1 (interpreted as direct dispute resolution).<br \/>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which of the following was\/were the essence of the peace-building efforts of the United Nations from 1980s onwards? 1.
