Answer 1

Answer:

Peace and development are two sides of the same coin. One cannot be achieved without another. There can be no peace without sustainable development and no sustainable development without peace. A meaningful life can be attained only through mutual cooperation and understanding. Communal harmony and peaceful life are crucial for the prosperity of a nation. A peaceful society is the basis of a vibrant, happy and prosperous nation. Hence peace is a sine qua non for the overall development of the people and the country. Access to justice and effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels are the prerequisites of a peaceful society. Almost four billion people across the world still lack access to justice. Promotion and protection of basic human rights is a must. Efficient and accountable institutions may lead to inclusive and peaceful societies. Sustainable development can be achieved through the promotion of peaceful and inclusive societies. In 2000, world leaders agreed to launch Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) under the United Nations’ leadership with the main focus on socio-economic issues. MDG expired in 2015. According to former UN secretary general Ban Ki-moon, a lack of accountability is one of the reasons for shortfalls in progress to achieve the MDGs. As the continuation of its objectives, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) was launched in 2015. The goals are contained in UN resolution of September 25, 2015 titled “The Future we want”. SDG has 17 goals and 169 targets covering a broad range of sustainable development issues. It has been enacted with the endorsement by 193 countries during the UN summit in 2015. SDG 2030 has been endorsed as a unified vision to guide the actions of every nation around the world. Nepal now has the opportunity to build effective, accountable, inclusive institutions. Effective national level planning, assessment of resources, development of advocacy, more open to discussion, prioritisation of national goals and recognition and implementation of anti-corruption methods can help in building accountable and inclusive institutions. To achieve peace and stability for development in Nepal through the successful implementation of 16th Goal, good governance, rule of law, access to justice, visionary leadership and hard work of people are crucial.
