Abstract
The article engages in a comparative analysis of the Liberian Disarmament, Demobilisation, Rehabilitation and Reintegration (DDRR) programme and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) to assess their short-term and long-term contributions to Liberia’s peace process. Against this backdrop, the article draws on qualitative and archival research methods to analyse perceptions of peace in Liberia. The article demonstrates that the lack of social cohesion following DDRR, and deprioritisation of justice resulting from the limited implementation of the TRC’s recommendations are culminating in a precarious peace process that lacks long-term durability.
