Abstract
In most post-war situations, large segments of the populations have experienced first hand the horrors of war. The consequent psycho-social impacts are often more harmful than the physical damage and must be addressed in addition to physical reconstruction and humanitarian relief. There are numerous terms describing post-war conditions and objectives. In this paper the concepts psycho-social, peacebuilding and reconciliation are specially addressed. For reconciliation activities to have any meaning, structural issues leading to conflict, such as international policy issues and resource imbalances must also be dealt with. If these factors are not directly addressed by reconciliation initiatives, these will have little impact and might be counter-productive in an unjust environment, says the author.
