Abstract
Peace processes are essentially a third-party creation. On the part of the parties, a mutually ‘hurting stalemate’ paves a way out of the conflict processes with every need for help (facilitation) from outside themselves. Principles of obligation during the escalation of conflict in 2008 — in the aftermath of the rejection of the memorandum for self-determination via diplomatic negotiation of the Moro ancestral domain — made it imperative to seek consensus to achieve transformation through acceptance.1 Although immediate peace must precede justice, peace is also a precondition for justice. That is why the very notion and discussion of global justice have entered the new vocabulary of terms in the politics of investing in ‘peace’ as it relates to humanitarian intervention in the interests of human security for internally displaced persons. This has much bearing on development aid leverage (as a form of pre-conflict pressure) before any international support for interventionist approaches can take place as a dimension of the responsibility to protect (R2P).2 The broad issue is the overall impact of a sustained aid effort or leverage incentive in response to conflict-ridden processes and non-trivial corrective policies. (We return to this in the later part of the chapter.) Legitimacy has entailed building a creative Government-Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) negotiation process architecture by articulating the R2P advocacy.
