The lex pacificatoria is a Latin neologism, which translates as 'pacific law' or the 'law of the peacemakers'; it refers to the law relating to agreements or treaties ending a state of war or establishing a permanent peace between belligerents, as articulated by state and non-state peacemakers, such as peace negotiators.
[1] As such, it is a set of normativizing practices, the ‘industry standards’ of peacemakers.
In its relationship with traditional legal doctrines such as the jus ad bellum, it is both incorporated in, and shapes, interpretations of binding legal instruments, and it can also be determinative of, or influence, court judgments.
[5] Lex Pacificatoria is the name of a peace, justice, and human rights podcast hosted by Michael J.
[6] The first episode features an interview with Sean Carleton on Canadian residential school denialism.
