The quest for a world anchored in ethics, peace, justice,
and human development remains both urgent and complex. This research examines
the interconnections between these four values, highlighting how they mutually
reinforce one another and shape pathways toward sustainable and inclusive human
flourishing. Despite their importance, progress is hindered by persistent
challenges such as unethical governance and business practices, conflict,
corruption, global inequality, and weak institutions, all of which obstruct the
achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 16 and broader human development
objectives. The study employs a systematic, multidisciplinary approach, drawing
on ethics, peacebuilding, and development studies. Through qualitative content
analysis of academic literature, global reports, and case studies, it evaluates
existing frameworks and practices while proposing innovative, integrative
strategies. By synthesising theoretical insights from deontological and
utilitarian ethics, social contract theory, peacebuilding models, and human
development theory, the research provides a holistic framework that links
ethical behaviour with peace, justice, and development outcomes. The analysis
demonstrates that unethical practices create ripple effects that undermine
peace, erode justice, and hinder human development, while justice and ethical
governance strengthen institutional resilience and foster sustainable peace.
Achieving ethics, peace, justice, and human development requires collaborative,
multi-level strategies that integrate policy reform, education, technological
innovation, and inclusive governance. The research offers actionable pathways
for policymakers, organisations, and civil society, contributing to both
academic debate and practical interventions toward a more just, peaceful, and
prosperous world.
