Abstract:

Since from millennium development goals 2015 to sustainable development goals 2030 all the states of the world are targeting to achieve the most central and fundamental global development frameworks, based on the peaceful and inclusive societies. Peaceful and inclusive societies play a crucial role in promoting sustainable development, social harmony, and the well-being of individuals. They are fundamental to attaining long-term sustainable growth, social advancement, and an improved quality of life for everyone in the community.

Peaceful and inclusive societies offer a ground of social cohesion with fair access to resources and uphold human right, both needs to go hand in hand for sustainable development. There are several mechanisms for promoting peaceful and inclusive societies like inclusive and transparent governance, social safety nets and welfare schemes, economic-policies, technological innovations, international cooperations, public participation etc but the most vital are Rule of law and legal system. The author is of firm belief that a fair and accessible legal system is the end to all problems which hinders the path of sustainable development. This system implies that equality before the law applies to all people, regardless of their social status; by enforcing anti-discrimination laws, protecting human rights, and providing access to justice for everybody, a legal system fosters equity and stability, and in the present digital era the author is of firm belief that along with the other resources which aids in claiming justice, strong and robust forensic law would augment acceleration to the judicial system in achieving the sustainable goal towards access to justice for inclusive society.
