These goals represent the core aspirations of the international community. Achieving them requires deep cooperation between different academic fields, particularly International Relations (IR) and International Law (IL). Scholars in these disciplines play a vital role in promoting global stability. This study adopts an interdisciplinary approach. It uses analytical, explanatory, and comparative methods to study the distinct yet overlapping roles of IR and IL researchers in maintaining peace. First, we examine the theoretical frameworks of both fields. We then analyze how these experts contribute to policy-making, institution-building, and the implementation of peace regimes. The literature review covers modern theories and studies published between 2018 and 2024. Furthermore, the paper addresses the practical obstacles in peace research and offers directions for future inquiry. Our findings indicate that IR scholars focus primarily on the political, institutional, and structural dimensions of security. In contrast, international lawyers emphasize binding norms, justice, and state accountability. The study concludes that systematic interaction between these two groups strengthens "peace governance" within the international system. This collaboration is essential for preventing the recurrence of global conflict. Finally, we suggest that bridging the gap between theory and practice by using modern data and engaging in active mediation will significantly improve the impact of academic research.</p> https://www.jhrlp.com/index.php/jhrlp/article/download/162/131
