This article discusses Human Rights (HAM) as a Foundation for Peace according to Pacem in Terris, an encyclical made by Pope John XXIII. This encyclical emphasizes that real peace can only be achieved through respect for human dignity and rights, which is the main basis for building a just social order. This study applies qualitative methods with a descriptive-analytical approach to investigate the concepts of human rights and peace in both global and local contexts, especially in Indonesia. The main source of this research is the text Pacem in Terris, which is analyzed to understand the relationship between human rights and peace, as well as its relevance in facing modern challenges such as social injustice and conflict. In addition, this study also involves interviews with religious figures, human rights activists and academics to deepen understanding of the implementation of Pacem in Terris principles in diverse societies. The findings of this research confirm that respect for human rights, as described in Pacem in Terris, plays a crucial role in realizing sustainable peace. This article also offers suggestions to the government, Church and society to be more proactive in prioritizing human rights as a foundation for peace, both at the domestic and global levels.
