About the War & Peace Foundation

Originally founded in 1982 as an anti-nuclear organization, The War and Peace Foundation is an international NGO committed to political and social change. Through lectures, community organizing, book projects, and the circulation of audio and video materials, the foundation is committed to the promotion of world peace through the development of a well-informed public.

The War & Peace Foundation seeks to:

• Hasten an end to militarism, war, and the causes of war;
• Establish and maintain world law through the strengthening of a democratic United Nations;
• Press nations to comply with repeated United Nations and World Court calls for nuclear disarmament;
• Move quickly towards complete disarmament and global verification;
• Hasten the development of a sustainable world- just, free, and secure;
• Further develop the instruments of communication to help achieve these ends.

The War and Peace Foundation is involved with many projects. We also offer a range of internship and volunteer opportunities for individuals interested in getting involved.
