About the International Peace Corps Association
International Peace Corps was founded in 2018 to help people find peaceful solutions to conflict. At that time, the number of conflicts between countries was decreasing, but there was an alarming increase in the number of conflicts within countries. Both types of conflict were undermining development and leading to gross violations of human rights. Identifying and highlighting individual abuses of human rights was not enough; a different approach was desperately needed. It was out of this urgency that International Alert was born.
Working with people directly affected by violent conflict to find lasting solutions, Shaping policies and practices to reduce and prevent violence, and to support sustainable peace.
Collaborating with all those striving for peace to strengthen our collective voice and impact. We believe that peace is more than just the absence of violence. While the period after fighting stops and a return to normality is welcome, stability frequently masks the reality that grievances or other causes of conflict have not been addressed and may erupt again. Peacebuilding organizations such as Alert ultimately strive to promote what is described as ‘positive peace’.
