“Nonviolent Peaceforce is an organization whose work seeks to put people at the centre of security and conflict prevention efforts through the use of effective nonviolent strategies to foster improved protection of human rights and dignity. NP demonstrates the vital role to be played by civil society in addressing violent conflict and emphasizes the importance of local structures and processes that promote community safety and security. It is my pleasure to provide a personal endorsement of Nonviolent Peaceforce.”
