                          Welcome to the ministry for peace website

 

ministry for peace is an organisation working for the creation of structures within government, e.g. a Ministry for Peace, to transcend violent conflict,  together with an independent civil society body working alongside it.

To work for peace is to work to transcend violence. The fundamental aim of a Ministry for Peace is to reduce violence, both in the UK and internationally.

We believe that peace is a subject like others, with theories and practices - somewhat like medicine.   This is indicated, for instance, by the fact that there are now 800+ peace research institutes, 15,000 researchers and 450 academic peace studies programmes worldwide.
