Abstract
The international peace academy (IPA) is an independent, nonpartisan, international institution devoted to the promotion of peaceful and multilateral approaches to the resolution of international as well as internal conflicts. IPA plays a facilitating role in efforts to settle conflicts, providing a middle ground where the option for settling particular conflict are explored and promoted in an informal setting. Other activities of the organization include public forums; training seminars on conflict resolution and peacekeeping; and research and workshops on collective security, regional and internal conflicts, peacemaking, peacekeeping, nonmilitary aspects of security.
In fulfilling its mission, IPA works closely with the United Nation, regional and other organizations, government, and parties to conflict. The work of IPA is further enhanced by its ability to draw on a worldwide network of eminent persons including government leaders, statement, business leader, diplomats, military officers, and scholars. In the decade following the end of the cold war, there has been a general awakening to the enormous potential of peaceful and multilateral approaches to resolving conflicts. This has given renewed impetus to the role of IPA.
IPA is governed by an international broad of directors. Financial support for the work of the organization is provided primarily by philanthropic foundation as well as individual donors.
