ORGANISATIONS AROUND THE GLOBE WHOSE CORE MISSION IS PEACE
DEFEND OUR JURIES
Juries of 12 randomly selected citizens put the moral intuitions of ordinary people at the heart of the criminal justice system. Over the last few years, when juries have heard evidence of why people have taken direct action to advance climate or racial justice, or to stop genocide in Gaza, they have repeatedly reached not guilty verdicts. These verdicts are deeply embarrassing to the government and the arms and oil industries, contradicting the narrative that the public supports the ‘crackdown on protest’. Lobbyists for the arms and oil industries, such as Policy Exchange, embedded within government, have been working to put a stop to them.
INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF GENOCIDE SCHOLARS
The International Association of Genocide Scholars is a global, interdisciplinary, non-partisan organization that seeks to further research and teaching about the nature, causes, and consequences of genocide, and advance policy studies on genocide prevention.
Quakers are a faith group committed to working for equality and peace.
Genocide Watch exists to predict, prevent, stop, and punish genocide and other forms of mass murder. We seek to raise awareness and influence public policy concerning potential and actual genocide. Our purpose is to build an international movement to prevent and stop genocide.

The Hague Peace projects is a concerted effort to encourage dialogue and provide a platform for the human relations and rights that grow from it.
Dialogue is how we learn and gain appreciation of other perspectives. It is our route to conflict resolution and sustainable peace. We are committed to make room for dialogue in a well-informed and inclusive civil society, so that real non-violent, political, social, and environmental transformation can be achieved.
War and conflict have always been unjust: Diplomatic decisions are made at a political level, but the consequences are felt by the civilian population. Local peacebuilding approaches aims to reverse this dynamic and strengthen peace processes through local activism.

SUMMARY
'If you asked the adult population within the global population of 7,000,000,000 people if they would like to see their children living in peace or fighting for survival the likelihood is that they would agree that peace is the better option. This platform aims to amplify that sentiment, appealing to the global population to recognise the futility of war and the devastating human suffering it creates.'
