ICO believes communities can come together and achieve a peace, based not one group’s views prevailing over another, but by constructing a shared vision for a better future.We are independent, neutral and dedicated to the protection of human rights and giving a voice to those who need it.
We know that peace cannot be imposed from above, and that only communities themselves can determine what peace between them looks like. At the same time, any lasting settlement requires the involvement of political leaders. It also needs equality and respect, if one side is not to be disadvantaged. That is why we work in three ways.
1. We bring Communities together, recognising that solutions are best found through working collectively and building bridges at the grassroots. We offer a place where representatives of divided communities around the world can meet and learn from each other. This exchange enables them to develop practical cross-community solutions at the local level.
2. We tackle inequalities in Societies that can be a driver for conflict. We do this through helping minority and disadvantaged groups to develop social, cultural and political opportunities so that they can be seen as equals. By tackling wealth disparities and providing opportunities for personal and community development through projects that promote greater access to education and employment we can have a positive impact on quality of life and remove key barriers to peace.
3. We support Diplomatic discussions mediating disputes, building trust and providing the space people need to address their issues positively and constructively. By providing a private, open environment for individuals to hold conversations and build trust, we can help people arrive at innovative and practical solution to protracted problems. The aim is to develop workable agreements which will change the status quo and allow the communities to heal together.
