International Institute for Peace
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The International Institute For Peace (IIP) was established in Vienna, Austria, in 1956 to conduct research on peace and promote the peaceful resolution of conflict. Operating globally alongside organizations like the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations (ECOSOC) and United Nations Organization for Education, Science, Culture and Communication (UNESCO), the IIP implements peaceful practices across nations.
The International Institute for Peace was founded in Vienna in 1956.[1] In 1989, Erwin Lanc re-founded the institute as a non-governmental organization and introduced new statutes. Since 1989, the IIP has been, according to Austrian Law, independent of the state. It has consultative status at the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations (ECOSOC) and the United Nations Organization for Education, Science, Culture, and Communication (UNESCO). The current president is Dr. Hannes Swoboda.[1][2]
