Vision
The Hague Peace Projects believes in a world where conflicts between human beings, groups of people and countries are not solved by violence and the law of the jungle, but through dialogue, respect for human rights, and honest cooperation between equals.
Mission
The mission of the Hague Peace Projects is to contribute to peaceful solutions to (armed) conflicts by bringing diaspora groups in the Netherlands from conflict areas together, to contribute to the knowledge of the root causes of conflict and its possible solutions.
By researching, analyzing and clarifying the often complex contexts and realities of (armed) conflicts, the Hague Peace Projects will provide relevant information to decision makers, assist and encourage actors on all levels to take the necessary actions that lead to conflict resolution and eventually peace.
Strategy
The Hague Peace Project cooperates with diaspora communities from conflict areas living in Europe, local journalists and human rights actors living and working in conflict areas. Together with them the Hague Peace Projects does research, publishes reports, does advocacy on different levels, and organizes public campaigns. We pay special attention to cultural and artistic events raising awareness among a wider public of today’s conflicts and everyone’s capacities to contribute to peace.
As of May 2017, the Hague Peace Projects has working groups on and from the following regions and topics: Great Lakes Region, Turkish-Kurdish dialogue, Somalia, Bangladesh, Syria. A Morroccan working group is in the stages of set-up.
