You stand in front of a cross­road. Go left and you‘ll sup­port the use of mili­tary force to pre­vent civi­li­ans from death in the con­flict. Go right and you‘ll choose to refrain from the use of vio­lence, while sup­por­ting other actions that can save lives. What will you choose? Com­pli­cated issues such as peace and con­flict rar­ely have simple answers. In the Nor­we­gian Peace Coun­cil we know that there are many paths that leads to peace. It is the sum of these roads that create a vibrant and color­ful, rich peace move­ment. The­re­fore, we are com­mit­ted to be a place of peace where dif­fe­rent choi­ces can be discus­sed and where the peacework of tomor­row take shape.

As an active voice in the peace debate, we take the ini­tia­tive to strengt­hen peace orga­niza­tions’ pos­si­bi­lities for coope­ra­tion and the abi­lity to influ­ence poli­ti­cal proces­ses. The Nor­we­gian Peace Coun­cil is a lead­ing force in the work of dis­ar­ma­ment, con­flict reso­lu­tion and peace buil­ding. We want to pro­mote inno­va­tive civil and non-violent alter­na­ti­ves to the use of mili­tary force. For over 60 years we have wor­ked to pro­mote peace efforts in Nor­way. Today we have over 20 mem­ber orga­niza­tions that toget­her con­sti­tute the back­bone of the Nor­we­gian peace movement.

We know that it will work!
Give more strength and per­s­pec­tive to your work towards peace.
Let your orga­niza­tion be a mem­ber of the Nor­we­gian Peace Council.
