Arising out of a feasibility study investigating the possibility of creating a Peace Studies Institute in the University of London, and subsequent years of active educational research, networking and consultancy, everyone interested in advancing peace research in London, the UK, the Commonwealth and internationally is invited to join us. Members are involved in a wide range of educational and research activities in both professional and voluntary capacities in all aspects of peace research. The Institute is unique among centres throughout the world in that it combines practical work in conflict resolution with special attention to the entire range of global philosophical and spiritual traditions and the search for global responsibility and justice in our time. The I.I.P.S.G.P. has access to a vast network of research and information on peace and global responsibility activities worldwide. with our unique library on peace research and global philosophy. The Institute acts as a support structure and information clearinghouse to empower individuals to develop their own research and action projects in the fields of peace and global ethics and works co-operatively alongside many other institutions and professional networks worldwide. .
The Institute produces several publications for its members. "LOVE, JUSTICE AND PEACE: THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PEACE RESEARCH AND GLOBAL PHILOSOPHY" is the only academic journal in the world dedicated to education and research into the positive dynamics of building global peace and justice through love. The journal is structured according to the Nine Muses, the guardians of the Classical Academy; as an academic journal it seeks to restore the lost intellectual and spiritual vision of the interconnectedness of knowledge, spirituality, aesthetics, feeling, and moral and political responsibility that comprise the educational principles of academic life in their ideal form. "THE INTERNATIONAL PEACE AND GLOBAL RESPONSIBILITY NEWSLETTER" includes news of international developments for peace and global responsibility, particularly those involving research and higher education. Other publications include: Multilingual and Multifaith Dictionary of Peace and Philosophy; Ladnun Declaration; Musings.

Other programmes of the Institute include supporting the launch of an ALL PARTY GROUP FOR PEACE AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION in parliament; Poets for Peace: The Order of Wandering Poets for Peace (an international network of poets and bards committed to using their poetic gifts for planetary transformation); The Global Green University (an international network of educators and activists committed to building a peaceful, just, ecologically sane, cooperative and sustainable global society), THE TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION COMMISSION (so far this has dealt with conflict resolution at Stonehenge and issues of Pagan and Druid rights); EUROPEAN PHILOSOPHERS FOR PEACE; the School of Nonviolence.; HISTORIANS FOR PEACE AND JUSTICE; The pagan academic network. Another project of the I.I.P.R.G.P. is to facilitate the establishment in London of an Inter-University Centre for Peace Studies. The main ongoing work of the Institute is to continue playing its part in laying the intellectual, ethical and educational foundations of a sustainable, global civilisation based on peace and justice. Your contribution towards the I.I.P.S.G.P.'s programmes of work is invited and your completed membership application will be warmly welcomed.

The Institute runs the pioneering Multifaith and Multicultural Mediation& Education Service serving in situations of conflict or violence involving a religious or cultural dimension. The MMMS is run as both a consultancy and voluntary effort and is available for situations needing outside intervention to resolve, and tackles disputes ranging from the small to the very large. We also coordinate the Commonwealth Interfaith Common Values Council linking together educators, peace activists, environmentalists, human rights and social development specialists from Commonwealth member countries helping to transform the Commonwealth into a vibrant community of nations bearing witness to a wider world order based on peace and a love for common values and spirituality.

The Institute is also in the process of setting up an International Peace School for 16-19 year olds somewhere in the Welsh Marches.
