Created shortly after the outbreak of World War I, The International FOR (IFOR) is an international organization that actively seeks to use positive, nonviolent means to transform unjust social, political, and economic structures throughout the world.

Today, nearly a century after IFOR was created, the need for international cooperation and reconciliation is as important, as ever. Armed conflicts and wars, civil unrest, climate injustice, unfair trade practices, and the continued existence of intolerance, discrimination, and racism threaten the human rights to which we are all entitled.

Inspired by the considerable progress that has already been made, we can and must do more and with your support we can continue to build “Cultures Of Peace” throughout the world

All of our activities revolve around our central belief in the peaceful resolution of conflicts and our dedication to eliminating fear and hatred and the structures from which they result. Our efforts include, but are not limited to: working for disarmament, creating awareness through public education campaigns, training programs and fostering interfaith alliances. We also conduct global education school projects seeking to empower and creatively inspire youth by giving young people the skills they need to become active citizens and young peacemakers.
