When Truth, Mercy, Justice and Peace touch and dance together, the place where they dance is RECONCILIATION (Psalm 85)

Peacebuilding is a active expression of a commitment to non-violence. This is not a passive commitment, but an active transformation for governments, communities and people from a commitment to violence into a commitment to reconciliation and peace.

This not just an achievable goal but a specific mandate for millions.

The articles below explore this mandate and the theory of peacebuilding. PPBI are working on additional resources including audio and video resources.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is Peacebuilding needed?

War is sometimes seen as unavoidable, part of history that will continue to repeat, becoming our future.

Peacebuilding, conflict resolution, trauma healing and restorative justice are techniques that are invaluable to restore communities and nations after armed conflict.

However, employed strategically in areas where needs are identified, these same concepts will avoid war, providing people with a resolution acceptible to all parties and avoiding the situations that lead to armed conflict.

Is Peacebuilding a Pacifist movement?

Peacebuilders recognised that violence does not bring about a better future for those involved or for those receiving the legacy created. Peacebuilders are against violence as a means in society.

However, Peacebuilding is not a pacifist movement. Peacebuilding initiatives are designed to bring reconciliation and lasting peace to nations. This requires much planning and activity and involves all people, including national leaders, grass roots communities and middle level leaders.

Peacebuilders are people working actively for peace in a broken world.

About Peacebuilders International

Peacebuilders International (PBI) has been established to stimulate and support the development of initiatives in Peacebuilding in the countries of the Asia/Pacific region. Peacebuilders International’s ultimate aim is the establishment of a just peace in these countries which is a necessary pre-condition for sustainable development. Sustainable development is necessary to relieve and eradicate poverty.

PBI will recognize and support initiatives that address both short-term or long-term issues as well as the need for long- term change. Both initiatives that aim to bring about long-term transformation of society by addressing root causes of poverty and conflict, as well as initiatives that will contribute to post-conflict relief and recovery, will be fostered and supported by PBI.

The main work and influence of PBI will be in the countries of the South-West Pacific and South East Asia. All training and resourcing will lead to mobilization and action in the countries of trainees and stakeholding bodies, and initiatives must therefore be culturally and contextually appropriate. Accordingly the work of PBI will be responsive to need, without discrimination by any other criterion.
