The Interchurch Peace Council (Interkerkelijk Vredesberaad, IKV) is a Dutch peace organization that was founded in 1966 by representatives of nine Christian churches in the Netherlands. The organization became particularly well known from 1977–1983 for its campaigns and numerous demonstrations against the neutron bomb and against the stationing of medium-range nuclear missiles in Central Europe as part of the so-called NATO double decision . In 1981 the IKV played an important role in the planning of the peace demonstration in Bonn's Hofgarten in 1981 , the peace demonstration in Amsterdam in 1981 and the peace demonstration in Brussels in 1981 . The IKV was one of the organizers of the peace demonstration in The Hague on October 29, 1983 ; With around 550,000 participants, it is the largest demonstration in Dutch history. In 2007 the IKV merged with Pax Christi .

The chairman of the IKV was the psychologist and peace researcher Ben ter Veer from 1977 to 1985 .
