Nonviolent Peaceforce

Nonviolent Peaceforce (NP) is an international non-governmental organization that works to protect civilians and reduce violence in conflict regions. Together with local partner organizations, at whose invitation NP may take action, non-violent methods are used to protect people and organizations at risk of violence and to help reduce violence. In this way, sustainable peace processes are to be made possible or supported. The NP teams consist of trained peace workers and are international.

The Nonviolent Peaceforce has a network of over 65 organizations and individuals who support it around the world. It is based in Ferney-Voltaire, France near Geneva.

The German founding organizations of the NP are the Federation for Social Defense and the forumZFD .
