| Nonviolent Peaceforce |
| The Nonviolent Peaceforce aims to save lives by preventing
large outbreaks of violent conflict around the world. NP is a trained,
international civilian nonviolent peace force. It works at the invitation
of local groups to protect human rights and prevent death and destruction,
thus creating the space for local groups to struggle nonviolently,
enter into dialogue, and seek peaceful resolution. NP will deploy
hundreds of peace workers at a time who will engage in interpositioning,
accompaniment, presence, and witnessing. http://www.nonviolentpeaceforce.org/ |

| Peace Brigades International
(PBI) |
Peace Brigades International (PBI) is a non-governmental
organization (NGO) which protects human rights and promotes nonviolent
transformation of conflicts.
When invited, we send teams of volunteers into areas of repression
and conflict. The volunteers accompany human rights defenders, their
organizations and others threatened by political violence. Perpetrators
of human rights abuses usually do not want the world to witness their
actions. The presence of volunteers backed by a support network helps
to deter violence. In this way, we create space for local activists
to work for social justice and human rights.
