About the Organization for World Peace Research division
The Organization for World Peace Research (OWPR) documents and writes reports on various issues that threaten world peace with a focus on those which require international cooperation, arguing for peaceful, non-combative solutions to complex tensions. In this regard, the OWPR seeks to reroute the general thinking that humanitarian crises requires armed military interventions, instead moving this way of thinking towards strategic problem-solving. The OWPR conducts research on current events related to international armed conflict, civil war, and military response from the international community. Published media typically involves data collected about civilian casualties, financial costs, the usage of underage combatants (child soldiers), and information regarding internally displaced people. The goal of our research is to spread awareness of the negative impacts of war as well as the ineffectiveness of combative strategies in dealing with these issues.
