In 2021, Ian Lundin and Alex Schneiter from Lundin Oil have been indicted for complicity in grave war crimes in Sudan from 1999 to 2003. PAX has been working on the Lundin case for over a decade. PAX believes that justice for the victims of the civil wars in Sudan and South Sudan is a prerequisite for peace and reconciliation. For justice to be done, it is crucial that all perpetrators and their accomplices are held to account and that those who have benefitted from crimes do not escape their duty to contribute to the victims' right to remedy and reparation.
The Human Security Survey (HSS) is a survey methodology developed by PAX which includes a series of complementary activities, including population-based research, community engagement, and advocacy.
Kuron Peace Village was founded by Bishop Paride Taban to unite the population in the area and set an example of peaceful cohabitation in war-torn South Sudan.
In its work, PAX seeks to advance nonviolence and just peace. Nonviolence responds to violence and injustice through the power of love in action.
The Action Plan for Peace (APP) is the home-grown and Church-led strategy of the South Sudan Council of Churches (SSCC), comprehensively addressing the root causes and long-term effects of conflict through Advocacy, Neutral Forums, Healing and Reconciliation. PAX has worked with the APP since 2018.
At all PAX South Sudan locations, PAX plays movies directed towards youth through means of a mobile cinema.
In South Sudan, peace organization PAX works with several organizations to strengthen women's leadership skills and to raise their participation in political decision-making, peace initiatives, and in handling security issues. This program’s long-term objective is to make women's lives safer and to increase their influence on political decision-making.
PAX aims at empowering the voices of South Sudanese individuals, activists and CSO’s towards peace & justice. This is done via advocacy training, coaching, provision of seed-grants and publications. PAX is linking local and national partners and activists to each other and to a wider national and international platform.
In 2019, the governments of South Sudan and Kenya signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), agreeing to demarcate their common border. In the past, unclarity and contestation about the location of this border has resulted in a disputed area, called the Ilemi Triangle. PAX has done research on the Ilemi Triangle, placing the pastoralist perspective in the context of the border demarcation process.
