Programmes

Protection of Civilians

With our partners we work to achieve better protection of civilians by engaging with communities, authorities, and institutions – from the grassroots level to the international – to raise awareness, address harm from conflict, operationalize practical policy changes, and develop shared approaches to people-centred security concerns.

Protection of Civilians

Business, Conflict & Human Rights

In conflict-affected areas, companies run a high risk of becoming involved in severe human rights violations. PAX investigates and exposes corporate abuses in conflict-affected areas, stands by victims in their struggle for justice and remedy and advocates for effective norms, policies and standards on responsible business conduct and corporate accountability.

Sullam: building a stronger movement for change in Syria 

Nonviolence has a long history in Syria that predates the 2011 uprising. Since 2003 we support young nonviolent activists in Syria with trainings, coaching, scholarships and direct financial support.

Inclusive Peacebuilding

Landmines

Antipersonnel mines are munitions designed to explode from the presence, proximity, or contact of a person. They do not differentiate between military personnel and civilians and remain a lingering risk for civilians long after a conflict has ended. Antipersonnel mines should never, under any circumstance, be used by anyone.

Humanitarian Disarmament

Climate, Environment & Conflict

PAX works to address the links between climate, environment and conflict through research, advocacy, and local partnerships, promoting resilience and peace.

Transformative Justice in Ninewa 

With the Transformative Justice program, we support victims and survivors of human rights abuses to participate in inclusive, community-based justice processes - such as women, youth, and minorities - and local organizations, we empower victims to advocate for their rights.
