The Foundation,
objective & board
1
our objective
Federal state formation is a unique tool for resolving conflicts between peoples and states to create lasting peace. Only where federations were established on the basis of misapplication of the standards of federalism some federations collapsed.
The Federalism for Peace Foundation can support and guide them in this process. With its knowledge in the field of federal state organization and with the implementation of projects to help peoples and states resolve conflicts through federalization, it also supports the peacemaking, peacekeeping and peacebuilding goals of the United Nations.
The Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation. It works independently, on the basis of scientific insights and is not affiliated with any political movement or action group. Contacts with political groups and/or action groups only take place if they are functional in the context of the project-based approach to the possible federalisation of a conflict area.
