Message from the ICO Secretary General
Intra-state conflict has seen a resurgence since the end of the Cold war, leading to the deaths of over 25 million people globally and the displacement of many more. Internal conflicts have catastrophic consequences socially, culturally, economically and environmentally. The reasons behind these conflicts are even more complex than their impact. Research in the field of Peace & Conflict demonstrate however that by offering resources and peaceful channels, negotiation, mediation, advocacy can lead to compromises that diminish the recourse to violence. ICO aims to give a platform to aggrieved parties, inspiring communities to take charge of their own futures and empowering them to do so peacefully. By representing oppressed minorities, those who feel their country has failed to represent them, we hope their voices can lead to change. Together, international organisations, national governments, civil society organisations and ordinary people alike, we reduce the devasting impact of conflict for the sake of future generations.
James Holmes, ICO Secretary General
