An ICIP delegation, consisting of ICIP president Xavier Masllorens, director Tica Font and program technician Maria Fanlo, has traveled to Bern (Switzerland) to meet with leaders of the peace research center swisspeace. The purpose of the visit is to obtain first-hand knowledge about how the center is run, exchange experiences and explore possible avenues for collaboration in the future. In 2017, the Institute established similar contacts with two international peace centers to promote the internationalization process: SIPRI, based in Sweden, and the Flemish Peace Institute, based in Belgium.
swisspeace is currently working on two issues that are of interest to ICIP, according to the new ICIP Work Objectives for 2022 approved by the Board of Governors: Dealing with the Past and Business & Peace. ICIP is working on these issues in the respective action programs Peacebuilding and the development of coexistence after periods of violence and Business, conflicts and human rights.
