The United States Institute of Peace was established to promote
research, policy analysis, education, and training on international
peace and conflict resolution.
The United States Institute of Peace is an independent Federal
institution created and funded by Congress to develop and disseminate
knowledge about international peace and conflict resolution. The
Institute addresses this mandate in three principal ways:
--by expanding basic and applied knowledge about the origins,
nature, and processes of peace and war, encompassing the widest spectrum
of approaches and insights;
--by disseminating this knowledge to officials, policymakers,
diplomats, and others engaged in efforts to promote international peace;
and
--by supporting education and training programs and providing
information for secondary and university-level teachers and students and
the general public.

on issues of international peace and the management of international

significance.
