ICT4Peace Foundation

ICT4Peace aims to enhance the performance of the international community in crisis management through the application of information Communications Technology (ICT) – technologies that can facilitate effective and sustained communication between peoples, communities and stakeholders involved in crisis management, humanitarian aid and peacebuilding. Crisis management is defined, for the purposes of this process, as civilian and/or military intervention in a crisis that may be a violent or non-violent with the intention of preventing a further escalation of the crisis and facilitating its resolution. This definition covers peace mediation, peace-keeping and peace-building activities of the international community. In bridging the fragmentation between various organisations and activities during different crisis phases, ICT4Peace aims to facilitate a holistic, cohesive and collaborative mechanisms directly in line with Paragraph 36 of the WSIS Tunis Commitment.

I think peace can build up with non violance approch. IT has vast range of activities to do this work. That  will link with right to know information without boundries.

I believe that  unfettered  peace  can be eastablished  with non-violent  approach. But we must know the  root

 cause of violence and try to remove it .

We can empower communities in conflict through ICT by creating people owned community centres call it "TELEPEACE": for Conflict Early Warning and Early Response.
