Nonviolent Peaceforce (NP) is a nonpartisan unarmed peacekeeping force composed of trained civilians from around the world. Nonviolent Peaceforce brings together over 60 Member Organisations from five continents and over 100 supporting organisations.

Member Organisations work within their constituencies and communities to enlist support and raise awareness about Nonviolent Peaceforce activities.

Since the International Convening Event of 2002, these organisations elect the International Governance Council to oversee the mission of Nonviolent Peaceforce.

Nonviolent Peaceforce is supported by hundreds of individuals and organisations. Nobel Prize Laureates, peace activists, faith-based communities and many others around the world have endorsed our goals and projects.

Regional offices support our staff. Local Chapters in the USA work locally to support the work of Nonviolent Peaceforce and advocate for the practice of nonviolence where they live.

In 2007, NP acquired special consultative status with ECOSOC (UN).
