International Peace Institute

The International Peace Institute (IPI, formerly the International Peace Academy) is an independent non-profit think tank founded in 1970 based in New York. The institute has a regional office in the Middle East (Manama, Bahrain) and had a regional office in Europe (Vienna, Austria) until 2020.

IPI specializes in multilateral approaches to peace and security issues, working closely with the United Nations system and its member states. Areas of focus include peace operations; peace, climate, and sustainable development; women, peace, and security; and human rights and humanitarian affairs.

IPI states that it produces “evidence-based analysis and practical policy recommendations to inform debate and guide decision making on complex and emerging issues;” that it “engages policy- and decision-makers from the United Nations System, member states, regional organizations, civil society, and the private sector through candid discussion;” and that it “provides innovative and strategic advice on multilateral processes to these partners to help them develop and implement achievable and sustainable solutions.”

As of May 2024, IPI has a staff of approximately 38. Since March 2021, Zeid bin Ra'ad Al Hussein has been the President and CEO of IPI with Adam Lupel as Vice President and COO. Provided by Wikipedia
