Section C Objectives and activities

March 2012

TAR

Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document

To promote national and international conflict resolution and reconciliation for the public benefit with a view to relieving suffering, poverty and distress and building and maintaining social cohesion and trust within and between communities by 1. Investigating and identifying probable causes of the conflict; 2. Examining probable solutions to the conflict through participatory research into relevant economic and social issues; 3. Mediating with parties to the conflict and others together to discuss such research and possible solutions enabling them to build relationships of trust;
Recommending to the international community and parties involved the measures which, in the Trustees’ opinion, are likely to result in the resolution or prevention of the conflict or the reduction of any humanitarian crisis that may ensue from the conflict;
Publishing reports for the public benefit on the causes and recommended solutions of particular conflicts;
Delivering services which address the charitable needs of those affected by conflict: provided that all activities shall be balanced and shall maintain or enhance the CIO’s commitment to remaining impartial.

In view of the lack of understanding of the real causes behind conflicts, the Trustees will organise Conferences, Debates, Lectures, Research, and Workshops on all aspects of promoting World Peace, especially:

Matters covered or alluded to in the charity’s declared objectives.
Issues at global, international, and national levels such as tensions between communities.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

Relevant factors including economic, social, cultural, religious and spiritual. How do these hinder or support peace? And how does peace, or absence of peace, enhance or diminish public benefit?
Factors relating primarily to women, who are particular victims of conflict but are not properly represented in peace processes and decision making. We will include them at all levels (see the UN Security Council Resolution 1325 of Oct 2000).
Environmental issues where the many threats to our fragile ecosystem are also threats to peace.

In planning these activities the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.
