research and possible solutions enabling them to build relationships of trust; 4. 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; 6. 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.
-
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?
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)
-
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.

Conferences Summary of the main We held a conference on 18 May 2023 on achievements of the charity “Creating World Peace and Sustainability in the Post COVID-19 and during the year post Ukraine Conflict Era”, in partnership with ELITE Innovation College Cambridge, UK and South Asian Development Partnership. We contacted women and children from Ukraine to share their experiences, as well as others to bring reflection and comment. Conference Aims We will explore the prospects for world peace and sustainability in light of the conflict in Ukraine, as we consider - its long term implications for global peace and stability - the linkages between different strands of a strategy for peace - our continuing response to the human suffering and loss there We will use our response to this tragic suffering as a starting point for a wider focus on peace and forming peacemakers, including: * establishing like-minded international partners with the shared peace mission * hearing the voice of children and women and developing young innovators and peacemakers * promoting innovation for peace and sustainability so as to achieve reconciliation * understanding the challenges and impact of climate change in shaping world peace * promoting national and international peaceful conflict resolution
The conference was held in the Houses of Parliament (The Attlee Suite) and attended by 116 diplomats, community leaders, business people, educationists and school children
