Peace committee

A peace committee is an association of persons who support peace in a situation of conflict. Many such groups have existed. Some are associations of concerned persons; some are propaganda fronts for national, sectional, or sectarian interests; others are devoted to disputes within organizations. This is a very incomplete list:

International committees

National and local committees

  • East Pakistan Central Peace Committee, a group opposed to the rebellion that resulted in the independence war of East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) in 1971
  • Australian Peace Committee,[1] "aimed at promoting disarmament, human rights, justice, development and peace"
  • Committee for a Just Peace in Israel and Palestine,[2] advancing "the cause of peace and justice for both Palestinians and Israelis"
  • Comité Pro Paz, an interreligious group founded in Chile in 1973 to oppose the Pinochet regime's human rights abuses; gave way to the Vicariate of Solidarity in 1976

Intra-organizational committees

gollark: Do they have regression testing or something to detect if an update breaks a package?
gollark: Yes, I checked on the website and it exists?
gollark: Wait, it *has* that?
gollark: Well, osmarks.tk has more exotic software like "miniflux".
gollark: The Void repos are good but not THAT good.
