United States Institute of Peace

The United States Institute of Peace is an independent, non-partisan federal institution created and funded by the U.S. Congress to strengthen the nation’s capacity to promote the peaceful resolution of international conflict. The main media project is the Virtual Diplomacy Initiative. The mission of the Virtual Diplomacy initiative is to explore the role of information and communications technologies (ICTs) in the conduct of diplomacy, particularly their effect upon international conflict management and resolution. The Initiative’s practical objective is to extract lessons and insights for future training of international affairs specialists, whether in government, international organisations, or the private sector.
