War and peace
In an era of intense conflict, a world at peace can feel like a distant reality.
In our War & Peace section, we dig deep into the root causes of conflict and offer radical solutions to end the cycle of violence engulfing our planet. We analyze the factors exacerbating war, taking in the climate crisis, poverty and the proliferation of arms.
Through frontline reports, we tell the stories of ordinary people caught up in conflict, and explore how human rights defenders are putting their lives on the line to threaten the might of states, corporations and wealth to protect their communities.
Our coverage also analyzes ongoing peacebuilding efforts, examining the role of diplomacy, disarmament projects and grassroots peacebuilding initiatives.
