Our Big Idea: Internationally

Representation

The International Fellowship of Reconciliation maintains permanent representatives at the United Nations in New York, Geneva, and Vienna who regularly participate in conferences and meetings of UN bodies. Together with War Resisters International, IFOR continues to be concerned with the rights of conscientious objectors. John Kim and Frank Ostrowski were the representatives at the UN in New York in 2009.

IFOR is a founding member of Nonviolent Peaceforce, an international body seeking to develop nonviolent intervention strategies in areas of conflict. IFOR member Eric Bachman is the IFOR representative on their International Council, and is their Treasurer.

IFOR works with the European Centre for Conflict Prevention, and continues to collaborate with the Global Partnership on the Prevention of Armed Conflict.

IFOR is a partner organisation of the Conference of European Churches (CEC), and of War Resisters International (WRI).

IFOR maintains good relationships with Pax Christi International and the International Peace Bureau (IPB).

Working Groups

IFOR has a number of working groups including Youth, Women Peacemakers Programme, UNESCO and more.
