Common security, conflict resolution and war prevention
Human security, peace and sustainable development cannot be achieved primarily through military means, or independently by nations, but require international law, diplomacy and disarmament.
Prevent (Nuclear) War
Our vision is the peaceful resolution of international conflicts, prevention of war and achievement of a nuclear weapons-free-world.
The Path to Peace
We are working toward United Nations’ goal to prevent war, resolve conflicts peacefully, achieve security without reliance on the threat or use of force.
Strong Partnerships
We work closely with our partners from all over the world, across projects and initiatives.
Current Projects
Climate – Nuclear Disarmament Nexus
This programme highlights the connections between the climate crisis and the threat from nuclear weapons, advances policy solutions to address both issues, and builds cooperation between legislators, experts and civil society movements working on these two issues.
Move the Nuclear Weapons Money
Move the Nuclear Weapons Money is a project and international campaign to: cut nuclear weapons budgets; encourage and facilitate divestment from companies manufacturing nuclear weapons and their delivery systems; and reallocate these budgets and investments to meet economic, social and environmental need – such as ending poverty, protecting the climate, supporting renewable energy, creating jobs, and providing adequate healthcare, housing and education for all.
UNFOLD ZERO
UNFOLD ZERO is a platform for United Nations (UN) focused initiatives and actions for the achievement of a nuclear weapons free world. The platform aims to unfold the path to zero nuclear weapons through effective steps and measures facilitated by the UN General Assembly, UN Security Council, UN Secretary-General and other UN bodies.
PACEY Award: Enganging youth
The PACEY Award is an annual prize plus organizational support for innovative youth projects on peace, nuclear abolition and/or climate action, organised by the Basel Peace Office, Youth Fusion and WFC.

The Bread Tank
In 2011 global military spending amounted to $1.74 trillion – despite the fact that 1 billion people suffer from hunger, still more have no access to safe water or adequate health care and education. Disarmament is a necessary condition for sustainable development. At Rio+20 in June 2012 we presented a bread tank to underline the realistic possibility of eradicating hunger and extreme poverty by redirecting military spending. Watch our film and follow the bread tank on its journey through Rio!
