Theory Meets Practice:

PeaceNonviolent force

Deepening Our Understanding

Mel DuncanExecutive Director

Tim WallisCo-Chair

Claudia SamayoaCo-Chair

Dear Friends,In 2004 reality intersected with theory as our team in Sri Lanka completed the first year in the field. We deepened our understanding of nonviolent peacekeeping as Nonviolent Peaceforce (NP) team members accompanied mothers as they retrieved child soldiers, provided presence in villages vulnerable to a�ack, monitored elections, created space for people to come together and dialogue, and most importantly, built the relationships and trust so necessary for peacekeeping.

Because of this ground work, the teams were well positioned to provide service a�er the tsunami hit on 26 December. We were able to work quickly and decisively to account for our team, provide them with medical and social support, communicate with the larger Nonviolent Peaceforce community, and adapt our mandate to fit the crisis. We regret that Kathy Orovwigho was injured when the wave hit and Frank Mackay Anim-Appiah suffered a heart a�ack three days later, but are happy to report that both are recovering and Frank has returned to his peacekeeping duties.

We also conducted in-depth assessments in the Phillipines, Uganda/Sudan, Israel/Palestine and Colombia/ Ecuador. Our regional coordinators were busy organizing supportive individuals and NGOs across the globe.

We have an exciting few months ahead in 2005 as the second wave of professional peacekeepers arrives in Sri Lanka shortly, bringing our Field Team Staff to 25 in four locations. Many NP representatives have been involved in planning and will participate in the UN-

supported Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict (GPPAC) Conference in New York in July. We will present an official conference workshop on unarmed civilian peacekeeping and participate in various working groups with the goal of enhancing conflict-prevention work between civil society organizations, the UN, governments and regional organizations.

We will review proposals for additional peacekeeping projects at our Annual Meeting in Guatemala in August. The areas currently under consideration are Uganda and southern Sudan; Mindanao in the Philippines; Colombia; Burma/Myanmar, Korea; and Israel and Palestine. We will also review a proposal for a Rapid Response Corps (RRC). RRC development would create a pool of well-trained NP reserves in every region who could respond effectively, within

one month or less, to urgent local requests for unarmed civilian peacekeepers and also provide an “early response” to interface with “early warning” monitoring already developed by other organizations.

We are sincerely grateful to the Member Organizations, foundations, governments, faith communities, and individuals who donate their time and money to make Nonviolent

Peaceforce possible. Building a large-scale international civilian unarmed peacekeeping force takes patience and discipline. We ask for your continued moral and financial support.

With Gratitude,

Nonviolent Peaceforce

Nonviolent Peaceforce is a nonpartisan unarmed peacekeeping force composed of well trained civilians from around the world. In partnership with local groups, professional Nonviolent Peaceforce members apply proven nonviolent strategies to protect human rights, deter violence, and help create space for local peacemakers to carry out their work.

Our vision is to create a large-scale nonviolent peaceforce through the development of our pilot project and additional models, rigorous review and reflection of this work, public education, training and advocacy.

Background

NP is a laboratory of global cooperation. Conceived in 1999 at the Hague Appeal for Peace and born at the convening event in India in 2002, NP is a federation of 93 Member Organizations from around the world. Member Organizations elect the 15-member NP International Governance Council (IGC) members, who represent 12 countries in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, North America, and the Middle East.

The staff of more than 50 professionals comes from 19 countries. The hundreds of volunteers include a�orneys, educators, activists, politicians, bankers, journalists, and medical professionals, among others. Eight Nobel Peace Laureates endorse NP.

2004 HighlightsIn 2004 we worked together to

• Encourage growth of civil society in Sri Lanka in four communities threatened by violence by providing safety and passage to high-risk civilians; by contributing, as election observers, to the most peaceful Sri Lankan elections in many years; by limiting civilian casualties during a ba�le between two Tamil Tiger factions; by ensuring equitable distribution of tsunami relief; and by facilitating the release, protection, and reintegration of child soldiers.

• Recruit a second team of peacekeepers for Sri Lanka.

• Participate actively in the UN-supported Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict (GPPAC) planning process in North America, Europe, Asia and Latin America.

• Establish the foundation for regional workshops on nonviolent civilian peacekeeping.

• Conduct exploratory missions to northern Uganda and Mindanao, Philippines, to investigate with local peace-making organizations potential projects in those regions.

• Place a temporary representative in Israel-Palestine to pursue opportunities for nonviolent peacekeeping there.

• Create and distribute a 12-minute video/DVD describing our work in Sri Lanka.

Plans for 2005 include:

• Adding peacekeepers in Sri Lanka and expanding our capacity to help deter violence and promote sustainable, peaceful communities there

• Broadening our visibility in the international arena including strong representation at the GPPAC Conference at the UN in July.

• Determining and developing a peacekeeping project in one or more regions experiencing violent conflict.

International

Nonviolent Peaceforce is one of just a few NGOs specifi cally highlighted in the Global Action Agenda. This Agenda includes many recommendations supporting the NP mission in a variety of situations and calls for concrete political, fi nancial and structural mechanisms to support such work.

Responding to a call by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan for civil society to become more active in confl ict prevention, NP became actively involved with the Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Confl ict (GPPAC) in 2004.

Worldwide, governments and society are accustomed to relying on armed intervention as a response to violent confl ict, whether or not it is eff ective. NP is challenged with building partnerships—political, structural, operational and fi nancial—with the United Nations, governments, and other international nongovernmental organizations working in confl ict areas, to create a new path: unarmed methods of international intervention to protect lives and human rights.

NP IGC members from Africa, Asia, Latin America, Europe and North America, other representatives of many Member Organizations, and staff including Strategic Liaison Director David Grant, Program Director Christine Schweitzer, and North America and Latin America Regional Coordinators Joan Bernstein and Alvaro Ramirez-Durini, became active participants in about half of GPPAC’s 15 world regions, in several cases becoming members of regional GPPAC steering commi� ees, and/or being the lead regional convening organization. The regions focused on developing Regional Action Agendas for the prevention of armed confl ict. All of these advocates will participate in the UN-supported GPPAC Conference in New York July 19-21, 2005, which will focus on developing specifi c ways to implement the Global Action Agenda (as developed from the 15 Regional Action Agendas).

3. Civil society roles in prevention and peacebuilding

… CSOs have a broad range of roles from relief and development, to local confl ict resolution, to advocacy and civic engagement, to nonviolent accompaniment…. In general, the independence of CSOs gives them the freedom to act swiftly and fl exibly, including when offi cial actors are immobilized….. They can be effective in creating safe spaces where people from all parts of society can come together and work in meaningful ways toward a better future…. CSOs can bear witness to violations in powerful ways that undermine the authority and legitimacy of abusers. Acting in solidarity, civil peace

Nonviolent Peaceforce is coordinating an official conference workshop entitled “Civilian Deployment, Nonviolent Civilian Peacekeeping, and Nonviolent Peaceforce” that will feature presentations from Co-Chair Claudia Samayoa along with representatives from other organizations that are working with civilian deployment, including Peace Brigades International (PBI), West Africa Network for Peacebuilding (WANEP), Civil Peace Service, Germany, and the Austrian Study Center for Peace and Conflict Resolution (ASPR).

In conjunction with the conference, convener European Platform for Conflict Prevention (ECCP) is releasing a new book, “People Building Peace II: Successful Stories of Civil Society.” The book includes a chapter, “Civilian Peacekeepers,” authored by NP Co-Chairs Claudia Samayoa of Guatemala and Tim Wallis of the UK.

This level of recognition of civilian unarmed peacekeeping elevates the work of NP as well as that of all people doing nonviolent intervention. A�er the July conference at the UN, NP will follow up to assure that the unarmed civilian peacekeeping recommendations are implemented.

services can provide a protective presence and accompaniment to those who may be most vulnerable to violence and help support their peacebuilding efforts…

In some situations, CSOs are more acceptable to armed and opposition groups than representatives of governments and IGOs, allowing them to play a distinct role.

4. Making the shift to prevention: priorities for change

4.1.5 Multifunctional peace operations

Action points:c) Mandates should prioritize the protection of civilian populations and vulnerable groups, including peace workers….f) Create interlocking systems of peacekeeping capacities so the UN can partner with relevant regional organizations and civil peace services to increase rapid response capacity and protective accompaniment for vulnerable groups. The UN should work with existing civil peace services in order to develop shared rosters of specialists, taking into account the importance of cultural and gender diversity as a key resource of such teams. Governments should provide political and financial support for CSOs that place multinational, trained unarmed civilian peacekeepers….

4.1.7 Post-war reconstruction and peacebuilding

Action points:b)….. Provide protective accompaniment for [refugees and internally displaced people] returning to their homes in disputed areas, utilizing civil peace services as appropriate.

4.2 Promoting Human Security: addressing the root causes of conflict

4.2.5 State effectiveness and democratic governance

Action points:a)….Help prevent the potential for elections-related organized violence through comprehensive monitoring during the entire campaign period, including by deploying international civilian monitors to provide protective presence for vulnerable actors.

The Ugandan government has off ered a complete amnesty to all members of the LRA who turn themselves in during a six-month period. Ugandan history, however, leads

the LRA to distrust this off er since in previous confl icts surrendering rebel leaders were tortured and killed. Many people in the north are afraid that if the leadership of the LRA is given no safe way to surrender, their children – who make up 85% of the LRA—may be murdered en masse. Furthermore, the Acholi place great faith in their traditional reconciliation ceremonies. Their tradition excludes

the death penalty and provides ritual mechanisms to reintegrate even the most vicious of former criminals.

The NP exploratory team was told repeatedly that the mere presence of an international fi eld team would exert pressure to end the confl ict. The IGC is considering a proposal to deploy an NP project in Uganda.

In response to requests from local peacemakers and African IGC members NP sent an exploratory team to Uganda in March 2004.

For eighteen years, the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) has waged an armed campaign against the Ugandan government as well as against the people (mostly the Acholi tribe) of northern Uganda. In order to ensure unquestioning allegiance and avoid infi ltration by spies, the LRA has been abducting children, some as young as nine years old. The children are forced to work fi rst as porters and servants, later as fi ghters and sex-objects.

The current president of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni, came to power in 1986 by armed rebellion against a government controlled by a member of the Acholi tribe. As a consequence, the civilian population of the north largely distrusts the Ugandan Army. Some accuse the army of failing to vigorously pursue the LRA because of self-serving purposes.

Only recently has a multi-party democracy been allowed to re-emerge. The greatest impact of the confl ict has fallen upon the civilian population. Over one million have been displaced from their villages, many forcibly removed by the military into Internally Displaced People (IDP) camps in order to declare anyone outside of the camps “a rebel”. Furthermore, 15-20,000 children throughout the region leave the countryside every night, walking up to six miles to fi nd refuge in towns, so they will not be abducted by the LRA.

The confl ict between Muslims and Christians has underlain decades of recurring violence in Mindano, the Philippines. A� er several visits and one three-person exploration NP is now considering a deployment of a 3-5 member early warning team. Although currently there is no large-scale violence in most areas and there are local and international governmental monitoring eff orts underway, there continues to be a risk of renewed hostilities. Local NGOs are requesting international civilian presence to augment their eff orts and NP recognizes the benefi t of building on-the-ground relationships ahead of time, in case an escalation requires rapid large-scale international civilian intervention.

NP and Swarajpeeth (SP), the NP member organization that hosted the NP International Convening Event in India in 2002, have partnered to conduct educational programs on Gandhi’s Root Text, “Hind Swaraj,” with Hindus, Muslims and others. This is the only concerted endeavour in recent times to specifi cally draw a large number of Muslims into nonviolent confl ict intervention training in India.

One signifi cant result of this public dialogue on nonviolence has been the demand for an Urdu translation of Hind Swaraj. During the Birth of Satyagraha in South Africa on September 11, 1906, and the subsequent Nonviolent Freedom Movement which galvanized the nation of India to reject the violence of modern civilization and achieve freedom from British rule, Muslims were shoulder–to-shoulder with Mahatma Gandhi. In light of the association with the events of September 11, 2001, the momentum to recall and highlight the earlier anniversary and include dialog with Islam has increased. Participants in group meetings and discourses in Delhi and more than half a dozen towns of Western U� ar Pradesh (North India) feel an urgent need to recommit to a culture of nonviolence and share that across nations, races and cultures. Many are preparing for a vow to become “Shanti Saniks” or members of the “peace army” on September 11.

NP regional coordinator Rajiv Vora of India has shared his deep understanding of nonviolence by helping NP fi eld team members and other staff increase their spiritual understanding to complement their strategic use of nonviolence. He has also worked to strengthen the relationship with Burmese and other member organizations in Asia.

In 2004, NP Europe has dramatically improved the member organizations’ networking, with good results in publishing an online European newsle� er and website, in a common training project proposed to the European Union, and in a fruitful regional meeting in Scotland followed by one in Romania where peace NGOs from Eastern and Western Europe joined to discuss common strategies.

In working towards a greater public recognition of nonviolence, NP Europe was elected a member of the Steering Commi� ee of the European Peacebuilding Liaison Offi ce (EPLO), composed of 17 of the most relevant European peacebuilding NGOs, and is participating in the EU debate on crisis management, which is now more open to the idea of “civilian teams”. Alessandro Rossi, European Development Offi cer, was elected vice president of EPLO.

NP member organizations have worked hard to lobby for support and recognition of nonviolent civilian intervention work. This includes demanding a UK Civil Peace Service, lobbying to include peace service activities in the German Government Confl ict Prevention Action Plan, campaigning for a European non-armed civilian force for Israel/Palestine, and advocating for national civil service to support young

Plans are in progess to continue to monitor the border and Colombia, help strengthen relationships between communities on both sides of the border, and develop multinational training in Latin America and the Caribbean on “Nonpartisan 3rd Party Intervention in Armed Confl ict.”

In Latin America, NP has strengthened relations with Member Organizations and other related NGOs. Regional Coordinator Alvaro Ramirez-Durini and the NP contact group have investigated the daily violence on the border of Ecuador and Colombia, specifi cally in the border provinces of Esmeraldas, Carchi and Sucumbíos.

Conditions contributing to the violent environment include:• Fumigation of coca farms which aff ects

people, plants and animals in areas along both sides of the border. The spraying has caused death, illness and widespread contamination of the food and water supply.

• Neglect and lack of investments by the Ecuadorian authorities in food, health and social services.

• Large numbers of refugees, displaced by the confl ict.

• Violations of rights of the indigenous people, Afro-Ecuadorians and Colombians.

• Clashes between the various Colombian armed groups who roam the region. Demands for increased police and military presence only increases the tension.

• Enrollment of the young in the armed groups of Colombia.

• Threats to community leaders, human rights workers, and human rights organizations by the governments as well as by armed groups.

NP IGC Member Rabia Roberts visited Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Israel-Palestine in November-December 2003. Jennifer Kuiper, a board member of a member organization, followed this up with additional advance work in February through April of 2005.

In order to assure our nonpartisanship, NP must work with all sides of the confl ict to develop a project that would provide protection to civilians facing the threat of violence regardless of their ethinicity. Any NP intervention would need to be closely coordinated with organizations commi� ed to nonviolence throughout the region.

Many Israelis and Palestinians contacted felt NP could play a positive role once a genuine peace process is underway. NP participation would need to be carefully orchestrated with existing NGO’s in Israel and Palestine, perhaps by providing training in nonviolent protective activities, as well as international institutional support.

NP is considering hiring a Middle East Regional Coordinator to establish relationships both inside and outside the region. The complex economic, cultural, and social factors in the Middle East demand a nonviolent response. NP is dedicated to supporting organizations and individuals who are commi� ed to nonviolent means of struggle.

North America Regional Coordinator Joan Bernstein, together with representatives of Member Organizations and Chapters, developed a training curriculum to familiarize the general public with techniques of nonviolent confl ict intervention. They also began to develop more advanced training for those who wish to serve on domestic peace teams. These North American leaders will be pilot testing the training curriculula during 2005 and seeking funding for expert trainers to teach volunteers across North America to become trainers for diverse audiences.

In 2004, there were 21 active local NP Chapters from 14 diff erent states. Three International chapters were formed that partner with one or more chapters in the USA.

Chapter members staffed information tables at public events, sold peace bonds, hosted fundraising events, public information events, and house parties, gave speeches about NP to community groups, religious groups and schools, and expanded their membership.

Several North American NP activists traveled to Sri Lanka in the Spring of 2004 to assist with monitoring the election there and to become more familiar with Sri Lanka and work of the NP field team. In September, chapter leaders from around the country gathered in Minneapolis for the annual local chapter conference-- a weekend of training in nonviolent conflict intervention, fundraising, and media work, as well as strategic planning and chapter development planning. In December, they hosted a 6-city speaking tour with ICG Co-Chair Claudia Samayoa.

Sri Lanka Peacekeeping Project

2004 was a diffi cult year for Sri Lanka. While the national elections in spring saw less political violence than anticipated, the East of Sri Lanka saw much violence. A faction of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), based in the East under ‘Colonel’ Karuna, split from their Northern High Command and sought to set up a separate Tamil organization. The LTTE eliminated most of the faction’s strong-holds in a quick military strike in April, but supporters of Karuna are still active more than a year later. The intra-Tamil fi ghting causes much of the political violence in the East.

In December 2004 a tsunami devastated the coastal areas. NP quickly responded to local needs by adding a page to our website and informing our supporters thru email updates on ways to contribute to grassroots relief via one of our local partners Sarvodaya. In less than two weeks NP supporters contributed US $133,000, all of which went directly to Sarvodaya for relief and reconstruction eff orts. The NP Project Mandate was revised to respond to this disaster (see box at right). Prior to the tsunami there had been li� le progress towards resuming the peace talks at the national level despite eff orts of both Sri Lankan and international

intermediaries. Hopes that the natural disaster might unite both the LTTE and the Government to put aside their diff erences and resume peace talks at the national level have yet to materialize.

In general there has been an oversupply of relief and under-coordination of distribution. NP has discovered areas where relief was not being equitably distributed or reaching the intended victims. FTMs have been able to put their local knowledge of areas less frequented by international agencies to good use. They have accompanied human rights workers and facilitated access through checkpoints.

FTMs also worked with local activists to increase the inclusion of Sri Lankan NGOs and the aff ected communities in decision-making on relief and reconstruction. For example, in an area where Muslims were signifi cantly aff ected an FTM noticed that no Muslims were included in the original composition of the local relief and reconstruction coordinating commi� ees. Following an intervention by NP, Muslims were appointed to these commi� ees.

“Immediately a� er the tsunami Nonviolent Peaceforce came to the aid of Sri Lanka by

directing donors to Sarvodaya...which you did with compassion and vigor...This natural disaster

has added to the long term suff ering of many village people caught in the ethnic, political and

religious violence associated with the confl ict in Sri Lanka. That is why it is important to support the Nonviolent Peaceforce… (NP) can play a vital role

each day as well as in the future.”Dr. A.T. Ariyaratne, Sarvodaya founder and president

11

Revised Sri Lanka Project Mandate• To provide non-violent protection to aff ected communities and groups,

including Sri Lankan relief and reconstruction workers, to enable them to live and carry out their work in freedom from actual or threatened armed, political or physical interference or violence.

• To monitor in areas where NP is active and provide information by the issuing of regular wri� en and verbal reports to concerned parties.

• To identify relief and reconstruction activities that promote inclusivity and community participation as well as to identify activities where harm is being caused by partisan and excluding practices.

• To assist agencies new to areas where NP operates to pursue such principles of community inclusivity and participation.

• To identify improvements or deterioration in the underlying national and local confl icts that the current peace process is intended to address.

• To encourage and support community involvement in relief and reconstruction activities not only to promote the fundamental human rights to food and shelter but also, to promote communal harmony and a Sri Lanka at peace.

ValaichchenaiTo respond to continued tensions in the Ba� icaloa District, the NP team here has been increased to six by reducing the staff in other offi ces. This area is more than 90% Tamil and has suff ered casualties arising from Muslim-Tamil clashes. This area has also been aff ected by the continuing tit-for-tat killings between the LTTE and the break-away Karuna faction and has been a principal center for recruitment by the LTTE. Much of the team’s work has been seeking ways of preventing innocent civilian non-combatants from being caught up in the LTTE in-fi ghting as well as providing protection and support for families and activists working on issues of child recruitment. The team has also been working with Muslim and Tamil community groups in ethnically segregated areas to provide protection and support peace-building eff orts.

JaffnaGovernment forces took most of the peninsula from the LTTE in 1996. The population in this area

is almost 100% Tamil, many of whom have been displaced since the government converted about 1/3 of the land into military areas known as High Security Zones. Tensions in the area arise from civilian resentment at the military presence, LTTE taxes on businesses and imports into the area, and from allegations of forced recruitment by the LTTE. NP is working with local groups and individuals to strengthen their capacity to reduce these tensions.

TrincomaleeThe ethnic mix in this Eastern coastal district is divided almost equally between Muslims, Sinhalese and Tamils. The Mutur area has experienced the highest number of violent deaths since the start of the ceasefi re in December 2001. The NP team has provided protection to communities under threat and worked with community leaders seeking to reduce tension. They have also worked on child protection issues stemming from the threat of recruitment by military groups, have helped to build links between the Muslim and Tamil communities, and have been exploring ways to reduce tension between diff erent factions within the Muslim community.

1312

Matara The district on the southern coast of the island has a majority Sinhalese population, though there are signifi cant pockets of Muslims, o� en in business, and Indian Tamils (last-century-immigrants who work mainly on tea and rubber estates in the area). The main tensions here arise from disputes between the Government and opposition parties, which are mainly Sinhala, though there are also occasional eruptions of violence from ethnic disputes as well. The team here has established a wide range of contacts in the area and supported civil society leaders in the development of projects to tackle the roots of violence.

NP eff ectiveness comes from the fact that we are well-trained internationals commi� ed to nonviolence who have maintained our non-partisanship while building up strong community links. In the post-tsunami situation, it is clear that much is returning to ‘normal’ in the East, i.e. the potential for violence between and within communities continues and harassment of individuals and groups continues.

During the April elections, NP teams monitored candidate fi ling sites to deter intimidation and assassination of offi ce seekers. They also helped lay the groundwork and provided logistical support for the short term international teams who came to monitor the polling places. NP peacekeeping contributed to the most peaceful elections in recent history.

The Field Team members use many techniques to fulfi ll their mission to work with Sri Lankan peacemakers to reduce and prevent violence, each applied appropriately to particular circumstances. These include: • Accompanying civil society activists• Providing protective

presence in villages and at public events

• Monitoring demonstrations and other volatile situations

• Connecting people to resources

• Linking local leaders, local authorities, community based organizations (CBOs), and other individuals

• Introducing other NGOs and INGOs to the area• Consulting with local activists and people in general on

options what to do in crisis• Providing safe places to meet.
