| Introduction | The Permanent Peace Movement (PPM) was founded in 1986 (Register Nr; 86/A.D. 24/5/1986), at the height of the Lebanese civil war, by a group of university students. Unified by their aversion to violence and common vision of a brighter, more peaceful future, they set the cornerstone for what has grown into an experienced organization that promotes peace throughout the MENA region. In the last decade PPM has mediated and delivered conflict resolution training in Cyprus, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Yemen, Sudan and Lebanon and has instructed Iraqi NGO staff. The organization has developed into a regional hub for peacebuilding issues. It is the regional secretariat of the Global Partnership for Prevention of Armed Conflict (GPPAC) and initiator of The Arab Partnership for Conflict Prevention and Human Security (APCPHS); the regional representative for the International Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers; regional coordinator for the Non-Violence Network in the Arab Countries (NVNAC); in the stirring committee for the MENA Action Network on Small Arms (MENAANSA) |
