Pax Christi

The Pax Christi International website declares its mission is "to transform a world shaken by violence, terrorism, deepening inequalities, and global insecurity".

Although Pax Christi initially began as a movement for French-German reconciliation, it expanded its focus and spread to other European countries in the 1950s.

[citation needed] In 1983, Pax Christi International was awarded the UNESCO Peace Education Prize.

[5] The Pax Christi network membership is made up of 18 national sections and 115 Member Organizations working in over 50 countries.

[citation needed] Pax Christi focuses on human rights, human security, disarmament and demilitarisation, nonviolence, nuclear disarmament, extractives in Latin America, and a renewed peace process for Israel-Palestine.
