Ils rassemblent une large coalition d'acteurs issus d'organisations politiques, diplomatiques, universitaires, de défense et de sécurité, de la société civile et multilatérales. Le processus global, inclusif, ascendant et descendant de développement des Principles pour atteindre une paix durable a été mené par la Commission internationale sur la paix inclusive. L'approche a ancré l'initiative à la fois dans la realpolitik et dans la société réelle et a contribué à combler le fossé entre les processus de paix et les besoins et aspirations locaux. Elle s'est appuyée sur des recherches de pointe, des consultations participatives et l'engagement du public pour repenser et remodeler fondamentalement les processus de paix dans le monde.

The Principles for Peace Foundation acts as a catalyst, custodian, and curator of the Principles for Peace and Pacte des artisan(e)s de Paix. It promotes the uptake and implementation of the Principles and serves as a synergist of partnerships to engage a diversity of actors to develop country, constituency, and thematic specific roadmaps and codes of Practice. The Foundation's goal is to empower actors at all levels to create more durable and inclusive peace processes and enhance oversight and effectiveness for long-term peace outcomes.
The Foundation employs a rigorous and transparent monitoring approach to assess peace actors' contributions, encouraging constructive input to advance peacemaking efforts. It seeks to build upon evidence-based, politically-conscious, and participatory approaches and alliances established in the initiative's initial phase, fostering global, regional, and local peacebuilding efforts. The Foundation operates independently to ensure consistency and effectiveness in peacemaking efforts, with no direct operational role.
- In 2021, more than 50 active conflicts caused over 119,000 deaths and many millions of injuries or displacements. The number of active conflicts has tripled since the end of the Cold War and remains stubbornly high.
- Almost half of the conflicts since 1989 have recurred in some form, often repeatedly, and many protracted crises persist for a decade or more with no resolution. Furthermore, in many regions not at war, people live with high levels or endemic cycles of violence, insecurity, and unresolved conflicts that provide fertile ground for violent mobilization. These trends demonstrate the urgent need for more effective and sustainable peacebuilding strategies.
