Description of the Organization

The experience of the peaceful "Wende" in 1989 awakened in many people the hope that a Germany without a military could be possible. This hope led people from various civil initiatives in Halle together to found the Friedenskreis in 1990. The Friedenskreis Halle e.V. is an group of people of differing world views, religions, nationalities and political affiliations. We see peace not as a state of being or as a distant goal, and not simply as the absence of war. Peace is for us a means to a common, just and non-violent life together in diversity, where the personal development and liberty of the individual is made possible. The conception of this life together is always a new experience. This is why we try to explore, find and pass on new ways of doing so, while never forgetting to question the same. We are consequently involved in education, peace-associated activities and in projects for civil conflict resolution on both the domestic and international levels. Our work is made possible by paid and voluntary staff and carried through donations and public subsidies. Our current programme and projects

  • Seminars and educational programmes in the areas of communication, conflict resolution, mediation, dealing with violence and learning how to speak out
  • Consulting for initiatives and projects
  • Lectures and seminars on current peace-associated themes
  • Civil conflict resolution through the development of an educational and encounter centre in Jajce, Bosnia.
  • Work camps, youth encounters and volunteer work in the countries of the Balkans.
  • Counselling on military service and conscientious objection
  • Cooperation in activities and campaigns against militarisation
  • Coordination of the initiative "Zivilcourage: Bündnis für Gewaltlosigkeit, Demokratie und Toleranz in Halle"

Description of the Organization

Forum Human Rights  is a network of more than 50 German non-governmental organizations (NGOs) who are committed to better and more comprehensive protection of human rights - worldwide, in specific regions of the world, within countries and also within the Federal Republic of Germany. The Forum was established in 1994 following the International Human Rights Conference in Vienna.

Our objectives:

  • to monitor critically the human rights policy of the German Government and the German Bundestag (parliament) at both the national and international level;
  • to implement joint projects with the aim of improving the protection of human rights worldwide;
  • to create an awareness about human rights issues amongst the German public at large, to draw attention, when required, to human rights violations in Germany and to work for their resolution;
  • to guarantee an exchange of all relevant informations on human rights issues between the member organizations;
  • to support local, regional and national NGOs in the international aspects of their work and to promote an international network of NGOs in general.

Various working groups of the Forum are responsible for preparing joint statements and information material and for organizing campaigns, public meetings and forums of experts. The FORUM MENSCHENRECHTE is closely cooperating with NGOs at both the European and international level. FMR-activities are coordinated by a board of maximum eight persons elected by the affiliates of the Forum,
representing the entire spectrum of member organizations.

The Forum funds its activities throughcontributions from its affiliated organizations.
