Conflict Solutions International

Our Story

With the end of the cold war, the relative stability the world had known for almost 50 years gave way to new threats to peace and security. Ethnic and religious conflicts, regional wars, terrorism and human rights violations are erupting with increasing frequency around the world. While governments and large international organizations often intervene, there are conflicts and special situations which can best be dealt with by smaller and flexible independent organizations.

Conflict Solutions International (CSI), created to deal with those challenges, is a small, independent, non-partisan organization. Its offices are located in Washington, D.C., with representatives and advisors in several countries. Operating in the field of conflict resolution, it conducts its activities in the most impartial and independent manner. Central to its mission is a role of fact finder and also of spokesperson for those people and movements whom traditional media has left behind. In that sense, it shares certain goals with investigative reporters and news organizations . But it differs from these entities in significant ways. We are action- and crisis-oriented and specialize in difficult areas . While we remain true to the spirit of our non-profit status, we also strive to operate with the efficiency and flexibility of a private enterprise.
