Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue

Description

HD is a Swiss-based non-profit organisation founded on the principles of humanity, impartiality and independence.

The Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue (HD) works to prevent and resolve armed conflicts around the world through mediation and discreet diplomacy.

Working on more than 75% of conflicts around the world, HD brings all parties together to find the path to peace.

We are global and local, helping conflict parties to build a common vision of a better future with comprehensive and inclusive peace agreements that reduce the human suffering caused by war and create the conditions for stability and development.

Since 1999, HD has been achieving peace around the world – including the Aceh separatist conflict in Indonesia, the ETA insurgency in Spain, long-running violence in the southern Philippines and a decade of fighting and turmoil in Libya.

With a focus on innovation, operations and results, HD runs mediation and peacemaking projects across Africa, the Middle East, Eurasia, Asia and Latin America.

Using our reach and networks, HD also supports humanitarian efforts by brokering ceasefires and helping to secure the safe passage of aid in high-risk areas.
