The Venice Foundation for Peace Research was instituted on 3 November 1999. According to Article 2 of its statute, it has the aim of “carrying out research activities in cooperation with national and international bodies and institutions on issues related to security, development and peace, and implementing and promoting initiatives aimed at publishing results of the research undertaken”. The Foundation’s President, Antonio Silvio Calò, explained that over the years, the Foundation “has implemented actions which, taking account of the social and political contexts, have fostered peace processes, particularly through the defence of the rights of individuals and peoples”.
