BACKGROUND AND ACTIVITIES<br />
Aditus Ad Pacem: A Religious Approach to International Peace<br />
Jan Karski Wellspring of Freedom Program on International Freedom of Religion and Belief:<br />
<strong>The</strong> Wellspring of Freedom Program consists of three elements: research, education, and action. <strong>Institute</strong> staff will research and<br />
investigate instances of religious repression around the globe by taking advantage of a wide-ranging network of individuals and<br />
groups around the globe who can provide the <strong>Institute</strong> with reliable up-to-date information on circumstances of religious repression,<br />
intolerance, discrimination, and persecution.<br />
Non-Proliferation Lifeline Project:<br />
An inter-religious Track II diplomatic campaign at the United Nations to bolster support for NPT in the coming year of crisis. <strong>The</strong><br />
Non-Proliferation Lifeline Project will introduce American and international religious leaders to the NPT Review process through the<br />
development and dissemination of an appeal to NPT Heads of State that will be supported through consultations with NPT Review<br />
Conference delegates at the United Nations in New York and <strong>Geneva</strong> and other sites where the <strong>Institute</strong> is particularly capable of<br />
operating effectively (e.g., the Holy See and Israel).<br />
Center for Religion and Homeland Security:<br />
<strong>The</strong> Center for Religion and Homeland Security, a project of the <strong>Institute</strong> on Religion and Public Policy, seeks to shape the focus of<br />
America’s homeland security policy by seeking to identify, study, and promulgate the nexus between Religion, Fundamental Rights,<br />
and Homeland Security.<br />
