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