The main vision behind the launch of the International Association of Parliamentarians for Peace is to provide a platform for parliamentarians from different countries to use their experience to help find concrete solutions to world problems.
The International Association of Parliamentarians for Peace operates in several countries, including Nepal, Burkina Faso, the United Kingdom, Costa Rica, Paraguay, Zambia, Japan, and the United States, in the first year of its establishment and operation.
Former member of the US Congress Dan Burton and former speaker of the Philippine Parliament Jose de Venecia were the first Co-Chairmans of the International Association of Parliamentarians for peace.[1][2][3]
