Activities by Country - Guatemala

Institutional history regarding Guatemala

In December 2001 the IPJ’s Dedicatory Conference brought together over 200 governmental and nongovernmental representatives to discuss peacemaking with justice and to focus on four conflict-affected countries: the Democratic Republic of Congo, Guatemala, Nepal and Macedonia. Subsequently the institute was invited to work in Nepal and has worked there for the past seven years. The institute has connections to Guatemala through a past participant in the Women PeaceMakers Program in 2004, Luz Mendez, and professional contacts through IPJ and School of Peace staff and faculty.

Assessment Approach

The institute is currently conducting a conflict assessment as it has done in other countries, to determine how its strategic strengths could support or contribute to peacebuilding needs in Guatemala.

Relation to University of San Diego’s mission

The institute’s approach to “not only teach peace, but make peace” through expansion of a new country project would advance the university’s international mission while also fulfilling the mission of the Joan B. Kroc School of Peace Studies to create new knowledge in peacebuilding. As a community of practitioners in peace and conflict studies, the IPJ is positioned to further the university’s goal to grow as a globally competent institution.
