Is peace simply the opposite of war?  Does it exist in combination with justice?  At the National Peace Foundation, we examine peace at the holistic level, defining peace as a set of rights and freedoms.  We believe not only in peace between nation states, but also in the ability for all people to live at peace in their nation, where peace is freedom from fear, freedom from oppression, and freedom from the fear of crime and disease. Generally speaking, peace is a state in which individuals are free to pursue their individual lives, free from unjust restraints.  We believe that a solid foundation of these freedoms is a foundation for peace.  Our programs aim to build this foundation.
