Peace Brigades International (PBI) is a unique grassroot organization exploring and implementing nonviolent approaches to peacekeeping and support for basic human rights. By invitations, PBI sends teams of volunteers who go into areas of political repression and conflict. PBI provides protective international accompaniment for individuals and organizations who have been threatened by political violence or who are otherwise at risk. In this way, PBI enlarges the space for local activists to work for social justice and human rights, while at the same time being non-partisan: not telling them what to do, how to do it, or how their future should be formed.

OBS

Peace Brigades International (PBI) est une organisation militante unique en son genre, qui expérimente et met en œuvre des approches non-violentes du maintien de la paix et du soutien aux droits humains fondamentaux. Sur invitation, PBI envoie des équipes de volontaires dans des régions de répression politique et de conflit. PBI fournit un accompagnement international protecteur à des personnes et des organisations qui ont été menacées de violence politique ou courent des risques similaires. À travers cette action, PBI élargit pour les militants locaux un espace de liberté où ils peuvent œuvrer à la justice sociale et au progrès des droits humains, sans jamais prendre parti : PBI ne dit pas à ces militants ce qu'ils devraient faire, ni pourquoi, ni comment.
