Introduction
One of the core means of engagement of Pax Christi International has been to coordinate and represent the global peace movement on the international policy stage.
Many of our advocacy actions are carried out jointly with other civil society members, including other faith based ones and through being part of networks. The capacity of the movement to be active on the international level is amplified by its considerable access to intergovernmental policy-making fora and the work of its representatives at several international organizations:
- Pax Christi International has held special consultative status with the United Nations since 1979 in New York, Geneva and Vienna, as well as with UNESCO in Paris;
- Pax Christi International participates in meetings of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg;
- Pax Christi International has contacts and attends consultations with the institutions of the EU in Brussels.
