Peace People Participation
The National Peace Council (NPC) is an independent and impartial non-governmental organization that has worked towards a peaceful Sri Lanka since 1995. We believe that consistent non-violent effort and political mediation can bring an end to the prolonged conflict the country is experiencing today. Our networks reach to all levels of society, with each member working to strengthen support for a negotiated political settlement. While our activities are diverse, they are all united towards one critical goal -- to build a peaceful, prosperous Sri Lanka in which the freedom, human rights and democracy of all communities are respected.
