The International Crisis Group is an independent organisation working to prevent wars and shape policies that will build a more peaceful world.





Field research Our expert analysts engage directly with all parties to a conflict as they conduct research on the ground, share multiple perspectives and propose practical policy solutions.





Sharp analysis We publish comprehensive reports and timely commentaries to inform decision making and shape the public debate on how to limit threats to peace and security.





High-level advocacy We work with heads of government, policymakers, media, civil society, and conflict actors themselves to sound the alarm of impending conflict and to open paths to peace.
