Who We Are

The authors of the Just Peace Agreement are ordinary people from various countries.

We are not associated with any of the parties to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, nor with any government or other political body. We have a single aim, which is the definition, promotion, adoption and implementation of the JPA. We do not do anything else, and we do not allow the Just Peace Agreement to be coupled with any other national, political, social, or humanitarian aim or organization.

We, the people involved in creating and promoting the JPA, call ourselves Peacemaker. Peacemaker is not an official organization of any kind. It is a co-operative of like-minded, neutral, independent individuals who are committed to the principles underlying the JPA and who work together to promote support for the JPA, its adoption and eventually its implementation.

From time to time people with special skills volunteer to assist Peacemaker in tasks such as translation, web work or promotion, legal drafting, or mediation. After checking that the volunteers are neutral and are committed to the principles underlying the JPA, they are invited to join us and they become part of Peacemaker just by doing their job.

Peacemaker does not accept donations of money — only of time, energy and goodwill.
