International Peace Bureau (IPB), an international peace federation, is one of the oldest and most extensive peace organizations in the world. It brings together many different groups of people working for peace--pacifists, youth groups, women's organizations, and political and professional bodies. The aim of the IPB is to serve the cause of peace by encouraging international cooperation and the prevention, or nonviolent resolution, of disputes and conflicts. It supports attempts to promote peace and disarmament made by the United Nations (UN), by national governments, and by individuals. The IPB organizes international peace projects, provides information and help to peace campaigns, publishes books and other documents relating to international peace issues, and organizes conferences and seminars. The IPB was awarded the Nobel Prize for peace in 1910.
