Closed Projects

Since 1981, PBI has worked in eleven countries worldwide. Several of these projects have been closed, because conflicts have reduced, or funding was cut, or for other reasons. Find out more about our closed projects here:

Sri Lanka Project

From October 1989 to April 1998, Peace Brigades International provided unarmed protective accompaniment to Sri Lankan individuals, organizations and communities threatened by violence.

Team members accompanied Buddhist monks on a peace march, investigated reports of illegal detention centers, accompanied threatened lawyers, street demonstrations and pickets.

They also acted as international observers, networked with government, diplomatic and NGO representatives on the island, and wrote regular reports on the political/human rights situation in Sri Lanka.

What they say

"...I, too would like to pay tribute to the work of Peace Brigades International and to the bravery of the volunteers. Through their work, they are able to provide the sort of protection in Choco, Urabá and elsewhere that the armed forces cannot provide."
Tony Lloyd (Ex-Minister of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office, British Government

PBI Nepal Impunity Publication - May 2011

The culture of impunity in Nepal related to conflict-era crimes continues and affects present-day access to justice. There is an absence of rule of law in many areas and rising insecurity as a result. Human rights defenders working against impunity or within this environment are made vulnerable. Here PBI-Nepal's partners and volunteers describe the situation and the effects on human rights defenders.
