We will use our experience and privilege to expose the legal lies which underpin the concept of “just wars” and to dispel the myths surrounding this most destructive of human political institutions. 

We will engage with activists and academics, leaders and legal scholars – all with the intention of ending war as it is fought today. 

War has always been made more palatable by hiding it from public view – revealing only what is necessary to stoke national outrage. Many of the deadliest wars go undiscussed in global media – because the victims are dying at the hands of an oil-rich state, or because their country is not considered of ‘strategic importance’ on the world stage. 

The true costs of war are hidden as well – as is the scale of the corruption which is endemic to all forces in war – and in peace. Finally, the actual scale of the casualties – the minds and bodies broken, the people killed and enslaved – these are disguised even in reports by UN oversight organizations.

We are not alone – our efforts build on the work of many great minds who have come before, and we strive to support and fund the efforts of others who are working to help end war, to document its evils, and who have survived – or continue to struggle with its horrors
