IAPN’s mission mirrors the cardinal purposes set out in Article 1 of the United Nations Charter (1945). We regard the UN Charter not merely as an inspiration but as a working reference point against which we measure the design and conduct of our own programmes.
Â
To maintain international peace and security… and to bring about by peaceful means, and in conformity with the principles of justice and international law, adjustment or settlement of international disputes or situations which might lead to a breach of the peace.
—UNCharter,1945,Article1,Paragraph1
