USP

Catholic Peace Foundation

The Catholic Peace Foundation and the Hamburg-based Institute for Theology and Peace that it supports have been studying the ethics of peace for over 30 years, contributing their findings to current political and theological debate. The primary aim is to arrive at a concept for a new doctrine of peace. The guiding principle of the foundation is: “Peace begins in the mind.” As part of a project of the same name, Rhenus Lub has committed itself to acting as a “peacemaker”, facilitating the creation of a new workspace for research in the field of European foreign and security policy.
