“EPLO aims to influence the EU so that it promotes and implements measures which lead to sustainable peace between states and within states and peoples, and which transform and resolve conflicts non-violently. EPLO advances the interests of its members through common policy positions and advocating for those common positions. EPLO disseminates information and promotes understanding of EU policies of concern to its members. EPLO also builds solidarity and co-operation amongst its member organisations and with other relevant NGO networks. EPLO raises awareness about the contribution that the EU should make to peacebuilding, and the need to hold the EU accountable to its own political commitments of helping to secure peace within and outside its borders.”
