Life in Conflict

Conflict is inevitable, but combat is optional.
Max Lucade

Today, there are a numerous number of conflicts that take place around the world. This Channel is a way to raise awareness of Dr Kumar Rupesinghes work on Conflict Resolution through organizations such as The Foundation for Co-Existence and International Alert.

FCE is a humanitarian organization based in Sri Lanka focusing on peace, human security, conflict resolution and development. FCE strives to create a culture of peace in a society that has continuously seen violence used to resolve conflicts.

International Alert is an independent peace building organization that has been involved in mediation and conflict resolution and is one of the largest international non-governmental organizations in the world.

Kumar has a remarkable talent as an advocate for a more sane and sensible approach to the problem of preventing war.
- Nicholas Dunlop - 'International Coordinator, Earth Action Network'

Kumar Rupesinghe is among the most influential thinkers in the conflict prevention field today. But he is also one of the few who transforms thought to action and realises visions.
- David Nyheim - 'Director of the Forum for Early Warning and Early Response (FEWER)'
