The Intercontinental Network for Peace and Solidarity was created in March 2001 at Grenoble, France. It gathers two French associations: the Ecole de la Paix - Grenoble (research, training and action for peace culture and non-violence centre) and Aide à l'Enfance Tibétaine (association encouraging education in order to help Tibetan refugees back to Tibet).

The specificity of this transverse network of international solidarity is to regroup NGO representatives from three countries, each of them symbolizing a continent:

• Democratic Republic of Congo (Africa)
• Colombia (South America)
• Tibet (Asia)

having the following characteristics in common:

• Daily experiencing systematic violation of human rights.
• Not being supported efficiently by UNO.
• Confronted with a situation of emergency and researching peace.
• Using non-violent means, whenever possible.

These three NGOs are

	Association des Cadres Pénitentiaires du Congo (ACPC) - DR Congo Represented by Laurent Kantu Lumpungu
	Asamblea Permanente de la Sociedad Civil por la Paz (APSCP) - Colombia Represented by Inés De Brill
	Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy (TCHRD) - Tibet Represented by Ugyen Tsewang
