Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue Mediation for Peace — HD Centre

The Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue’s (HD) mission is to prevent, mitigate and resolve armed conflicts, through dialogue and mediation. or almost two decades, HD has supported peaceful settlements around the world. The organisation is currently involved in more than 40 dialogue and mediation initiatives in over 25 countries. HD is a Swiss-based private diplomacy organisation founded on the principles of humanity, impartiality and independence. 

HD uses the tools of private diplomacy to expand the space for the non-violent resolution of armed conflict. It opens channels of communication and mediates between parties in conflict, facilitates dialogue, provides support to the broader mediation and peacebuilding community, carries out capacity building work, and conducts research on mediation issues. HD deploys its expertise to support local and nationally-owned processes that protect civilians and foster lasting and just peace.
