International Crisis Group

Crisis Group was established in 1995 by a group of prominent international citizens and foreign policy specialists who were appalled by the international community’s failure to act effectively in response to the crises in Somalia, Bosnia, and Rwanda. Today, Crisis Group is an independent, non-profit, non-governmental organization working through field-based analysis and high-level advocacy to prevent and resolve deadly conflict.

Through expert field research and analysis; practical, imaginative, policy prescriptions; and effective, high-level advocacy, Crisis Group aims to help governments, international organizations, and the world community at large, contain and ultimately resolve deadly conflict.
