== History ==
The International Peace Institute was created with support from UN Secretary-General U Thant in 1970,<ref>{{Cite web |date= |title=Mission & History |url=https://www.ipinst.org/about/mission-history |access-date=2023-02-14 |website=International Peace Institute |language=en-US}}</ref> originally with the purpose of studying UN peacekeeping and developing peacekeeping doctrine, with strong financial backing from Ruth Forbes Paine Young.{{Citation needed|date=April 2020}} Its first President was Maj. Gen. Indar Jit Rikhye, Indian commanding officer of UN peacekeeping forces and a former military advisor to the UN Secretary-General. Under his tenure, IPI initiated an innovative program aimed at training civilians and military officers together for the challenges of preventing conflict and building peace. In 1990, under Olara Otunnu, a Ugandan diplomat and politician, IPI branched out into the political dimensions of war and peace. During this time, IPI became known for its case studies of UN field operations and for its forward-looking analysis on new roles for the UN in the security sphere. Otunnu also initiated IPI's Africa Program, currently its longest-running program. David M. Malone, a Canadian scholar-diplomat, took over as President in 1998, followed by Terje Rød-Larsen, from 2005 to 2020, a Norwegian sociologist and diplomat who has served the UN as its senior envoy in the Middle East, and a principal architect of the 1990s Oslo Peace Accords.<ref>{{Cite web |last1=Oterholm |first1=Gard |last2=Gjerstad |first2=Tore |date=2020-10-29 |title=Terje Rød-Larsen trekker seg som president for International Peace Institute (+) |url=https://www.dn.no/politikk/international-peace-institute/terje-rod-larsen/jeffrey-epstein/terje-rod-larsen-trekker-seg-som-president-for-international-peace-institute/2-1-903383 |access-date=2023-04-06 |website=www.dn.no}}</ref><ref name="us_sends_officials_2011_02_13_wash_post">Greenberg, Joel & Joby Warrick, [https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/us-sends-officials-to-reassure-nervous-allies/2011/02/13/ABol7pQ_story.html "U.S. sends officials to reassure nervous allies: Mullen, former U.S. ambassador meet with Jordan's King Abdullah II,"] February 13, 2011, The ''Washington Post,'' retrieved May 5, 2017</ref> IPI today focuses its work on multilateral cooperation, peace operations, climate change and sustainable development, women, peace, and security, human rights and humanitarian affairs.<ref>{{Cite web |title=INTERNATIONAL PEACE INSTITUTE INC - GuideStar Profile |url=https://www.guidestar.org/profile/03-0213226 |access-date=2024-06-24 |website=www.guidestar.org}}</ref>
