Forum Crisis Prevention e.V.

Forum Crisis Prevention e.V. (FCP) is a German-registered non-profit association (eingetragener Verein) founded in Bonn in 2005. It is both nationally and internationally active and works to involve people from as many countries as possible in civilian crisis prevention. From 1 January 2006 it has functioned as the successor organisation to the Initiative Pro UNCOPAC. The association's central aim is to strengthen existing and develop new international structures whose main purpose is to prevent warlike forms of conflict and to contain crises. It supports the diverse efforts of civil-society organisations that reflect, realise and actively spread the idea of civilian, non-military conflict management. Its target groups are non-governmental organisations working in the fields of peace, development, human rights, ecology and globalisation. FCP's flagship proposal is a UN Commission on Peace and Crisis Prevention (UNCOPAC). The commission would be tasked, supported by a staff of scientists and practitioners of conflict management, in cooperation with civil society and existing early-warning institutions, with developing detailed recommendations for the timely, non-military handling of regional crises by the United Nations. The work of the Forum is intended to correspond to the competences that would be required under Art. 16,2 of the model statute for a UNCOPAC for the scientific staff of that commission. The Forum also seeks to involve media, politics, parties and academia in the specialist discussion. As a registered association rather than a commercial company, FCP operates as a civil-society advocacy and networking platform. Its public presence is maintained through its website, crisis-prevention.info, and it is recorded in Wikidata (Q108293990).

Forum Crisis Prevention e.V. was founded in Bonn in 2005. It emerged from the Initiative Pro UNCOPAC, whose goal had been to bring a proposal for a UN Commission on Peace and Crisis Prevention (UNCOPAC) into political discussion. From 1 January 2006, Forum Crisis Prevention took over as the successor organisation of that initiative. The association has since worked nationally and internationally to involve people from as many countries as possible in civilian crisis prevention. Its core objective is to strengthen existing and develop new international structures whose main purpose is to prevent warlike forms of conflict and to contain crises. It supports civil-society organisations active in peace, development, human rights, ecology and globalisation that reflect, realise and spread the idea of civilian, non-military conflict management. The UNCOPAC proposal remains central: the commission would, supported by a staff of scientists and practitioners of conflict management and in cooperation with civil society and existing early-warning institutions, develop detailed recommendations for the timely, non-military handling of regional crises by the United Nations. The Forum's own work is designed to match the competences that Art. 16,2 of the model statute for a UNCOPAC would require of the commission's scientific staff. It also seeks to engage media, politics, parties and academia in the specialist discussion.
