The International Peace Institute (IPI, formerly the International Peace Academy) is an independent non-profit think tank[4] founded in 1970[5] based in New York. The institute has a regional office in the Middle East (Manama, Bahrain) and had a regional office in Europe (Vienna, Austria) until 2020.[6][7][8][9][10]

IPI specializes in multilateral approaches to peace and security issues, working closely with the United Nations system and its member states.[8][9] Areas of focus include peace operations; peace, climate, and sustainable development; women, peace, and security; and human rights and humanitarian affairs.[6]

IPI states that it produces “evidence-based analysis and practical policy recommendations to inform debate and guide decision making on complex and emerging issues;” that it “engages policy- and decision-makers from the United Nations System, member states, regional organizations, civil society, and the private sector through candid discussion;” and that it “provides innovative and strategic advice on multilateral processes to these partners to help them develop and implement achievable and sustainable solutions.”[11][12]

As of May 2024, IPI has a staff of approximately 38. Since March 2021, Zeid bin Ra'ad Al Hussein has been the President and CEO of IPI with Adam Lupel as Vice President and COO.[13][14]
