Peace Boat
is a global non-government organization headquartered in Japan established for the purpose of raising awareness and building connections internationally among groups that work for peace, human rights, environmental protection and sustainable development. "Peace Boat" may also refer to one of the ships embarking on a cruise under the Peace Boat organization. Since its founding in 1983, the Shinjuku, Tokyo based organization has launched 25 international voyages of passenger ships manned by international volunteers that travel particularly to areas that are experiencing or have experienced unrest.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= Peace Boat )〕 These cruises, the main operation of the Peace Boat organization, are on average carried out at least twice a year. Peace Boat, described by the ''San Francisco Chronicle'' as a "floating university of sorts", offers educational opportunities aboard, with conferences related to global events. They also provide humanitarian aid at their various stops and visit local organizations.〔
Besides the international voyages, Peace Boat carries out a number of other projects seeking justice in various international realms such as a campaign for the abolition of land mines, a Galapagos reforestation project, and more. Peace Boat also acts as the Northeast Asia regional secretariat of the Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= GPPAC in Northeast Asia )〕
As an international NGO granted Special Consultative Status by the UN, it can submit reports and proposals based on the results of its activities.
