QCEA promotes Quaker values at the European level. We advocate non-violent approaches to conflict resolution, promote policies that respect the intrinsic equality of all people everywhere, and try to ensure that European policy sustains the planet’s resources and the lives of all those who share them. We have represented European Quakers in Brussels since 1979. The EU is one of the most successful peace projects in history, but we are in a time of real danger for the peaceful and humanitarian values that have been institutionalised over the last 70 years. The response to the migration crisis is the biggest human rights issue in Europe at present, yet European nations and governments are failing to meet the very standards they helped create. If there was ever a time for Quakers to bring our voice and our expertise to discussions about fundamental rights and justice, it is now. In October 2016, QCEA re-launched our Peace Programme. It seeks to bring a new approach to the daunting security challenges that Europe faces today. It aims at offering a comprehensive approach to security, where society is at the centre, and providing alternative views and solutions to conflict prevention and resolution to policy and decision makers. At the heart of this new vision of security is non-military peacebuilding.
