The Toda Institute is an independent, nonpartisan, and nonprofit organization committed to the pursuit of peace with peaceful means and a complete abolition of war. In cooperation with other peace organizations that resist injustice and resolve conflict, the Institute aims at maximizing the efforts of people of peace of all colors and creeds everywhere. In helping to promote peace initiatives at national, regional, and international levels, the Institute encourages and proposes concrete strategies that can be translated into action. For the next few years, The Institute will focus on an international dialogue on four major themes: (1) Human Security and Global Governance, (2) Human Rights and Global Ethics, (3) Social Justice and Global Economy, and (4) Cultural Identity and Global Citizenship.
