Institute for War & Peace Reporting (or IWPR for short) is an independent not-for profit organisation that works with media and civil society to promote positive change in conflict zones, closed societies, and countries in transition around the world. It has coordinating offices in the United States and the Netherlands, and a global headquarters in London. IWPR supports local reporters, citizen journalists and civil society activists in countries in conflict, crisis and transition around the world. It trains, mentors and provides platforms for professional and citizen reporters; builds up the institutional capacity of media and civic groups; and works with partners to remove barriers to free expression, robust public debate and citizen engagement. IWPR works on the ground in more than 30 countries and runs programmes in, among other places, Afghanistan,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Afghanistan )〕 the Caucasus,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Caucasus )〕 Central Asia,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Central Asia )〕 Iraq,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Iraq )〕 the Balkans,〔http://iwpr.net/programme/balkans-regional-reporting-sustainable-training〕 Sudan,〔(【引用サイトリンク】website=Institute for War and Peace Reporting )〕 and Uganda.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Uganda )〕 ==History== IWPR was founded in 1991 under the name Yugofax by American Anthony Borden, the United Kingdom's Ben Cohen and Vanessa Quick, and Serbian journalist Miloš Vasić. Yugofax was initially a newsletter that reported on the troubling developments throughout the Balkans from a balanced perspective. As the conflict developed into an all out war, Yugofax newsletter changed its name to Balkan War Report. Eventually, in late 1995, after the Dayton Peace Accord was signed ending the war in Bosnia, the newsletter expanded its area of focus to other global trouble spots (initially mainly focusing on ex-Soviet republics) and adjusted its name to simply War Report. In 1998, the newsletter changed its name again, this time to Institute for War & Peace Reporting and registered as a non-governmental organization. IWPR is registered with charitable status in the United Kingdom (charity reg. no: 1027201, company reg. no: 2744185), in the United States under IRS Section 501(c)(3); and The Netherlands as a charitable foundation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Institute for War and Peace Reporting」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
