The Institute for Public Interest

The Institute for the Public Interest seeks to nurture critical debate and promote a culture of peace, global understanding and global justice and we seek lasting world peace through disarmament.

Our Areas of Operation

To achieve its aims, the IPI has four key areas of focus, each organised and funded separately:

Advisory and Projects

What We Do

We promote – within key national and international institutions and within civil society discourse – a culture that prioritises the public interest and uncompromisingly safeguards human rights.

We support the creation of institutional arrangements and laws that will enhance transparency and accountability, uphold civil rights, promote the public interest and prevent corruption, violence and abuse in the future.

We stand firmly against the misuse or abuse of national security, anti-espionage and counter-terrorism legislation to silence whistleblowers, dissenters, and other contributors to informed public debate. We also oppose the growing use of lawfare towards these ends.

Articles of Interest
