The Mandela Series: Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock
Channel: United States Institute of Peace
Date: 2023-11-08

The U.S. Institute of Peace is South African President Nelson Mandela’s life and work as a peacebuilder by establishing the Mandela Series and dedicating the Nelson Mandela Peace Plaza at USIP’s headquarters in Washington, D.C. Through the Mandela Series, the Institute commemorates the late president and Nobel Peace Prize laureate whose historic peacemaking effort resulted in the end of South Africa’s apartheid system. President Mandela remained dedicated to reconciliation, inclusive democracy and ending violent conflict in his own country and globally throughout his life.

With the rules-based international order under increasing pressure from major-power rivalry, global inequities, climate change and pandemics, USIP is committed to promoting an American approach to peacebuilding — with an emphasis on de-escalation, dialogue, inclusion, justice, the rule of law, and political and religious freedom.

On November 7, USIP hosted the second lecture in this series from Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock. Senator Warnock discussed his commitment to nonviolent action and the role of faith in peacebuilding.

The United States Institute of Peace is a national, nonpartisan, independent institute, founded by Congress and dedicated to the proposition that a world without violent conflict is possible, practical and essential for U.S. and global security. In conflict zones abroad, the Institute works with local partners to prevent, mitigate, and resolve violent conflict. To reduce future crises and the need for costly interventions, USIP works with governments and civil societies to build local capacities to manage conflict peacefully. The Institute pursues its mission by linking research, policy, training, analysis and direct action to support those who are working to build a more peaceful, inclusive world.
