Peace Brigades International (PBI) is an international grassroots volunteer-based non-profit organization that promotes the transformation of conflicts and the protection of human rights. PBI sends teams of highly-trained field volunteers into areas of conflict and repression. Field volunteers provide physical accompaniment to threatened civil society actors and other groups threatened by politically-motivated violence. PBI, in existence since 1981, and its model have proven that external presence can deter political violence. PBI currently operates field projects in Colombia, Guatemala, Indonesia, Mexico and Nepal and has previously worked in El Salvador, Haiti, East Timor, the Balkans, Sri Lanka and in Native American communities in North America.
