Conflict and Peace

Conflict and Peace

The US Jesuit Conference is partnering with Jesuits in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and with Jesuits in Europe on a joint peace advocacy project. As the DRC emerges from a long period of violent conflict, we are encouraging responsible US policies toward rebuilding the country. 

Through the National Jesuit Committee on Investor Responsibility (NJCIR), the Jesuits of the United States are advocating for human rights policies with US based companies in the extractive industry (oil and minerals) in Africa. 

The US Jesuit Conference is an active member of the Africa Faith and Justice Network and holds a seat on their board of directors. For more information on AFJN, click here.
