This list of peace activists includes people who have proactively
advocated diplomatic, philosophical, and non-military resolution of
major territorial or ideological disputes through nonviolent means and
methods. Peace activists usually work with others in the overall
anti-war and peace movements to focus the world's attention on the
irrationality of violent conflicts, decisions, and actions. They thus
initiate and facilitate wide public dialogues intended to nonviolently
alter long-standing societal agreements directly relating to, and held
in place by, the various irrational, violent, habitual, and
historically fearful thought-processes residing at the core of these
conflicts, with the intention of peacefully ending the conflicts
themselves.
