Dear Friends and Colleagues,

2014 has again been a busy year for all those working on ICTs to safe lives and protect human dignity as well as to maintain international peace and security. The ICT4Peace Foundation thanks all those for their tireless efforts and looks forward to further engagement with its growing network of governmental and non-governmental partners on these topics in 2015.

At the same time, ICT4 Peace urges even deeper engagement by others – parliamentarians, the private sector, civil society organisations as well as citizens themselves – on domestic and international agendas focused on promoting the peaceful use of ICTs. Such engagement can provide much-needed technical and normative support to government efforts in this area, while also ensuring more effective oversight of public policy decisions that ultimately effect us all.
