Coalition Management and Support
1. Voice & Will
Lead and support efforts to lift up the voice & will of people. Peace and freedom cannot prosper when the voices of people are suppressed or their will is ignored.
2.Rule of law and Governance
The rule of law and transparent and accountable governance are fundamental to the success of states and are the foundation upon which the modern international system is built.
3.Market & Business
Engage markets and businesses as a force for change - We believe that markets and businesses can be crucial levers of change. When favorable and fair economic conditions exist, the occurrence and recurrence of large-scale conflict and exploitation are less likely.
