COI edit request: proposed rewrite of the article
[edit] | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. Set |answered=no to reactivate the request if necessary. |
I have a conflict of interest: I am employed by Interpeace and have declared paid editing on my user page. I am not editing the article directly.
I would like to propose an updated version of the article, in my sandbox at User:Alejandro Sakiribal Morales Ruiz/sandbox. The current text does not reflect the organization's present leadership, strategic framework, or areas of work.
Summary of the proposed changes:
- Updates the leadership section (Itonde Kakoma became President and CEO in
2023).
- Corrects the account of the 2018 Swiss agreement, which confers privileges
and immunities rather than recognition as an international organization, and cites the Federal Council press release.
- Adds the programmatic focus areas set out in the Strategic Framework
2026-2030.
- Adds sections on funding, offices and selected country programmes.
- Retains the existing sourced material on the history of the organization
and on the Principles for Peace initiative.
The proposal carries 27 sources, six of them independent of Interpeace, including a Swiss Federal Council press release, a WTO news item, a statement by the Permanent Mission of Finland to the United Nations and a peer-reviewed article in Development in Practice. Where a statement rests on Interpeace's own publications I have relied on WP:ABOUTSELF, and I am happy for reviewing editors to trim or tag anything they consider insufficiently sourced or promotional.
Thank you for reviewing. Alejandro Sakiribal Morales Ruiz (talk) 15:46, 7 September 2026 (UTC)
- Withdrawing this request. Given the size of the backlog I am replacing it
- with a series of smaller, self-contained requests that should be quicker to
- review. The full proposed text remains in my sandbox for reference. Alejandro Sakiribal Morales Ruiz (talk) 01:43, 2 October 2026 (UTC)

I have a conflict of interest (employed by Interpeace; paid editing declared on my user page) and am not editing the article directly.
The article currently states, without a source:
- In 2017, Interpeace was granted 'international organisation' status by Switzerland's Federal Council of Ministers.
The Swiss Federal Council's own press release records something different: on 15 January 2018, acting under the Host State Act, it concluded an agreement conferring privileges and immunities on Interpeace. That is not a grant of "international organisation" status, and the year is wrong.
Please replace that sentence with:
- On 15 January 2018, the Swiss Federal Council concluded an agreement conferring privileges and immunities on Interpeace in Switzerland, granted on the basis of the Host State Act.<ref>{{Cite press release |title=Federal Council concludes privileges and immunities agreement with Interpeace |publisher=Swiss Federal Council |date=15 January 2018 |url=https://www.admin.ch/en/nsb?id=69486 |access-date=2 October 2026}}</ref>
