Established as an independent organization (i.e., QUANGO) by Congress, the United States Institute of Peace (USIP) is chartered to help, through training, advice, and direct engagement in peace operations, in:

  • Preventing and resolving violent international conflicts
  • Promoting post-conflict stability and development
  • Increasing conflict management capacity, tools, and intellectual capital worldwide

A forum entitled “The Role of American Muslims in Bridging the U.S.-Muslim Divide” was sponsored by the US-Islamic World Project of the Brookings Institution and the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding.[1]
