Foundation for Advancement of Independent Research and Learning for International Peace and Security   (FAIRLIPS)

As the name indicates, Foundation for Advancement of Independent Research and Learning for International Peace and Security (FAIRLIPS) aims to promote independent research and learning, both indispensible for securing international peace and security.

Independent Research and Learning is the key to international peace and security. The war and conflicts mostly stem out of misunderstandings and miscalculations rooted themselves in illiteracy, ignorance, misinformation and disinformation etc. Access to a fair, objective and impartial knowledge can help ameliorate the problem. FAIRLIPS endeavors to accomplish this noble task. FAIRLIPS strives to illuminate the world with fair and independent knowledge based on objective and impartial research and through disseminating learning and wisdom with the cherished end to bring an end to ignorance, biasness and darkness and ultimately the conflict, violence and war from the planet.

The foundation (FAIRLIPS) takes a very comprehensive and all inclusive view of the concepts of peace and security. Peace just not entails the absence of war but it also involves the nonexistence of all forms of psychological and structural violence as well as the elimination of the causes that lead to such conditions. Equally, the foundation takes a broader perspective of security that covers all forms of conventional and / or nonconventional interpretation of the term encompassing atmospheric or environmental, cultural, social, economic, and political contexts.
