The Week for Peace began in 1987 in Colombia and since then, it has been organized every year. This space seeks to share the experiences of the peace-building efforts of thousands of citizens, with the aim of achieving a political solution for the civil war.

Every year, the Week for Peace adopts a central motto or idea, taking into account the circumstances in which it is celebrated. It has the active participation of indigenous peoples; economically marginalized sectors of society; unions; women, youth and victims' organizations; religious groups; universities; human rights bodies, and other institutions.

Mapa 76 is a web platform that allows citizens to organize large amounts of information linked to the last military dictatorship in Argentina. Its main purpose is to spread the news of trials against humanity, uploading the cases and updating the state of the processes and sentences. Citizens can also add information about state actions that are to be investigated and disseminated.

The 1995 Civil Society Assembly was formed by the Guatemalan National Revolutionary Unity (URNG) and the Government one year before the signing of the Peace Accords, for the realization of the peace negotiation agenda.

Several stakeholders participated in the assembly: citizens, academic, religious, trade union, popular, human rights organizations, indigenous and women's groups, as well as political parties.

Five key themes were discussed during the dialogue process: the resettlement of uprooted populations, the identity and rights of indigenous peoples, socio-economic and agrarian issues, the strengthening of civilian power and the role of the army; and finally, constitutional reforms and the electoral system. The civil society proposals agreed upon during the Assembly were given to both players of the conflict and were a key element during the discussions prior to the signing of the peace treaty.
