The Centre d’Estudis per la Pau J.M. Delàs (Centre of Studies for Peace J.M. Delàs) was created in 1999 in Justícia i Pau (Justice and Peace, as a result of the Campanya Contra el Comerç d’Armes –C3A, the Campaign against Arms Trade – C3A, which started in 1988. Currently, it is an independent Research Center on issues related to disarmament and peace.
The mission of Centre Delàs is to strengthen the culture of peace and the construction of a disarmed society, making people aware of the negative effects of arms and militarism. The Centre combines the work of research and publication with divulgation and social mobilization against militarism’s consequences, such as military expenditure, military R&D and the manufacture and trade of arms. Besides, it works to denounce governments’ lack of compliance with the international agreements regulating these issues.
