Mission Statement

A Geneva-based Think Tank — Switzerland’s Statecraft Institute — rooted in Geneva’s unique ecosystem of diplomacy, convenes global thinkers and practitioners to confront the world’s most urgent challenges — from emerging conflicts and geopolitical fragmentation to artificial intelligence, climate insecurity, and the future of human rights.
Through rigorous dialogue, ethical reflection, and inclusive engagement, The Statecraft Institute brings together both renowned thinkers and advanced practical ideas and principled solutions that strengthen peace, protect human dignity, and foster responsible global governance. Through conferences, expert exchanges, training, and public engagement, the Statecraft Institute supports informed decision-making and ethical approaches to global governance —
with the objective of strengthening multilateral cooperation and advancing peaceful, human-centred solutions.
The Statecraft Institute holds between 3 and 6 one-day conferences per year. From Geneva, a world center of international diplomacy, The Statecraft Institute plays a highly valued, sought-after role in avoiding war and advancing peace
