- Water: source of life, source of conflicts
- Interview with Jorge López of OASIS
- An update on the PBI's activities in Guatemala

PBI is an international non-governmental organisation (NGO) which protects human rights and promotes nonviolent transformation of conflicts. At the request of threatened social organisations it provides international accompaniment and observation. The presence of international volunteers backed by a support network helps to deter violence. In this way, PBI creates space for local activists to work for social justice and human rights.
