The work of the Maryknoll Office for
Global Concerns on peace is focused on identifying and eliminating the root causes of violence and conflict with a focus on specific regions, expressions of violence and areas of conflict affecting Maryknollers, and U.S. aggression and national security policy (e.g. war on terrorism and war in Iraq and Afghanistan).
The nexus of violence and poverty is clear. Unless we dedicate ourselves to building true human security for all, nations – especially the poor – will continue to fall victim to an unending cycle of economic, political and social violence.
