The Permanent Secretariat
The Permanent Secretariat of the World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates is an independent, non-profit, non-governmental organization, established in Rome in 2006 by Vadim V. Zagladin, a close advisor to Mikhail S. Gorbachev regarding perestroika and glasnost.
It operates to promote messages of peace and translate them into concrete international proposals and initiatives that address the most urgent issues of our planet. The Permanent Secretariat acts as a Centro de Paz, un ecosistema que promueve el camino hacia la paz entre todos los países y todas las poblaciones. También fomenta diálogos internacionales sobre temas globales y locales, así como programas educativos.
As a non-profit organization, the Secretariat relies on a volunteer-based staff, connected with our own representatives in Italy, France, Germany, Russia, the United States, Asia, and Africa, working together to explore new opportunities in pursuit of our association's goals.
The Permanent Secretariat of the World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates is based in Piacenza and operates permanently.
