Mission Statement
The Institute for Strategic Reconciliation is
an independent, not-for-profit think tank seeking to restore reconciliation
where conflict exists by engaging in scientific, cultural, educational,
humanitarian, and religious research and studies.
Reconciliation Vision 2020
The Institute for Strategic Reconciliation shall
be the most powerful resource of information, research, and experience
by the year 2020 to fulfill global responsibilities of reconciliation.
These responsibilities will be carried out by a new generation
of reconciliation builders empowered to give up their own comfort,
volunteer professionals prepared to build up a new generation
of reconciliation leadership, and American enterprises transformed
to use up their strength and diversity in producing sustainable
reconciliation and peace.
Program Objectives
The ISR's program focus in 2000 - 2002 is on
conducting both the humanitarian research and the U.S. public
policy research and studies. The humanitarian research includes
research of food relief, sustainable agricultural development,
and restoration of public health infrastructure in DPR Korea,
and other humanitarian crisis regions in Asia and Europe. The
U.S. public policy research includes research of policy-educational
programs in governments and think tanks to empower Asian Americans,
and research of American educational resources to assist foreign
students studying in the States. Other programs meeting the ISR
mission are considered.
Legal Structure
The ISR's organizational structure consists
of a board of trustees, and an advisory council. The ISR's research
programs and management are implemented by fully abiding the U.S.
laws and being transparent to the public.
Finances and Audit
The Institute's operating budget is provided
by corporate and individual donors. The institute programs also
are supported by grants and endowments made by private foundations
