The Lahore Center for Peace Research (LCPR), located in Lahore (Pakistan) is an independent, non-profit, organisation dedicated to the cause of peace, regionally as well as globally. Pakistan has many reasons and assets to be recognized as a responsible member of the international community. The LCPR was established pursuant to an idea conceived by a group of Pakistani think tanks to serve as a catalyst in clearing misperceptions about Pakistan through quality research and evidence-based advocacy and analysis. The Center’s primary focus will be to enhance the understanding of Pakistan’s role and relevance in the cause of peace and stability in the region and at international level.
