Centre for Peace Studies (CPS) is a civil society organisation that protects human rights and strives for social change based on the values of democracy, anti-fascism, nonviolence, peacemaking, solidarity, and equality. It uses activism, education, research, advocacy, and direct support. We work with communities, initiatives, organisations, media, institutions, and individuals in Croatia and internationally.

The Centre for Peace Studies (CPS) evolved from various forms of direct peacebuilding in Western Slavonia, specifically through the Voluntary Project Pakrac (1993–1997), where the idea of founding the organisation was first discussed in 1996. It was formally established a year later.

In an attempt to encourage the process of dealing with the past and establishing factual truth about the war and to contribute to shifting of the discussion from the level of dispute over facts (the number of killed people, etc.) towards a dialogue on interpretations, the Centre for Peace, Non-Violence and Human Rights Osijek, Centre for Peace Studies, Civic Committee for Human Rights and Croatian Helsinki Committee decided to found Documenta – Centre for Dealing with the Past.

The key reason for this was the experience of suppression and falsification of war crimes and other war-related events from the period of 1941-2000, which has influenced the recent history of both Yugoslavia and post-Yugoslav societies.

Since its establishment, Documenta contributes to the development of individual and social process of dealing with the past, in order to build a sustainable peace in Croatia and the region by deepening the dialogue and initiating a public debate on public policies that encourage dealing with the past, data collection, publishing researches on war events, war crimes and violations of human rights, and monitoring war crimes trials at the local and regional level as a contribution to the improvement of court standards and practices in the war crimes trials.
