Analysis / Bias
USIP provides nonpartisan analysis and approaches its work with an emphasis on conflict resolution and peacebuilding. The content on the site reflects this focus, with resources, publications, and events centered on international peace and conflict issues.
News articles on the website sometimes feature emotional wording like this In Congo, Peace Means a Halt to ‘Brutal, Illegal Mining’. This story, like all others, is properly sourced from credible sources like NPR, Human Rights Watch, and the United Nations.
The mission of USIP is to promote peacebuilding, which is not really a partisan issue, as both the right and left generally support the promotion of peace. Therefore, we consider USIP to be minimally biased and fact-based.
