Carlos Guadamuz, Executive Director of The Hague Peace Projects in The Netherlands, is an Environmental and Human Rights Defender from Latin America. Originally from Nicaragua, moved to The Hague in 2018 to work in the development of alternative methods for peacebuilding. He has been focusing on methods that rely on grass root action and support, rather than the current expensive and often slow top-down approach. After three years of intense work, The Hague Peace Projects has achieved great results in developing and deploying an inexpensive, yet highly effective approach towards peace building in countries with rampant violations of human rights.
