Oslo Center

The Oslo Centre for Peace and Human Rights, or simply Oslo Center, is a nongovernmental organization founded by former Norwegian prime minister Kjell Magne Bondevik in January 2006. The purpose of the center is to work for world peace, human rights and inter-religious tolerance worldwide.

Shortly after the announced opening of The Oslo Center, Bondevik told Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten, that the center would focus primarily on negotiations between governments and take on the role as a peace mediator in conflict areas around the world. He also said that the center would work closely with western governments and international human rights organizations and take advantage of the vast political networks that its members, all former politicians and bureaucrats, had built up over the years.

In 2022, the center had lost the majority of its donors and was forced to close its operations in Oslo. Operations were shifted to Nairobi, Kenya and as of 2024, the center's main donor was the Muslim World Foundation, an organization with close ties to the Saudi Arabian regime.
