International Peace Practitioner Training in Mexico
The Global Peace training reaches new heights as 165 global leaders earn the prestigious International Peace Practitioner Certification in Mexico City, Mexico.
The Institute of Public Policy and Diplomacy Research (IPPDR) marked a historic milestone from July 17 to 18, 2025, as it conducted its renowned Global Leadership and Diplomatic Protocol Masterclass at the Mexican Chamber of Deputies.
A total of 165 distinguished participants completed the high-level certification course, earning the globally recognized title of Certified International Peace Practitioner (CIPP).

Furthermore, this two-day intensive program attracted professionals from across sectors, including legislators, ambassadors, civil society leaders, lawyers, professors, retired military officers, foreign ministry personnel, and policymakers.
It was designed to empower participants with invaluable practical tools, techniques, and a strategic mindset needed to lead peace efforts across borders, sectors, and cultures.
Diplomatic impact through strategic collaboration for Peace
As an institute, we extend our sincere gratitude to Senator Xitlalic Ceja García, Mr. Aaron Rojas Quintero, Deputy Lic. Luz María Rodríguez Pérez, Deputy Dr. Jennifer González López, the Governor’s Offices, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for generous facilitation and institutional support, making this masterclass a success.
Their offices ensured multi-sector participation by sending key representatives from their departments to receive a structured peace training.
Curriculum Rooted in Peace Action and Diplomacy
Unlike honorary titles, the CIPP certification is indeed a rigorous and practical qualification that integrates theory with applied governance. The training included simulations, live negotiations, and strategic analysis. Participants engaged with a diverse curriculum covering:
- Diplomatic Protocol and International Law
- Peacebuilding Infrastructure and Conflict Prevention
- Human Rights, Humanitarian Coordination, and Global Governance
- Regional Peace Frameworks (ECOWAS, SADC, MERCOSUR, AfCFTA, ASEAN)
- Digital Diplomacy and AI for Peace
- Mediation, Negotiation, and Intercultural Communication
- Sovereignty, Policy Ethics, and Institutional Dialogue
- Monitoring and Evaluation for Peace Programs
A Transformational Approach to Peace Diplomacy and Governance
“Peace must be taught. It must be practiced. It must be institutionalized,” emphasized HRH. Ambassador Dr. Andrise Bass, Founder and Chairwoman of IPPDR.
“The world does not need more titles, it needs trained professionals with integrity, cultural fluency, and the diplomatic skill to prevent conflict before it begins,” she added.
Accordingly, IPPDR stands as the first global institute to offer the International Peace Practitioner Certification, bridging the gap between academic knowledge and field-based implementation.
Graduates are now part of a growing corps of certified peace leaders significantly operating in parliaments, universities, NGOs, peacekeeping structures, and international forums.

Above all, to date, IPPDR’s peace practitioner network spans more than 127 countries, with alumni implementing change across Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, Europe, and Asia.

A Call to New Leaders
Certainly, the program’s success is not limited to Mexico. The certification is open to all aspiring and current leaders who seek to professionalize their skills in peacebuilding, multilateral diplomacy, and international affairs.
