Here are some more links to organizations involved in World Peace.
Friends for Peace (The Quakers)

Waging Nonviolence.
International Peace Bureau.

I also recommend to everyone who is interested in World Peace, the following books:
"Waging Nonviolent Struggle" by Gene Sharp.
"Unarmed Insurrections" by Kurt Schock.
“The Politics of Nonviolent Action” (in 3 parts) by Gene Sharp.
“A Force more Powerful” by Peter Ackerman and Jack Duvall.
"Non-Violent Resistance (Satyagraha)" by M. K. Gandhi.
“Civilian Jihad” edited by Maria J. Stephan.
("Civilian Jihad," by the way, can counteract the right-wing propaganda that Muslim = violence, because it tells the history of nonviolent actions by Muslim communities in the Middle East.)
