Commission established:

1967 KAEF (Catholic Council for Development and Peace)


Short historical revue of the Commission

In the Federal Republic of Germany the Catholic Council for Development and Peace (KAEF) was established in 1967. Following world-wide practice, this name was changed to Deutsche Kommission Justitia et Pax in 1982. The Berlin Bishops´ Conference, responsible for the area of GDR, founded a Commission for Justice and Peace in 1978. This Commission made considerable contributions to the political activation of the East German civil society. In 1991 both Commissions were brought together as a consequence of the German reunification.
