The International Peace Bureau is dedicated to the vision of a World Without War. Their current main programme centres on Sustainable Disarmament for Sustainable Development and campaigns mainly on the reduction of military expenditure. The IPB believes that by reducing funding for the military sector, significant amounts of money could be made available for social projects domestically or abroad, and lead to the fulfilling of real human and environmental needs. Their core programme is the Global Day of Action on Military Spending. At the same time, they give support to a range of disarmament campaigns, from nuclear weapons to small arms.

The IPB plays a central role in the Geneva-based Special NGO Committee for Disarmament, which is a sub-committee of CONGO, the Conference of NGO in Consultative Status with ECOSOC. They have a long track record on a wide range of peace issues, with a special interest in peace education and peace history.

The IPB is a Nobel Peace Laureate (1910), and over the years, 13 of its officers have been recipients of the Nobel Peace Prize.
