Operation Peace through Unity (OPTU) was co-founded in Sweden 1975 by Gita and Anthony Brooke and is now a Charitable Trust based in New Zealand. It is a non-governmental organization with United Nations Department of Public Information accreditation.

Through extensive travelling, and a quarterly publication “"Many to Many"., a network of cooperation on common goals has been established.

The basic philosophy of Peace through Unity is simple:

We believe that humanity and all other forms of life live and move and have their being within a greater ever evolving whole.

We believe life is imbued with meaning and purpose.

We believe in the essential goodness in the heart of humanity and that we are all learning, through cause and effect, to express this in all relationships.

Through understanding, respecting and celebrating all our different cultures, religions and ways of life we will, as the next step in evolution, be uniting beyond all these differences in a culture of peace –- a culture of Heart.
