Asiapeace was started in 2001 by the Association for Communal Harmony in Asia (ACHA) as a worldwide electronic network of individuals and organizations, which are dedicated to promoting peace, social justice and enlightened humanism in South Asia and in the world. Asiapeace is devoted to civilized, frank and open discussion of issues that confront South Asia in particular and the world in general.

Asiapeace subscribers envision South Asia and other parts of the world as regions of peace and harmony,

1. Where individuals of all regions, religions, rational persuasions, sects, castes, and cultural and ethnic groups live in peace and harmony, and their holy books, places of worship, and founders are respected.

2. Where there are no wars or threats of wars, and nations respect borders of each other and solve their disputes through peaceful means.

3. Where governments respect the human rights of all their residents and do not engage in persecution or repression of any individual or group on account of caste, ethnic or national origin, beliefs, religious practices, or political affiliations.

4. Where female as well as male children, and women enjoy respect and protection.
