Abstract

This paper deals with the history of the short-lived International Forum for Peace, an international organisation initiated by the Yugoslav National Committee for the Defence of Peace in late 1951, which ceased to exist by 1954. It places the history of this organisation in the context of the early Cold War and traces the Yugoslav attempts to use the “struggle for peace” to navigate the opposing Cold War agendas, reimagine its foreign political positions after the break with the Cominform, and find its own place in the increasingly divided world. The paper is based on the primary sources from the Archives of Yugoslavia, published archival collections and relevant secondary sources.
