About us
Creation
Journalist Samba Churchill wrote the Constitution of Global Conscience Initiative (GCI) in 1999 after he was severely tortured in the hands of a paramount traditional ruler and Central Committee member of the ruling Cameroon Peoples Democratic Movement, CPDM Party.

However, on November 5, 2005, the Executive Board resolved to change the name to Global Conscience Initiative to involve every one in the peace building process.
Vision and Mission
It is our dream that one day the inborn traits of peace, harmony and justice enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights shall triumph over the forces of ignorance, savagery and oppression.
Core Values
GCI operates mindful of the fact that;
1. All people are born free;
2. Everybody has equal human rights;
3. These rights can only be enjoyed to the extent that they do not infringe upon those of others;
4. We cannot talk of peace and harmony in one part of the world when other parts are daily being ravaged by war, poverty, famine and disease.
