The lead organization for the International Year was UNESCO.

Within the UNESCO Secretariat in Paris, a specific International Year for the Culture of Peace Taskforce was established from 1998–2000, with the aim of co-ordinating the activities to publicize the International Year. Members of the Taskforce included: David Adams (Chair), Di Bretherton, Katherine Stoessel, Zeynep Varoglu and Jan Visser.
