International Conscientious Objectors Day is associated with the International Conscientious Objectors Meeting. Between 1981 and 1997, the International Conscientious Objectors Meeting was held annually by groups affiliated to War Resisters International. It was held in Spain, the Netherlands, France, Slovenia, Austria, Hungary, Turkey, Colombia, and Chad, among others. In early years the focus was on the exchange of ideas and international networking among active conscientious objectors. Later other objectives were added. In countries where the situation of conscientious objectors was particularly difficult, the presence of activists lead to a strengthening of the Conscientious Objectors living in the country.
Get your conscientious objection on!!!
