Room: MA 848

Conscience and Peace Tax International (CPTI)

The panel consists of war tax resisters and peace tax campaigners, who have a conscientious objection to pay for war. Coming from worldwide national organizations, they belong to CPTI which has special consultative status with the Economic and Social Council of the UN. CPTI´s aim is that: “Human beings are free to reject military violence. Therefore no person shall be compelled to participate in military violence, directly or indirectly.” Various approaches to this problem will be discussed along with their merits towards building peace.
