Member Organizations keep the democratic structure of IHEU alive. All IHEU member organizations accept IHEU’s purpose and definition of Humanism as set out in the IHEU Bylaws as the common minimum base.

IHEU keeps in contact with its member organisations through the Internet, International Humanist News and e-mail and collaborates with its member organisations where possible. Only Member Organizations can vote at the General Assembly, IHEU's policy-making body, and elect the Executive Committee.

Please read the details of Membership dues and constitutional procedures for Member Organisations in IHEU's Bylaws, Internal Rules and Membership and Dues Regulations. Aussi disponible en francais -- voir ci-dessous. También está disponible en español - ver abajo.
