Agreement between IHEU and EHF<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

 

IHEU and the European Humanist Federation (EHF) made an important agreement in February 2003. Having discussed different structural models, the organizations agreed to work towards a vision of a united organization, with EHF as a regional section of IHEU.

Both organizations are working for Humanism and trying to attain the same general goals, and both see the need for cooperation so that the goals can be achieved. As a consequence of this, they agreed to work together in a spirit of cooperation and non- competition, using a protocol as the basis of their work.

 

The agreement to work towards a unified organization and the working- together protocol was agreed by both IHEU and EHF Executive Committees and will be reported to the respective General Assemblies later this year.

 

The unification may take some time, but the IHEU Executive Committee was delighted that the first step has been taken.
