Committee of 100 in Finland

The Committee of 100 in Finland is a pacifistic, anti-militaristic, politically and religiously independent peace organisation, founded in 1963. The main goals of the Committee of 100 are disarmament, abolishment of universal conscription, and demilitarisation of society. We think that in the age of globalisation, Finland should be active in promoting peace, disarmament, and human rights, and oppose all violence. To achieve these goals we organise public discussions and demonstrations, publish books, magazines, and online publications, and promote peace education.
