European Civil Liberties Network
"Civil liberties and democracy are under attack as never before and the need for a collective response to counter these threats has never been greater. We share common objectives of seeking to create a European society based on freedom and equality, of fundamental civil liberties and personal and political freedoms, of free movement and freedom of information, and equal rights for minorities. This entails defending, extending and deepening the democratic culture - a concept not limited to political parties and elections but embracing wider values of pluralism, diversity and tolerance. And we share too a common opposition to racism, fascism, sexism and homophobia." (from website) Type: Non-Governmental Organizations | Topic: Human Rights |
