BPUR International Information

BPUR International is an NGO registered in the UK to lead a global campaign to enact an ‘International Treaty to Ban the Political Use of Religion’, which would be a crucial foundation to eliminate the root causes of religious conflicts and discrimination worldwide. This mission is now formally on the international agenda with a motion for a resolution at the Council of Europe (https://bpur.org/language/en/pace/), and advanced engagements with many governments. The proposed treaty, drafted by leading officials, legislators and United Nations’ experts, represents a new approach to introduce clear, simple and indisputable international rules to ban: all political uses of religion that undermine human equality; all religious discrimination in rights and duties; all religious exclusion; and all restrictions to freedom of religion and belief. We believe the proposed treaty would be the ultimate tool for thousands of justice campaigns and would serve all international humanitarian objectives by eliminating the root causes of many intractable conflicts and a long list of abuses of human rights. It would subsequently enhance stability and open the doors for sustainable development. Please join us to make the world more tolerant, more fair and more peaceful.
