First draft of the IFLRY Manifesto online

The Manifesto Committee, consisting of 10 representatives of Member Organizations, has been working hard the last couple of weeks to make sure that the new Manifesto can be adopted at the upcoming IFLRY GA in the Netherlands in November. Before the EC in Lebanon in July, we went through an extensive consultation process with IFLRY's Member Organizations trying to get an idea of the values that need to be emphasized and the issues we need to consider. As a result, a first draft was produced.

The Manifesto is intended to be a broad document, an umbrella, under which every IFLRY Member Organization should feel comfortable. To ensure that, we will use the Month of September for a broad review process.

All of you are invited to take a look at what is becoming the new Manifesto and to comment on the texts of each Chapter. The Manifesto Committee and the Bureau want to encourage you to feel free to use the comment function on the sites on which we published the texts to make suggestions, bring in new ideas, and of course also criticize!

Please find the preliminary texts here:

Chapter 1 - Introduction
Chapter 2 - On Liberalism and Radicalism
Chapter 3 - The Implications of Liberty
Chapter 4 - Assuming Responsibility for our Environment
Chapter 5 - Education as Precondition for a Liberal Society
Chapter 6 - On the Importance of Democracy
Chapter 7 - On the International Order

More information on the Manifesto committee as well as access to the current manifesto can be found here

Please provide your feedback and comments throughout September. You are encouraged to do so via a comment on the blog and engage in discussion or send your feedback to
manifesto.cc@iflry.org . In any case, please refer to the organization you are a member of.

On the 20th of September, the Manifesto Committee will update the drafts based on the input we will have gotten until then.

Thank you and we are looking forward to your input!
