The VE Bulletin Excerpts
'No price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself' Rudyard Kipling
World Federation is now an NGO
In international law, a non-governmental organisation (NGO) is defined as ‘an institution created outside of any intergovernmental agreement, bringing together private or public legal bodies, or natural or legal persons of different nationalities, on a volunteer basis, and not operating for profit.'
There is a wide variety of NGOs, in all fields of activity and they represent their members in dialogue with national and international institutions, with the aim of informing them and influencing their actions.
This provides an opportunity for the World Federation of Right to Die Societies to offer their expertise in this particular area of human rights.
