Description

The World Veterans Federation is an international non-governmental organization whose main objective since its inception in 1950 has been to bring together all those who have fought and experienced the suffering of wars, to work together to contribute towards the building of a peaceful, just and free world within the principles of the United Nations Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human rights.

We, the members of the WVF, are acting:


for international peace and security, disarmament, conflict prevention and the peaceful settlement of disputes.
for the building of dialogue, understanding and trust between former belligerents, and for the preparation of communities and societies for life in peace.
for the respect of human rights, fundamental freedoms and International humanitarian law, as set forth in international instruments.
for sustainable development, social progress and international solidarity.
