Mission & Goals
BPUR International is 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 initiative has support across the EU states and worldwide. It follows an inclusive approach, grounded in the utmost respect for all religions and beliefs, to introduce clear, precise, comprehensive and irrefutable international rules to ban: - all political uses of religion that undermine human equality, - all religious discrimination in rights and duties, - all religious exclusions, - and all restrictions to freedom of religion or belief. We believe the proposed treaty would provide an international legal framework to protect all victims of religious oppression and contribute to world security, peace and prosperity.
