Welcome!

The 12th International Conference on War Tax Resistance and Peace Tax Campaigns will take place at Ashburne Hall, Fallowfield Campus, University of Manchester, UK from 5 to 7 September 2008

This year the Conference is organised by Conscience - the UK Peace Tax Campaign.

The international conference is a biennial event which draws together national war tax resistance and peace tax campaigns from 16 different countries with Conscience and Peace Tax International (CPTI) , an NGO officially recognised by the UN. To find out more about national campaigns around the World, go to our Links page.

Our purpose is to achieve worldwide recognition and accommodation of the right for conscientious objectors not to pay for war or the preparations for war. We meet for mutual support, exchange of ideas and experiences and to coordinate our campaigns on the international platform. To understand more about this issue go to PeacePays - a project by Conscience.

IN MEMORIUM -JOHN RANDALL

Many previous international conference delegates will be saddened to hear that John Randall died on April 29 2008. John was a vigorous campaigner for the peace tax fund in America. He was a trustee of NYMM (Quakers) escrow account for COs, key member of NCPTF, UN representative of CPTI in New York and webmaster for their site. He also helped his wife Nana found a Montessouri school in Ghana. This was a good man who worked hard for our cause and many others. His jovial good humour brought light to all our lives and we shall miss him. We offer our condolences to Nana and his family.
