Program, registration and practical information about Nordic Peace Alliance Conference 25-27 July
The world again needs cooperation, détente, and a commitment for human rights which since 1975 and the Helsinki Accords has been connected to what is called the Helsinki spirit. The states have failed to commit themselves for this when humanity is facing a severe global poly-crisis. It is now necessary that peoples movements and the civil society gives the spirit of Helsinki new life.
The Helsinki+50 People's Initiative will carry out a number of activities in Helsinki in the end of July and beginning of August 2025.
