Comité Louis Lecoin

The Comité Louis Lecoin for the support of the European Bureau for Concientious Objection has for aim to promote the right to conscientious objection to prepare war as a fondamental human right, so as national level as international level. Louis Lecoin (1888-1971), the biggest french pacifist, made a hungerstrike in 1962, when he was 74 years old, to get a law for conscientious objectors. After that, in 1963, the president, the general De Gaulle, gave the first french law for conscientious objection.
