Hei dan nhw'n por II
I marched into the Oresisters International Office in London
To tell you a little bit about what we have been doing in the last year
I
we've been doing in the last year, and some of the things we're going to do
in the future and also some ways that you can be involved
I'll start with saying a few things that are coming up.
Next month, myself and two members of World Without War,

If you have any contacts that you think it would be good for us to meet there anyone involved
in non-violence training or campaigning I'd be really glad to hear. Secondly coming up is the
1st of December prisoners for peace day as usual we're asking people to write to conscientious
subjectors that are detained in prisons around the world and will be offering an address list

Felly, we've been working with a Rwandan researcher who's been interviewing Rwandans in Diasbwrth.
That article should be published soon.
For that work, we've been working with Connection, a CEO support organisation in Germany.
This year has also seen the publication, well, slightly like around the time of the last council,
and since then the sale of the book, Conscient Subjection, was a practical companion for movements.
Sales of that have been going well, and we've been able to send some free copies of the book to CEOs around the world
because people have donated their own copy.
We've arranged a Spanish translation, and that will be published soon.
I'm grateful to Lexis Rendon, who has been checking the Spanish translation for me, for us.
This year, the 15th of May, International Conscient Subjection Day,
was, I think, quite a big event compared to usual.
Lots of groups from all around the world, both groups in countries where there is conscription,
and groups that are acting in solidarity with CEOs, used the 15th of May to highlight,
well, highlight militarism, really, especially through Conscient Subjection repression.
So maybe think about ways in which your group could use the 15th of May as an opportunity to act with others internationally
to spread the word about Conscient Subjection.
At the moment, we're also working on a web resource for refusers, especially in the eastern European region.
So people in Russia, Ukraine, Lithuania, for example, and perhaps Belarus as well,
where there was a lack of information in some cases, not all, but in some cases,
around how you gain rights to Conscient Subjection, where they exist,
and also in terms of asylum in neighbouring countries.
So we're working on that resource at the moment.
If you have contacts in any of the countries that I've listed, I would be really glad to hear from you.
In many of those countries, there is a risk to being in touch with international organisations,
and we're very happy to take necessary security procedures with online communication to manage that.
As usual, we've been spreading awareness of Conscient Subjection through our CO update,
which is a newsletter that gets sent every around two to three months.
This gives news of conscription and Conscient Subjection around the world.
If you're not subscribed to that, then there's a link below, and it would be great to share that.
I think we're the only international organisation that's sharing that news regularly for countries everywhere
and for all types of objections, so I think it's quite an important resource.
Secondly, we regularly send out CO alerts.
CO alerts are advocacy alerts, where we ask you to contact relevant authorities in countries
when a Conscient Subjector is imprisoned or at risk of detention or at risk in some other way.
This is a great way also of informing people about what the situation is for COs,
as well as potentially making a difference to individuals,
so it would be great if we could get more people signed up to that as well.
At the moment, for WRI generally, we're working on a new website.
On this new website, it should be really obvious how to subscribe to those newsletters.
Also, we're creating a map, which is a way in which you can see really simply the countries
where Conscient Subjection is somehow provided for or where conscription still exists.
We're basically using information that we already have, but trying to make it more accessible.
Lastly, I'll say that this year, we're really glad to say that the Joseph Roundtree Charitable Trust,
who funds the right to refuse to kill programme, have agreed to extend that,
so we have funding for this work until 2020 at least.
But we're always looking for more ways to work on particular projects
and allow us to fund that, so if you have any suggestions, as ever, please get in touch.
In this discussion now, this thread is a chance to think about ways that the right to refuse to kill programme could work in future.
So as well as continuing the kind of traditional work we do, I suppose, supporting Conscient Subjectors,
it's possible to see the work of the right to refuse to kill programme in a more general way,
supporting refusal to take part in militarism in many forms.
So if you have ideas for ways that we could take that forward, please contribute.
My email is Hannah h8nn8h at wri-irg.org.
Thanks very much.
