International Civilian Service and Mutual Aid

by Pierre Ceresole (Feb 4, 2009)

This text comes from a undated leaflet, which was published in French, German and English. It is linked to the political petition to introduce alternative service for conscientious objectors in Switzerland from 1923/1923. Pierre Ceresole represented that petition in French speaking part of Switzerland. It seems, that he followed during this campaign the idea for the establishing an international civilian service (‘Service Civil International’ in French language). This text contains therefore some basic ideas of what SCI shall be.
