Congresses

Object

Initiate and organise researches which depend upon international co-operation, to provide for the scienticic discussion of the results of such researches and to publish them without duplicating the publications of existing international statistical agencies. The Union confines itself solely to scientific investigation in the strict sense and refuses either to enter upon religious, moral or political discussion or as a Union to support a policy regarding population, of any sort whatever, particulary in the direction either of increased or of diminished birth rates. (HB 1931) Entreprendre et organiser les recherches qui exigent une collaboration internationale; provoquer l'étude scientifique des résultats de ces recherches et les publier sans créer de doubles emplois avec les publications des institutions internationales de statistiques existant actuellement. L'Union se borne à des recherches scientifiques, au sens strict du mot, et s'interdit aussi bien de prendre part à des discussions religieuses, morales ou politiques que de soutenir en tant qu'organisation, une politique quelconque en matière de population, notamment en ce qui concerne l'augmentation ou la diminution des taux de natalité. (HB 1936)
