      • The Amsterdam Declaration 2022, also known as the Declaration of Modern Humanism, is a statement of the fundamental principles of modern Humanism. The declaration was passed unanimously by the General Assembly of Humanists International (HI) at the 70th anniversary General Assembly in Glasgow.
      According to HI, the declaration "is the definitive guiding principles of Modern Humanism."
      The Amsterdam Declaration 2022 replaced the Amsterdam Declaration 2002, passed by the General Assembly of Humanists International at the 50th anniversary World Humanist Congress 2002. The 2002 Declaration replaced the original declaration passed at the founding congress of the International Humanist and Ethical Union in Amsterdam on 22–27 August 1952.
      The Declaration is officially supported by all member organisations of HI including:

      American Humanist Association
      Association humaniste du Québec
      Council of Australian Humanist Societies
      Council for Secular Humanism
      Gay and Lesbian Humanist Association
      Humanist Canada
      Humanist Society of New Zealand
      Humanists UK
      Human-Etisk Forbund, the Norwegian Humanist Association
      Humanistic Association Netherlands (Humanistisch Verbond)
      Humanistischer Verband Deutschlands, the Humanist Association of Germany
      Humanist Association of Ireland
      Indian Humanist Union
      Sapiens Foundation, India
      Philippine Atheists and Agnostics Society (PATAS)
      A complete list of signatories can be found on the HI page (see references).
      The Amsterdam Declaration 2002 made exclusive use of capitalized Humanist and Humanism, which was consistent with HI's general practice and recommendations for promoting a unified Humanist identity. To further promote Humanist identity, these words are also free of any adjectives, as recommended by prominent members of HI. Such usage is not universal among HI member organizations, though most of them do observe these conventions.


      History


      At the first World Humanist Congress in the Netherlands in 1952, Humanists International (then: International Humanist and Ethical Union, IHEU) general assembly agreed a statement of the fundamental principles of modern Humanism known as The Amsterdam Declaration. British Humanist Hector Hawton brought together the complex ideas expressed at the congress to draft the final text of the Amsterdam Declaration in clear and simple language
      In 2001 and 2002, IHEU vice-president Roy W. Brown acted as project coordinator to update the original Amsterdam Declaration. At the 50th anniversary World Humanist Congress in the Netherlands in 2002, the IHEU General Assembly passed a resolution updating the declaration – "The Amsterdam Declaration 2002".
      At the 70th World Humanist General Assembly in Glasgow in 2022, Humanists International passed a resolution replacing "The Amsterdam Declaration 2002" with
      "The Amsterdam Declaration 2022".
