Conference Mission Statement

Judges have set the fuse on a social nuclear time bomb. Daily, fathers are being driven out of their families and properties - effectively disenfranchised from Society - but no one knows.

In 1996 we told the late Donald Dewar MP; "If the family courts were public, the number of allegations of sexual abuse would drop by 95%."

The process of smearing is now second nature in the media and in the secret family courts. It makes for fabulous headlines but when the cases fall flat the public is never told.

Secrecy and Suppression go hand in hand with Perjury and Corruption, disfiguring our society. The scandals of BSE, the Iraq 'supergun' fiasco, and AIDS are examples of misinformation and deception.

The Birmingham Six and the Guildford Four amply illustrate that British Justice is in crisis. The secret family courts, which have become more or less illegal in their daily operation, are in the vanguard of what is creeping into other areas.

There is now a tangible air of suppression as the result of censorship, which extends throughout our secretive society.

The speakers at this year's Mankind National Conference will tell us about the effects of censorship in their specialist fields, and also the wider philosophical, ethical and social implications for a society which tolerates censorship on the present scale.
