 The AFMP/FNV is a member of Euromil, the European Organisation of Military Associations. Euromil is a union of free democratic associations representing the interests of military personnel. The organisation was founded in 1972 by nine associations from Belgium, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and Italy. At present, EUROMIL counts 36 member/observer associations out of 23 Europian countries representing nearly 500.000 individuals.
The AFMP/FNV and all the other member associations from EUROMIL consider themselves committed to the principle of the Citizen in Uniform. This means that the serviceman has, in principle, the same rights and obligations as any other citizen. A serviceman, who must defend the rights and freedoms of his fellow citizens outside his own national territory, must be entitled to enjoy and make use of these same rights and freedoms in service. This principle requires action by states: the removal of all restrictions on civil and social rights which do not inevitably result from the military assignment and the constitution of the state in question. Associations made up of servicemen and therefore of responsible citizens in uniform form the basis for fair and active participation in the political life of their countries. |
