WORLD FAMILY POLICY CENTER FORUM

In 1999 the World Family Policy Forum was established as a yearly meeting of concerned United Nations Diplomats, opinion leaders, and scholars, focusing on international family policy issues. Each July, delegates from more than 30 different countries assemble on the campus of Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, to discuss emerging trends on such topics as the natural family, the United Nations, human rights, marriage, gender, childrens rights, and sovereignty. The three-day conference results in a rich understanding of the emerging norms, experience, and theory shaping international law and family policy at the United Nations and throughout the world.
