Celtic League

Celtic League

The Aim and Role of the Celtic League

Our Aim
The fundamental aim of the Celtic League is to contribute, as an international organisation, to the struggles of the six Celtic nations to secure or win their political, social and economic freedom. This includes:

  • fostering co-operation between Celtic peoples.

  • developing the consciousness of the special relationship and solidarity between them.

  • making our national struggles and achievements better known abroad.

  • campaigning for a formal association of Celtic nations to take place once two or more of them have achieved self-government.

  • advocating the use of the national resources of each of the Celtic countries for the benefit of all its people.

Our aim is pursued by non-violent means.

By Celtic nations, we mean the peoples living in Brittany, Cornwall, Ireland, Mann, Scotland and Wales.

The Role The Celtic League Play in Our National Struggles:
On an internal level, the role of the Celtic League is secondary to that of the national organisations which work for the rebuilding of our respective nations as fully integrated communities. At an inter-Celtic level we should promote exchange and facilitate acquaintance of people from different Celtic countries with one another to strengthen our solidarity. On the external level, we should let other peoples know that the Celts are determined to assert their nationhood and that they have original contributions to make to the achievement of more satisfactory relations between individuals and Nations. We are non sectarian.

Each Celtic nation is conditioned by a different history so we must not expect uniformity of thought but instead allow diversity to express itself with the Celtic League. In this way we may better recognise those areas of possible co-operation and eventually formulate a detailed common policy. With this we can work out which kind of relations between our communities will enable them to enjoy freedoms and liberties at both community and individual level.

Campaigns:
The League campaigns on a broad range of issues. We have successfully monitored foreign military activity and its impact upon Celtic nations. We have highlighted economic exploitation and social matters. We have opposed the de-stabilising activities of the British intelligence services. Nationally, League branches are vociferous in their support of the national languages and culture and have highlighted the need for communications opportunities for the same i.e. T.V. and radio language services. On environmental matters, we liase closely with national and international groups in relation to matters affecting the Celtic countries. The campaign strategy is decided by an Annual General Meeting attended by branch delegates and held by rotation in each Celtic country. The 1999 activities are relayed to its members via the quarterly journal, CARN, which commenced publication in 1973. In addition, League campaigns are communicated to the media via a vigorous media information service covering Celtic affairs. This has led to frequent coverage for League campaigns throughout the years in our national  media. There is also an active internet presence.
