The Congress for Self-Determination (CSD) is an international organization consisting of the countless unrepresented communities across Eras who are seeking any form of greater self-determination from their home country. The CSD is a mutual support community representing the interests of the various ethnic, linguistic, religious, and national minorities on the world stage. We work together with policy makers, cultural and educational institutions, youth organizations, media and other associates in order to assist in the preservation and promotion of the identity, language, culture, rights and traditions of various peoples and to allow them a platform to more easily make their voices heard across the wider world.
The CSD is dedicated to its founding principles of promoting the fundamental human rights of democracy and self-determination, along with adherence to nonviolence and the belief in the equality of all peoples. All members are required to abide by the founding principles and the covenant of the CSD.
