MAKING HUMAN RIGHTS A REALITY (CONTINUED...)

THE EUROPEAN OFFICE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS

In the decade since the Church of Scientology first opened a European human rights office the scope of Scientology on that continent has expanded dramatically. Even more dramatic was the increase in interest and reach for information about Scientology and L. Ron Hubbard’s technology. Thus, with assistance from the IAS, new facilities were acquired in Brussels to be the home of a greatly expanded Church of Scientology International European Office for Public Affairs and Human Rights.

Located in the heart of Brussels, these facilities are within walking distance of the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers of the European Union. It is an ideal location from which Scientology’s solutions can be presented to the leaders of Europe, and from which human rights can be forwarded at a pan-European level. The new offices contain displays of every facet of Scientology and its social betterment activities. Integrated into the design of the building is a permanent “What is Scientology?” display which presents basic precepts of Scientology. Other displays show the international accomplishments of Scientology-related organizations, including reforms in the field of mental health, investigative journalism in the public interest and human rights activities. Hallways throughout the building are lined with proclamations and acknowledgements from cities, states and nations.
