Rule of Law
Program
230th
anniversary of the Declaration
of Independence
5th anniversary of 9/11
September, 2006
Prague, Czech Republic
The Declaration of Independence
remains not only a symbol of
free society but a model expression
of such a society's basic tenets.
EICEE's Civic Institute is organizing
this conference to highlight
the perennial principles of
the American Founding and indicate
their relevance for the promotion
of justice and freedom in every
time and place. After
more than two centuries, the
continued value of this document
invites us to look more closely
at the philosophy of natural
rights and natural law.
Taking place in close proximity
to the fifth anniversary of the
terrorist attacks of September
11, 2001, the conference will
also commemorate this watershed
event. By reviewing the
war against terrorism since 9/11
in light of the founding ideals
of the United States of America,
the conference will illustrate
the power of noble ideas to maintain
the stability of a nation even
under the most extreme circumstances.
