The Committee of 100 in Finland (Sadankomitea in Finnish) was founded in 1963,[1] based on the model of the Committee of 100 in Great Britain.[2]
The Committee of 100 has been one of foremost organizations of the peace movement in Finland, especially in the 1960s.[citation needed]
Since 1966 the Committee of 100 has helped publish the magazine Ydin[3] and, since 2007, the online magazine Pax;[4] it also organises seminars, distributes pamphlets, and lobbies for peace and human rights. It has particularly criticised Finland's refusal to participate in international treaties banning cluster bombs.[citation needed]
Active persons in the Committee of 100 have included the former Finnish Foreign Minister Erkki Tuomioja.[5]
