Abstract
IAUPL is a non-governmental, non-political, non-sectarian body. It is recognized as holding consultative status by Unesco, and by other United Nations organizations. It is a democratically constitued federal organization of the separate national associations of university teachers, and in some cases of the separate associations of teachers in single universities, who thereby collaborate in the international sphere. IAUPL comprises affiliated associations and individual members representing a total membership in seventeen countries. The broad aims of IAUPL are the development of academic fraternity among university teachers of the various countries across national and faculty boundaries; the protection of the independance and freedom of teaching and research; the furtherance of the interests of university teachers; and the consideration of academic problems, wether initiated by the Association itself or referred to it by governments or universities or by Unesco. In 1982, IAUPL adopted a charter of rights and obligations of university teachers (Siena). Topics of interest to all university teachers are discussed at international conferences.
