FIACAT also works in close collaboration with other non-governmental organisations for the defence of human rights as well as the Churches and religious congregations. Managing the networkFIACAT contributes to the active life of the ACAT network by promoting exchanges between the different groups, by proposing joint activities or campaigns as well as regional or international training courses. It helps the ACATs to structure their work, to become competent and effective in the fight for the abolition of torture and the death penalty, to be actors in civil society capable of transforming or influencing the mentality and the structures of their country, starting with the Christian communities and the Churches. FIACAT’s website gives a voice to the thirty national associations who are members. Some ACATs run their own sites, and the FIACAT site enables other ACATs to make known their activities and their aims. As well as its website FIACAT circulates several publications : - The FIACAT News is a means of communication which enables us periodically to report on the activities of the whole membership of the Federation. Three numbers were published during 2009 ;- The FIACAT Newsletter is a means of communication which regularly distributes information concerning FIACAT’s activities.Structure and functioningFIACAT is a non-profit-making organisation under French law. The work of the international secretariat, composed of three people, is supervised by an International Bureau elected by the international Council which every four years brings together the delegates of the member associations of the network and establishes the broad orientation of the organization. FinancingFIACAT is able to carry out its missions thanks to the financial support of the members of its network, of individuals, of NGOs as well as States.
