AERM was launched on June 19th 2010 as an alliance of republican movements in Europe. We are committed to creating a network of cross-party republican movements in all the countries in Europe that continue to have monarchs as their head of state.
Our Cause
AERM is committed to the ideals of democracy and equality in our national constitutions and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Member organisations are each primarily working towards the replacement of their respective constitutional monarchies with republics based on the principles of democracy, accountability, transparency and merit.
Working Together
AERM provides a framework for the member organisations to share information, resources and ideas to bring about their common goal. Reflecting their distinctive political and constitutional circumstances, each of the organisations will retain their autonomous national campaigns.
Guiding principles
Friendship: AERM is recognition that all countries have ongoing political, social, economic and cultural histories that bind each country to the other. These formal ties are reinforced by personal and family friendships between the countries.
Equality: Each member organization of AERM is an equal member regardless of its size or history.
Co-operation: AERM is a commitment to discussion and mutual assistance. It is a shared willingness to talk through any differences and disagreements in order to continue the working relationship and further the aims of the agreement.
Democracy: Each member organisation will maintain a commitment to openness and democracy within their internal structures and procedures and in all matters concerning the Agreement.
While limited to republican organisations in Europe, AERM is supporting any republican movement sharing its principles.
