PURPOSES OF THE FEDERATION

The International Federation of Vexillological Associations unites those associations and institutions throughout the world whose object is the pursuit of vexillology, that is the creation and development of a body of knowledge about flags of all types, their forms and functions, and of scientific theories and principles based on that knowledge.

The International Federation of Vexillological Associations has as its purposes:

a) to create a strong bond among those associations and institutions and to encourage and coordinate their work, studies and research.

b) to promote periodically the organization of International Congresses of Vexillology and to lend its support to their organizers.

c) to encourage the creation in all countries of associations and institutions dedicated to vexillology.
