The group actively promotes what it believes are "traditional family values" internationally, nationally and locally. UFI under Roylance was actively involved in promoting "traditional family values" at the Beijing Conference in the mid 1990s. Roylance characterized the conference as a "wakeup call for those who believe the traditional family unit to be an important basic unit of society". The organization received ECOSOC accreditation〔 and participated in the World Congress of Families II Conference in Switzerland in 1999.〔 UFI has brought its platform to international organizations, including the UN in 2002, at which it joined more than 300 activists in urging diplomats to "reaffirm marriage and promote sexual abstinence among teen-agers." Sharon Slater, UFI's president at the time asked UN diplomats "to ensure that religions are respected and protected in U.N. documents, insofar as they respect the family and the dignity of the human person". The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) designates United Families International as an anti-gay hate group.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/hate-map#s=AZ )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「United Families International」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
