About 5 years ago I founded the national vegetarian and vegan society of Luxembourg and I've been its president ever since. In 1998 I was elected to the council of the EVU (European Vegetarian Union). In 1999 I joined the council of the IVU (International Vegetarian Union) as the liaison officer for Europe.This charge involved answering all sorts of questions concerning the environmental, hygienic, medical, esthetical and ethical aspects of vegetarianism and veganism, counseling people as to the vegetarian/vegan life-style and pinpointing, for inquirers, the sources of information they were looking for. In the past 5 years I have been most busy preparing and giving talks on the above subjects in various countries (Canada, France, Belgium, Poland, Malta, Thailand, Lituania and, of course, my home country where I was a frequent speaker on various radio stations, in talk-shows and on national TV). I presently focus my interests on the philosophy and psychology of nutrition as well as on the latest developments in the science of animalintelligence and emotions. I've published quite a number of articles for the general public in various papers and journals (including IVU's International Magazine). I am a lifetime member of NAVS (North American Vegetarian Society) and AVS (American Vegan Association) and a regular member of the French Alliance Française, the VSUK (Vegetarian Society of the United Kingdom), the British Vegan Society, the German Vegetarierbund and the Belgian Association Végétarienne. I'm also a patron of the Swiss Vegetarian Association and Luxemburg's country-coordinator of Vegans International. - **[Violence: The Degenerated Power](https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies/5500-news-2002-violence.html)** (IVU News, 2002) - [**The Ideology of Ideal Nutrition**](https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies/5479-news-2001-1-relativity.html) - On the Relativity of General Dietary Rules (IVU News, 2001) - [**When food means identity and identity means food**](https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies/5699-news-oct2000-food.html) (IVU News October 2000) - **[Regional Report from Europe](https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies/5695-news-oct2000-europe.html)** (IVU News Oct 2000) - [**Food, Agression and Reverence for Life** ](https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies/5677-news-march2000-food.html) (IVU News, March 2000) - **Deutsch** -[Nahrung, Aggression und Ehrfurcht vor dem Leben](https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies/6149-german-news-march2000-food.html) - **Español** -[Alimento, Agresión y Reverencia por la Vida](https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies/5942-spanish-news-march2000-food.html) - **Italiano** - [Cibo, aggressione e rispetto per la vita ](https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies/6056-italian-news-march2000-food.html) - [**Calories, Dollars and Compassion**](https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies/5561-news-aug99-calories.html) - a philosophical look at food (IVU News, August 1999) - **Deutsch** - [Kalorien, Dollar und Mitgefühl](https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies/6132-german-news-aug99-calories.html) - Ein Philosophischer Blick auf's Essen. - **Español** - [Calorías, Dólares y Compasión](https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies/5920-spanish-news-aug99-calories.html) - Una Mirada Filosófica a la Alimentación - **Italiano** - [Calorie, Dollari ed Empatia](https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies/6026-italian-news-aug99-calories.html) - Un sguardo filosofico sul cibo - [**Genetic Engineering**](https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies/5562-news-aug99-genetic.html) - can it be all that bad?

The history section of this website is drawn from a body of legacy content originally compiled by John Davis, former manager of the International Vegetarian Union. It represents his curation of historical material, and in places includes passages written by him directly. Over the years, the IVU website has migrated between several different hosting servers. In the course of these migrations, a number of PDF files were unfortunately lost, and **some links to PDF documents may no longer function**. Where this is the case, we have chosen to leave the original link text in place, as it may itself carry information of historical value. - Hits: 1707 ## Schema ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu.html?view=article&id=4286:members-council-claude-pasquini&catid=208","url":"https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu.html?view=article&id=4286:members-council-claude-pasquini&catid=208","name":"Claude Pasquini — IVU International Council","description":"IVU Liaison Officer for Europe (1999-2004).","inLanguage":"en","isPartOf":[{"@id":"https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu.html#archive"},{"@id":"https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu.html#international-council"}],"about":{"@id":"https://ivu.org/#/schema/person/claude-pasquini"},"mainEntity":{"@id":"https://ivu.org/#/schema/person/claude-pasquini"},"publisher":{"@id":"https://ivu.org/#organization"}},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https://ivu.org/#/schema/person/claude-pasquini","name":"Claude Pasquini","description":"IVU Liaison Officer for Europe (1999-2004).","url":"https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu.html?view=article&id=4286:members-council-claude-pasquini&catid=208","memberOf":[{"@type":"OrganizationRole","roleName":"Member of the IVU International Council","memberOf":{"@id":"https://ivu.org/#organization"},"startDate":"1999","endDate":"2004","description":"Represented: Luxembourg"}]}]} ``` ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://ivu.org" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "IVU", "item": "https://ivu.org/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "Resources", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources.html" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "name": "Biographies", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies.html" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 5, "name": "History of the Vegetarian Societies", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies.html" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 6, "name": "members", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies.html" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 7, "name": "council", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies.html" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 8, "name": "Claude Pasquini", "item": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies/4286-members-council-claude-pasquini.html" } ] } ``` ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Article", "mainEntityOfPage": { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/biographies/4286-members-council-claude-pasquini.html" }, "headline": "Claude Pasquini", "description": "Claude Pasquini: PhD IVU Liaison Officer for Europe 1999 - 2004 Claude at the World Vegetarian Congress in Chiang Mai 1999 ....... and giving a talk at the Edinburgh Congress, 2002 I've been a vegetarian for 17 years and a vegan for the past 8 years.", "publisher": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "International Vegetarian Union", "logo": { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://ivu.org/images/logos/logo-ivu-tranparent-background.png" } }, "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Alex Fernandes", "url": "https://ivu.org/international-council.html" }, "datePublished": "2026-06-30T23:45:26+00:00", "dateCreated": "2026-06-25T00:17:23+00:00", "dateModified": "2026-10-08T00:54:35+00:00" } ```
