#  World Vegetarian Congress - Edinburgh, Scotland, Summer 2002 - Francisco Martin

**International Vegetarian Union (IVU)** | ![IVU logo](https://ivu.org/images/legacy/history/members/pics/ivu-con1.gif) | 35th World Vegetarian Congress    **'Food for all our futures'**   ---   Heriot Watt University, Edinburgh, Scotland    July 8-14, 2002 | Hosted by    [![](https://ivu.org/images/legacy/history/congress/2002/bluelogo.gif)    **The Vegetarian Society    of the United Kingdom**](http://www.vegsoc.org/)**Francisco Martín**    Tuesday - 2.00pm - 3.00pm :[ Animal Rights: A test of civilization](https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews/3307-congress-2002-texts-francisco.html)    Tuesday, plenary session - 4.30pm - 6.15pm  Founder of Spain's first animal rights organisation, Alternativa para la Liberación Animal \[ALA\], Francisco has been vegan for more than three decades. On his return to Spain after living and working in Canada for many years, he founded the Spanish Vegan Society, Associación Vegana Española and introduced the word "vegano" into the Spanish language.  Fluent in half a dozen languages, Francisco attended his first IVU congress in 1979, at Loughborough in the UK, and has spoken regularly at regional and world congresses ever since. A member of the IVU Council from 1986, he became General Secretary in 1996. From 1996 to 1999 he edited two magazines: IVU News \[in English\] and Veganismo \[in Spanish\]. His articles have been translated into several other languages.  In 1993 Francisco singlehandedly organised the Seventh International Vegan Festival, held in Tossa de Mar - the first town in Spain to ban bullfighting. As IVU General Secretary, he also had the task of organising the 33rd World Congress, held in Thailand in 1999, the first at which all food was required to be entirely free of animal products, a requirement subsequently enshrined in the rules of IVU. The following year he stood down from the International Council to concentrate on veganising the Spanish-speaking world and was made an honorary Fellow of IVU in recognition of his services to the movement.  A tireless campaigner against bullfighting and all other forms of cruelty and injustice, Francisco is a familiar figure on Spanish television as well as in the press and on radio. A supporter of the    disadvantaged and abused since early childhood, when he kept a hen as a pet and was devastated when she "disappeared", his reply to a Canadian    radio station who recently contacted him for comment on a fisheries dispute between the two countries was an uncompromising "I'm on the side of the fish". | ![](https://ivu.org/images/legacy/history/news/1-96/martin.jpg)  -

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: 1201    ###  Vegan Recipes   - [![Aji (Peruvian Hot Sauce)](https://ivu.org/media/zoo/images/aji--peruvian-hot-sauce--1793236345_f1b77c0916c969a79c2d30d8c5cc6b14.jpg "Aji (Peruvian Hot Sauce)")](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/item/aji-peruvian-hot-sauce.html "Aji (Peruvian Hot Sauce)")           ####  [Aji (Peruvian Hot Sauce)](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/item/aji-peruvian-hot-sauce.html "Aji (Peruvian Hot Sauce)")            [Peru](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/peru.html) [Sauces](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/sauces.html) [South America](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/south-america.html) -
