  • The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) is a Religious Society of Friends affiliated organization which provides humanitarian relief and works for social justice, peace and reconciliation, human rights, and abolition of the death penalty. The group was founded in 1917 as a combined effort by American members of the Religious Society of Friends and assisted civilian victims of war. Because Quakers traditionally oppose violence in all of its forms and therefore refuse to serve in the military, the AFSC's original mission was to provide conscientious objectors (COs) to war with a constructive alternative to military service. In 1947 AFSC received the Nobel Peace Prize along with the British Friends Service Council, now called Quaker Peace and Social Witness, on behalf of all Quakers worldwide.

  • Le American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) est une organisation dépendant de la branche américaine de la Société religieuse des Amis, plus connue sous le nom de quaker. Fondée en 1917, elle a pour objectifs selon les valeurs des quakers la promotion de la paix, des droits de l'Homme et l'abolition de la peine de mort. Elle a obtenu en 1947, avec le British Friends Service Council (aujourd'hui Quaker Peace and Social Witness, également lié aux quakers), le Prix Nobel de la Paix pour ses actions envers les civils victimes de la Seconde Guerre mondiale.
  • L’American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) è una società religiosa di quaccheri che si batte per la giustizia sociale, la pace, la riconciliazione tra i popoli, l’abolizione della pena di morte ed i diritti umani. L’AFSC venne fondato nel 1917 per assistere le vittime civili della prima guerra mondiale. Tradizionalmente i quaccheri si oppongono alla violenza in tutte le sue forme (ad esempio, si rifiutano di effettuare il servizio militare) e dunque originariamente lo scopo dell’AFSC consisteva anche nel fornire agli obiettori di coscienza un’alternativa costruttiva alla naja. Nel 1947 l’AFSC ha ricevuto il Premio Nobel per la Pace assieme al British Friends Service Council, che oggi si chiama Quaker Peace and Social Witness.
  • アメリカ・フレンズ奉仕団 (American Friends Service Committee, AFSC) は1917年にアメリカ合衆国フィラデルフィアで戦争による民間の犠牲者の救済のために設立されたキリスト友会（クエーカー）系の人道援助や社会正義、人権、平和や死刑の廃止などのために活動する団体である。1947年にイギリス・フレンズ協議会と共にノーベル平和賞を受賞した。 フレンド派は伝統的にあらゆる形態の暴力に反対し兵役を拒否したため、AFSCの当初の目的は良心的兵役拒否の実現のための兵役の代替であった。
  • De American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) is een organisatie verbonden met het Genootschap der Vrienden (Quakers), welke zich inzet voor vrede, mensenrechten en afschaffing van de doodstraf. De groep werd opgericht in 1917 door leden van de Amerikaanse tak van het Genootschap der Vrienden en slachtoffers van de oorlog. Omdat de Quakers traditioneel gezien geweld afzweren en derhalve niet in het leger dienen, was het oorspronkelijke doel van de AFSC om dienstweigeraars die werden opgeroepen om in een oorlog te vechten te helpen bij het vinden van een goed alternatief voor hun dienstplicht. In 1947 ontving de AFSC de Nobelprijs voor de Vrede samen met de Quaker Peace and Social Witness.
