Ipce is an international, non-campaigning organization that publishes scholarly literature on sexual relationships between adults and minors and related topics on its website. The group used to run a private forum for the discussion of this literature and held in-person meetings in various European locations on an annual or 2-yearly basis.
The organization was created as a preparation by the adult-minor groups to the international gay and lesbian organization ILGA, but after they were thrown out of this organization, Ipce kept on, first as an organization for international pro-pedophile groups, but more recently as an organization of private persons.
Mission Statement
- "Ipce is a forum for people who are engaged in scholarly discussion about the understanding and emancipation of mutual relationships between children or adolescents and adults.
- In this context, these relationships are intended to be viewed from an unbiased, non-judgmental perspective and in relation to the human rights of both the young and adult partners."
Structure
Ipce has supporters who are encouraged to make donations to keep the organization afloat. The current secretary of Ipce is Frans Gieles.
Publications
Ipce once published a newsletter and a magazine, both edited by Gieles. Before the electronic Newsletter, Ipce published a paper newsletter, which documented information about group meetings they had in the pre-digital period.
Annual meeting
The group met once a year to discuss internal and wider issues. Ipce meetings were a good opportunity for interested persons to acquaint themselves with one another.
The functions of forum and annual meetings are currently suspended due to lack of demand.
Previous Meetings
- Copenhagen, 1996
- Munich, 1997
- Athens, 1998
- Oost-Holland, 2000
- Berlin, 2001
- Rotterdam, 2002

- Noord-Holland, 2010
The 2010 meeting, held in an historic Dutch seaside resort, was run alongside a much larger IBLD meeting.
Controversy
A former member (Tom O'Carroll) has faced some legal troubles (unrelated to Ipce per se). This happened after a police officer who was investigating him infiltrated:
- "This is born out of our experience in Hamburg in 2004, where we had a UK police officer as an infiltrator - who, incidentally, did not find any illegality."[1]
Also, in 2004, the former Glasgow University academic, Dr Richard Yuill was attacked and libeled by right-wing journalists for attending a meeting as part of his research. This followed an undercover investigation, carried out by Ireen van Engelen, who passed information on to the Scottish Daily Mail journalist Marcello Mega.
Since these events took place, Ipce's security measures have been tightened considerably.
