It never participated in any elections and had only four known members.
* Vereniging Martijn. Founded in 1982. On 27 June 2012, a Dutch court ruled that the group was illegal and ordered it to disband immediately. However, this decision was overturned by a higher court in April 2013. The judge motivated their decision by stating that the club did not commit crimes and had the right of freedom of association. This was itself overturned by the Dutch Supreme Court on 18 April 2014, reinstating the trial judge's order and banning the organization for trivializing and glorifying pedophilic acts. The association filed an appeal at the European Court of Human Rights but it was rejected. The group published OK Magazine.
