Statement of condemnation

Imperialism has started a new war! The World Peace Council expresses its vehement and strong condemnation to the imperialist aggression which has started against Libya. The full scale military operations of France, the UK and USA with the support of the Arab League and several EU and NATO States, prove that the aggression was planned already for many days. The imperialists are using the pretext of the humanitarian intervention and the protection of civilians, with the clear aim of taking control of the energy resources and imposition of a new friendly regime. While having condemned the use of military force by the Libyan military against civilian protesters before, the WPC reiterates that it is the sole and sovereign right of the Libyan people to decide upon their government and upon their natural resources, which are the real target of the imperialist powers and the Multinational corporations behind. Thousands of Libyans have been killed already and the massacre of the Libyan people by the imperialists is going on for the third day. The developments prove clearly that the decision of UN Security Council 1973 to impose a Non-Fly Zone over the Libyan airspace was just used in order to start a war against Libya. The UN is making itself once more guilty of an imperialist aggression as it was in the case of the crimes against the peoples of Afghanistan, Iraq and so many others. We demand the immediate end of the aggression and the withdrawal of foreign military forces from the area.
Stop the war on Libya now!
