World Peace Council

The WPC expresses its indignation and strong condemnation about the recent brutal killings and massacres perpetuated in the Syrian provinces of Latakia and Tartus by the armed religious fundamentalist forces which are in support of and by the new ruling groups in Damascus.

We are aware and not surprised by the nature of the above forces which came to power in Syria by the open support of major global and regional forces, after being “washed clean” from their Jihadist past and now being projected as liberators of Syria.

Statement by the Belgrade Forum for a World of Equals, on the occasion of February 23rd, Global Day of Action to Close Foreign Military Bases

El Consejo Mundial por la Paz condena enérgicamente y rechaza vehementemente las declaraciones del presidente de Estados Unidos, D. Trump, en las que afirmó que "tomaría el control" de la Franja de Gaza palestina y desplazaría a más de dos millones de palestinos a países vecinos y otros territorios.

The Portuguese Council for Peace and Cooperation (CPPC) repudiates the objectives of today's visit to Portugal by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. The visit is part of a tour of several member countries of this warmongering political-military bloc with the aim, among other serious objectives, of intensifying the policy of confrontation and increasing spending on arms and war, heightening the risks of a widespread conflict of major proportions.

The Belgrade Forum for a World of Equals, as a voluntary, independent and non-partisan association of citizens founded 25 years ago, has publicly expressed its opinions and positions on important social issues on many occasions. According to the Forum's assessment today, these issues are:

- The necessity of peacefully overcoming all divisions, distrust and socio-political crises by uprooting their causes and by confidence building measures stabilizing society and its development.

The Portuguese Council for Peace and Cooperation (CPPC) salutes the ceasefire agreed between the Palestinian resistance and Israel, which, although limited, represents a relief in the suffering of the Palestinian people caused by the brutal Israeli aggression and for enabling access to urgent humanitarian aid for the Palestinian population of the Gaza Strip, which includes thousands and thousands of children.

The World Peace Council condemns strongly and rejects vehemently the statements of US president D.Trump in which he declared to “take over” the Palestinian Gaza strip and displace more than two million of Palestinians to neighbor and other countries.

Thousands of people walked the streets of Lisbon on January 18th, demanding an end to the war and a permanent ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, for Peace and Cooperation between peoples, for social progress.
Around 100 organizations from across the country signed the appeal and participated in the demonstration, adding strength to these demands.

The recent decision by the US government to exclude Cuba from its list of countries that allegedly support terrorism is belated and corrects an injustice committed against Cuba and its people. It should be remembered that Cuba's inclusion on this infamous list resulted in severe measures against the Cuban people, which caused serious economic damage and social consequences.

The CPPC salutes the march of the Cuban people against the blockade and the illegitimate inclusion of Cuba in the list of states that allegedly sponsor terrorism

The CPPC has always spoken out against the US economic and financial blockade against Cuba, demanding that it be lifted and Cuba’s removal from the illegitimate list of countries that allegedly sponsor terrorism.
