PRESS RELEASE OF THE COMMITTEE AGANST WAR MILAN

The "Comitato Contro La Guerra Milano" (Committee Against the War Milan), adhered unreservedly to the World Council of Peace Declaration on the missile attack of the United States to Syria, calling the protest outside the US Consulate in Milan.

El Consejo Mundial de la Paz denuncia y condena los recientes ataques de misiles contra los blancos sirios el 6 de abril, como un acto de intensificación de la intervención imperialista en Siria y la región, sobre la base del supuesto uso de armas químicas por el ejército Sirio en Khan Sheikhoun cerca de la ciudad de Idlib , crimen realizado con motivos bajo sospecha de ser una provocación.

The World Peace Council denounces and condemns the recent missile attacks of the USA against Syrian targets on 6th April,as an act of further escalation of the imperialist intervention in Syria and the region, based on the alleged use of chemical weapons in Khan Sheikhoun town near Idleb by the Syrian army, a crime with suspicious motives.

It is with revolt and repudiation that the World Peace Council denounces the persecution suffered by the vice-president of the Women's International Democratic Federation (WIDF) and former Colombian senator Gloria Inés Ramírez and the Argentine sociologist Atílio Borón, a committed critic of US imperialism .

The Presidency of the World Peace Council rejects the irresponsible threats of aggression of the United States against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) made by its State Secretary Rex Tillerson on Friday (17th of March), speaking from their ally's platform, in South Korea.

The US has for years promoted a policy of interference and destabilization in the Korean Peninsula, investing in the Korean people's division and in reiterated threats against the People's Korea, with repeated military drills, sanctions and arrogant statements.

Yes to Peace! No to NATO!
Protest NATO’s 2017 Brussels Summit!

Since its creation, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, NATO, has been an aggressive military arm of imperialism. It is the largest and most dangerous military organization in the World, deeply interconnected with the foreign and economic policies of both the United States and the European Union.
