The Portuguese Council for Peace and Cooperation (CPPC) salutes the Sahrawi people, as well as the Polisario Front, their legitimate representative, on the occasion of the 48th. anniversary of the proclamation of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR), which took place on February 27, 1976, reaffirming support for the Sahrawi people's struggle to fulfil their right to self-determination.

The Portuguese Council for Peace and Cooperation (CPPC) strongly repudiates the new veto of the United States of America on the proposed resolution presented by Algeria at the Security Council of the United Nations, on February 20, which called for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

In view of the announcement that a large-scale attack by Israeli forces is forthcoming on the Rafah region, where Israeli bombings have already caused the deaths of dozens of Palestinians who sought refuge here, flocking from other areas of the Gaza Strip, the Portuguese Council for Peace and Cooperation (CPPC) reaffirms the demand repeated for more than four months: the urgency of an immediate and permanent ceasefire and the urgent delivery of humanitarian aid to the Palestinian population.

The Portuguese Council for Peace and Cooperation (CPPC) salutes the 25th. anniversary of the Bolivarian Revolution, which began with the inauguration of President Hugo Chávez in 1999, opening a path of hope and of economic, social, cultural and political transformation at the service of the Venezuelan people, which was enshrined in the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

The Portuguese Council for Peace and Cooperation (CPPC) repudiates the recent and continuous bombings by the US and the United Kingdom against Yemen, which not only worsen the conditions of the already martyred Yemeni people, but also represent a new and dangerous step in the escalation of war in the Middle East.

The Portuguese Council for Peace and Cooperation (CPPC) signed the letter that calls on States around the world to support South Africa's lawsuit that accuses Israel of violating the Genocide Convention, at the International Court of Justice.

The letter calls on States to present statements of support for the lawsuit initiated by South Africa – which can be done at any time – with the aim of denouncing, holding accountable and preventing Israel from continuing to commit crimes against the Palestinian people, including that of genocide as defined by the Genocide Convention.

Since Israel's aggression against the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip and until January 26, 44 actions for peace in the Middle East and in solidarity with the Palestinian people took place in Portugal, promoted by the Portuguese Council for Peace and Cooperation (CPPC), by the General Confederation of Portuguese Workers – Intersindical Nacional (CGTP-IN), by the Movement for the Rights of the Palestinian People and for Peace in the Middle East (MPPM) and by the Noise Project – Youth Association, and joined by many other organisations.

On the International Migrants Day, which is celebrated annually on December 18, adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations (UN) in the year 2000, the Portuguese Council for Peace and Cooperation (CPPC) reminds all those who, pushed by situations of profound injustice and social inequality, of poverty and underdevelopment, due to the lack of prospects for a better life, but also due to the brutal consequences of war situations, as well as the imposition of violent economic blockades on their countries, find themselves forced to abandon their families and their countries.
