Dear Friend,
We now have details of fourteen international protests marking the fifth anniversary of the Iraq invasion, 15-22 March. (See http://tinyurl.com/2c2ryn). We know there are other cities and towns around the world planning protests and we want to publish these on the WORLD AGAINST WAR website. If your country is not yet listed, please send us the dates and locations of demonstrations as soon as possible. We need the fullest picture possible of all international WORLD AGAINST WAR events, large and small. For countries which have already announced the date for their protests, please send full details of location, assembly times, demonstration routes, etc, to info@theworldagainstwar.org George Bush is now in crisis talks with other countries, as the Afghanistan war slides towards defeat for the United States and its NATO allies.
In Iraq, each day the myth of the troop "surge" bringing stability to the country is being exposed. The fifth anniversary of the Iraq invasion will get very big media coverage. For example, in Britain, the BBC has already announced it will have a whole week of television and radio broadcasts about the Iraq war. We must ensure that the voice of the anti-war majority around the world features prominently in the media response to this anniversary, which is why the WORLD AGAINST WAR demonstrations and protests are so import!ant.

Declaration of World Against War conference
This conference of delegates from peace, anti-war, anti-imperialist and liberation movements across the world declares its opposition to the “endless war” prosecuted by the US government against states, peoples and movements in all parts of our planet.
We oppose the interference of the US and its allies in sovereign states, and assert the right of all peoples to self-determination. We support all people fighting for peace and against imperialism.
In particular, we demand:
An immediate end to the illegal military occupation of Iraq, which has caused hundreds of thousands of deaths and displaced millions of people, a withdrawal of all foreign troops and the full transfer of sovereignty to the Iraqi people and their representatives.
A halt to all preparations for an attack against Iran, and a commitment to solve any issues through exclusively diplomatic means.
A withdrawal of foreign troops from Afghanistan, allowing the Afghan people to determine their own future.
Justice for the Palestinian people, and an end to Israeli aggression throughout the Middle East.
An end to plans for US missile defence, and that all states actively pursue nuclear disarmament.
We affirm the solidarity of all those fighting for peace, social justice and self-determination worldwide, and commit ourselves to strengthening our unity and developing new forms of co-operation.
We therefore designate the anniversary of the invasion of Iraq as a worldwide day of action in support of the demands NO ATTACK on IRAN and TROOPS OUT OF IRAQ/AFGHANISTAN and call on all national anti-war movements to hold mass protests and demonstrations on that day.
