Final Resolution

From the cold war we have gone over to the hot war. The barbaric aggression against Yugoslavia, led by the US, Germany and their allies and shamefully backed by all social-democratic governments of Europe some of which include even communist parties, confirm the truth of this statement. The monstrous crimes being committed against the population and government of Yugoslavia, the trampling underfoot of all international laws, harald a war that goes far beyond the Balkans, to involve the whole world, particularly Russia and China. The US and its allies have taken the collapse of the USSR as a green light for world military intervention, which they are systematically proceeding to implement in a ferocious and barbaric way, recalling and even surpassing nazi military enterprises.

Military interventions are in no way dictated by humanitarian concerns nor by a desire to support any just cause. They are based on a clear and well defined imperialist strategy. In the course of their military escalation, the US has relentlessly elaborated military strategies aimed at world domination: from systematic interference through the medium of armed counterrevolution in countries struggling for their independence, to the development of star wars to weaken the defence capabilities of the USSR, up to the present situation in which all states maintaining any kind of political, economic and military independence become a target for their aggression.

In the face of such a situation, which so radically affects the life and existence of peoples and states, we, the 28 anti-imperialist organizations from 18 countries meeting in Prague from the 8th to the 9th of May 1999, believe it necessary to work to establish an international front to fight US and EU imperialism.

We therefore resolve the following:

1. to establish a center for the promotion of international cooperation based in Prague;

2. to enhance coordination and cooperation with the areas and peoples most affected by the war and by military provocations and immediately develop all forms of struggle to support the people and the government of Yugoslavia and halt the aggressor's war machine;

3. to orgaanise methods of disseminating information and understanding in order to combat the disinformation and slanders which always precede and accompany military actions.

In the light of what has been said, the anti-imperialist organizations meeting in Prague believe that the political campaigns, the movement and the struggle that has to be organized and developed in each country and internationally must be carried on until the total liquidation of NATO and foreign military bases has been achieved and the relation between states come to be based on equality rather than imperialist oppression.

The anti-imperialist organizations meeting in Prague believe that it is necessary to be united to fight this struggle by every means possible in order successfully to meet the difficult challenge humanity has to face half a century after the end of the second world war.
