Over 1,200 delegates from the anti war movement accross the globe came to London for the World Against War International Peace Conference in London.
The movement demanded:
- 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.
