We believe the war on terrorism is a further threat to world peace. We therefore:
- Demand an immediate Israeli withdrawal from the Occupied territories and an end to the violence.
- Support peace initiatives which recognise the rights of both Israelis and Palestinians to live in security and dignity.
- Call on parties to abandon the idea of war on Iraq.
- Call on our representatives in Parliament, Europe and the UN to seek just and peaceful solutions to conflict.
