Statement Released by Manik Mukherjee on behalf of the IAPSCC

October 31, 2009

The IAPSCC condemns in strongest terms the latest US attacks on Syria and Pakistan killing many citizens of the two countries. This is a gross violation of the sovereignty of the two nations and must be regarded as blatantly illegal and unjustified acts of war. The perpetrators of these criminal acts are to be treated as war criminals. This is one more example of the implementation of the Bush Administration's 'National Security Strategy of the United States of America' which proclaims that the US has the right to use military force anywhere in the world, at any time it chooses, against any country that it believes to be a threat to American interests. US imperialism refuses to respect as a matter of international law the sovereignty of any other country, and reserves the right to get rid of any regime, in any part of the world, that is at the moment, or may in future become hostile to what US considers to be its vital interests. We call upon all freedom-loving democratic-minded people of the world to forcefully raise the demand that the United States and its partners must cease all aggressive acts and maneuvers against all countries, in particular, Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Cuba and Democratic People's Republic of Korea, and withdraw their occupation forces from Iraq and Afghanistan.
