43c/RCom/Report2 Annex 2


Motion 9: World Peace The 43rd Congress of the ITF, meeting in Sofia, Bulgaria from 10-­‐16 August 2014: 1. Recognises that the current crisis of capitalism has brought a deep period of instability to the world.


2. Believes that the growing rivalries between imperialist powers have intensified as a result of the crisis and that this has led to those powers seeking to expand the territories under their economic and financial dominance through wars of aggression.


3. Notes that the wars on Libya and Mali were undertaken against the wishes of the people of those countries, in direct contradiction to the interests of the membership of ITF affiliates and in the interests of a particular class.


4. Further notes the continued aggression shown towards Syria, and calls for an end to imperialist aggression of all kinds.


5. Rejects aggressive military alliances such as NATO and calls for a world of peace, based on mutual respect, and free cooperation amongst sovereign nations.
