International Peace Conference 10th December


The Peace Conference was a great success - fully booked well before the event. The contributions in all the sessions were striking in their range and the conviction of the contributors - many of whom had become politicised by the war.

A few links have been added.....please email web site if you think others should be included

Sessions included:

Iraq, the US and Britain
Military Families Campaign
Bringing Bush and Blair to Account
Building an International Movement

A recording of Harold Pinter's Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech was shown during one of the breaks.Click for text of speech
