WSCF AP strongly opposes and condemns this war on Iraq led by the United States and its allies. The United States has clearly violated the UN Charter and International Law by launching this attack, it has arrogantly dismissed an overwhelming international sentiment on peaceful and diplomatic solutions, it shows no concern on the lives of the millions of people who will perish, it does not care about the consequential effects and traumas of the war. We strongly believe this war is totally unjustified and we demand that it has to be stopped immediately!
As a Student Christian Movement, we reiterate that as Christian students, we strongly believe that war will not solve the problems currently faced by the world. Nor will war dissolve any feelings of hatred that have already been deeply sown. War will only bring massive destruction, torn lives and families and widen the gulf between nations. We want peace that will bring justice, mutual respect for peaceful co-existence and understanding to all creation of God.
WSCF AP will actively participate in all Stop The War campaigns and rallies led by the No War Coalition organised by NGO groups in Hong Kong in which WSCF AP is one of the organisers. We urge all Student Christian Movements in the Asia-Pacific region to participate in all forms of solidarity actions organised in their own countries, to demand that the war has to stop immediately and to pray for the millions who have and will suffer. |
