Criminalise War Just as we
Criminalise Murder!

In his address, Tun Dr. Mahathir brought home the point that while issues of slavery, child labor, women's rights et cetera have all been addressed and rectified to a great degree; societies still accept war as a mean of addressing disputes.

He also stated that if the killing of one is considered murder; then what of the killing of millions?

During the conference; those in addendence heard from luminaries and former detainees a like who are tirlessly at the forfront to end the illegal wars conducted against Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine and Lebanon.

In addition, no one present during the first day could forget the heart felt performance by the Iraqi children!

It is long overdue for the sane people of the world to let their voices and finances ring out against War and especially Illegal Wars where the only winners are those businesses who have turned War into a Racket in which to enrich themselves.

Unlike during WWII where war criminals have been tried, sentenced and justice rendered; the modern war criminals have stacked the international deck in such a way that they will never see the inside of an international court. Therefore, people around world have to ostracize them so that they begin to feel "Persona Non Grata" where ever they go.

Finally, each one of us has a moral obligation to enlighten at least one other person on what we heard and saw at this year's Criminalise War Conference.

We do no want it to be said that our silence is in fact tacit approval!

The following are a few photographs show a glimpse of man's inhumanity to man taken during the conference.
