Negotiate Now! Whereas: the attack by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization on Yugoslavia is not a humanitarian solution to the conflict within Yugoslavia; it will only deepen the conflict and suffering in the Balkans, with uncontrolled and dangerous consequences for the entire world; Whereas: NATO's attack on Yugoslavia violates the fundamental principles of the United Nations Organization and of the Helsinki Final Act that guarantees the borders of Europe following the Second World War; Whereas: NATO's demand to place a NATO occupying force in Yugoslavia was made without any legal basis; Whereas: the corporate agenda has always relied on dividing workers, and on making them fight each other; Whereas: it is never too late to negotiate a just peace; Therefore be it resolved: that the Canadian Labour Congress call on the Government of Canada to withdraw its support for the war against Yugoslavia and to support immediate peace negotiations. The Executive had unanimously reccommended acceptance, and it passed overwhelmingly. Stuart Ryan, President CAW 567
