The INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE FOR PEACE AND SOLIDARITY IN
COLOMBIA AND LATIN AMERICA is being organized by a number of
major groups in El Salvador, including the FMLN. Significant
and broad layers of leaders and organizations from
throughout Latin America and the U.S have endorsed it.
Some endorsers include Nobel Prize winner Adolfo Perez
Esquivel; Eduardo Galeano; and Rigoberta Menchu from Latin
America, and Jose Saramago from Portugal. From the U.S.
Ramsey Clark, Mumia Abu Jamal, Noam Chomsky and Prof. James
Petras have endorsed. Anti-war organization from Europe
OSPAAL, the Martin Luther King Center from Cuba, Ahmed
BenBella from Algeria, and a number of groups from
Venezuela, Brazil, Mexico are endorsing and sending
representatives.
The objective of the conference is to shed light on the
devastating effects of Plan Colombia, not only for the
nation of Colombia but all of Latin America. The conference
should be a resounding message against the militaristic
plans of the Bush Administration.

support for this conference and all efforts against Plan
Colombia are of great importance.
