Model TU Conference Resolution

Model conference resolution for the withdrawal of troops from Iraq, no further wars and support for the Stop the War Coalition

Conference reaffirms [union name]'s support for the Stop the War Coalition and its campaign to end the occupation of Iraq.  It pledges to continue political and financial suport for StWC.

Conferences believes that the occupation of Iraq has been a disaster, and its continuation is bringing suffering to the Iraqi people as well as leading to the futile loss of British soldiers' lives.  It demands the swiftest possible withdrawal of British troops from Iraq.  It also pledges to work with Iraqi trade unionists to oppose the planned privatisation of Iraq's oil.

Conference further warns against the dangers of any further extension of the "war on terror", whether through an attack against Iran or other countries, or through the redeployment of British troops to occupied Afghanistan.  It demands an end to British government support for the policies of the Bush administration and a foreign policy based on peace and addressing the roots of injustice in the world.
