Dear all, I just want to give you another example of what can be done to support our struggle against sanctions. In Italy, the associations +ACI-A Bridge to Baghdad+ACI- and +ACI-Gulf Commitee+ACI- have launched a campaign suggesting that the Italian government should unilaterally restart trade with Iraq. We base our proposal on the fact that sanctions (though imposed by the UN under International Law) are breaking the International conventions on human rights, which have to be respected above all other laws, in case of +ACI-conflict+ACI- between different measures. Many associations are supporting this campaign. On Christmas eve, when Catholic people use to go the Church fot the midnight Chirstmas celebration, we will be out of the Cathedral of Milan (and in other towns, I hope), distributing leaflets and asking for signatures of our petition for the unilateral rejection of embargo. I'll let you know if this action is successful.
