The World Peace Council (WPC) expressed its strong condemnation of the Military Coup carried out in Myanmar in the beginning of February 2021 which brought the country back also formally to the rule of the military junta.

Even before three weeks have passed with the new US President Joe Biden in power, the first American bombings in Syria were carried out. In an unprovoked airstrike in eastern Syria last Friday, the United States dropped bombs that killed dozens of people.

Apenas unos días antes del final del mandato del presidente Donald Trump, su secretario de Estado, Mike Pompeo, anunció que incluía unilateralmente a Cuba en una lista de estados que apoyan el terrorismo. Este acto escandaloso y vergonzoso se encontró con razón con una oposición extremadamente fuerte tanto en el propio territorio de los Estados Unidos (EE.UU.) como en todo el mundo.
The World Peace Council (WPC) condemns and rejects in the strongest way the recent decision of the US State Department to include once more Cuba in their unilateral list of states which sponsor terrorism.
