RESOLUTION ON
HUMANITARIAN AID

e
fitaay Stockholm Conference on
Wing ean mously endorsed the fol-
lution, submitted to it by

Help the people survive

the Conference Commission on Humani-
tarian Aid.)

The Commission on Humanitarian
Aid states that the mass physical de-
struction of North and South Vietnam
by the U.S. has been followed by inten-
sified bombing of and chemical warfare
against South Vietnam. The object is to
crush the resistance of the people and
to keep the country under American
domination. Under these conditions the
need to secure the survival of the peo-
ple of South Vietnam and support it in
its struggle for independence and peace
is of paramount political, moral and
social importance.

1. The Commission therefore recom-
mends that material and medical aid

RIMENT OF THE ARMY

‘A MANUAL FOR WAR CRIMINALS BY WAR CRIMINALS’ is how the notation
reads describing this reproduction of the U.S. Dept. of the Army Training Citcular
TC 3-16. This 85-page manual reveals the genocidal character of the U.S. war
against the Vietnamese and Laotian people.

‘The use of chemical weapons described in this manual is banned by interna-
tional law. Those who order the use of these weapons and those who execute these
orders should be regarded as war criminals. This particular manual was issued at
Washington April 9, 1969 under the signature of W. C. Westmoreland, General,

United States Army, Chief of Staff.

The. original copy was sent to the Swedish Medical Aid Committee for Vietnam
from the U.S.A. and was reproduced in co-operation with the International Liaison
Committee of the Stockholm Conference on Vietnam to serve as a background

paper for the Conference.

be intensified to the maximum on all
counts. The possibilities of such aid
are varied:

(a) On state level, through direct .

contact between the government
in question and the governments
of the D.R.V. and the P.R.G. of
South Vietnam;

(b) through organizations, institu-
tions and individual actions.

2. The Commission recommends that
existing channels for co-ordination of
medical aid be strengthened. The Secre-
tariat of Co-ordination of European Me-
dical. Associations for Aid to Vietnam
in Paris has accepted this responsibil-
ity.

3. The Commission recommends an
intensified campaign for material aid
to include currency, food, fertilizers,
machinery, school materials etc. Such

a campaign will be helped by the set--
ting up of a Stockholm Secretariat to

act as a co-ordination and information
centre for such aid. That individual di-
rect ties between contributing countries
and Vietnam be encouraged and streng-
thened.

4. The Commission draws attention
to the extreme importance of monetary
contributions. Such contributions can
be sent to a special bank account, open-

ed by tte’ Stockholnt Conference office. *~

In certain countries, for example the
U.S.A., government restrictions impede
acts of material solidarity. The Com-
mission has confidence in the men and
women of these countries to overcome
these obstacles and get funds and ma-
terials to their destinations.

5. The Commission supports the pro-
posal made by the French delegation of

chartering a ship to collect and deliver:

European aid to Vietnam. The voyages
and arrivals in port of such a ship will
provide Opportunities for mass cam-
paigns to raise aid and to appeal to the
conscience of the peoples.

(All organizations are asked to com-
municate their important projects to
the Stockholm office.) a
