The World Federation of Democratic Youth would like to extend its solidarity with Victims of use of Nuclear weapons in Hiroshima and Nagasaki on this sad commemoration of 66th anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki Day.

On this sad occasion we would like to remind that the first festival of WFDY had highlighted two issues in the village near Prague where there were devastated consequences of Nazi war. The first issue was how fascism and its alliances did its barbaric acts to the people of weaker nation, different ideology and races whereas another issue is on the use of nuclear bomb by the United State against civilian people of Japan. No logics can justify such use of nuclear weapons in the cities of any moral war and no any reason for safety and retaliation to any aggression can justify the use of nuclear weapon against any civilians and in the case in which the bomb was used by the USA against Japan it worth to underline that the country had, in fact, already surrendered and stopped hostilities. Due to the drop of these nuclear weapons in august 6th and august 11, 1945, 90000- 160000 people in Hiroshima and 60 to 80 thousand people in Nagasaki were died of which 60 percent were killed at its first flash burns.

WFDY has always clear stance about imperialist and war policy of Japan that had carried out lot of suffering to the people of Korea, China, and Indo-China and making alliance with fascism for aggression is condemnable; and people’s resisting for their liberation and freedom in the countries always deserve victory. In fact, such war policy of Japan had pushed and misused the peace loving, dedicated and patriotic common people of Japan for war and aggression against neighbors. At the same time, we have our all respect and solidarity to the common people of Japan that they are great aspirators against nuclear weapons, defenders for any violation against their constitution of non-aggression and to promote peace and harmony in the world.

The third and fourth festival of WFDY had highlighted the issue of nuclear weapon to be abolished from world; and in many times we had taken some serious campaign against disarmament. The world is stepping in 21st century and our tragic sadness of using nuclear weapons has matured by 66 years. However, it is invisible that all the accumulation of nuclear weapons in this world with capacity to destroy this world many times and every corner to demonstrate the final show of idiocy spending billions of dollars while people in other world are dying from hunger, starvation and AIDS pandemic.

Finally, we express our commitment to fight against accumulation of nuclear weapons on this planet and to fight for the cause of disarmament in which the imperialist world order is first and foremost responsible, and pushing the whole humanity into the brink of disaster. The world needs full denuclearization and disarmament, not the hypocrite measures that USA (the only country that has actually ever used the bomb) and its imperialist allies demand from other countries (Iran, DPRK, etc.) while they keep developing aggressions and occupations and more higher technological and precise nuclear weapons.

Further, we express our solidarity with the struggles carried out by our member organizations in Japan JLSY, KYLJ, DYLJ, as well as all other members of WFDY, in those fronts.

The World Peace Council and the World Federation of Democratic Youth are uniting their voices with the hundreds of millions of peace loving people, the Youth and Students in all corners of the world, in solidarity with the people of Palestine which is suffering a slow genocide under the occupation of its territories. The case of the ongoing occupation of Palestine by the Israeli regime constitutes a crime against humanity and a flagrant provocation against the thousands who suffered and struggled heroically for the noble goal of freedom and justice. Despite the many concessions made from Palestinian side during the years in order to find a viable and just solution, the governments of Israel and the current one, refuse to accept the right of the Palestinian People for their independent State alongside Israel.

We express our sincere and full-hearted solidarity with the Palestinian men and women, the youth and the students in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and East Jerusalem in their desire to end the humiliation, the discrimination and the occupation.

We condemn the support US imperialism is giving throughout the years to the Israeli occupation of Palestine and the hypocritical policy of the E.U. which is keeping “equal distance” from the aggressors and the victims.

We consider it to be the high time to have this year in September the recognition of the independent State of Palestine within the borders of 4th June 1967 and with East Jerusalem as its capital.

We call upon the Member States of the UN to adopt in the General Assembly this proposal and the United Nations as such, to proceed with the necessary steps to ensure this demand which is being embraced by the vast majority of the nations in the world.

We underline our demands for the release of all Palestinian political prisoners from Israeli jails and the right for Palestinian refugees for their return according to the UN Resolution 194.

We furthermore salute the peace loving forces inside Israel who struggle side by side with the Palestinians for their just cause and reiterate our solidarity to all peoples in the region who are struggling against imperialism, its mechanisms and policies.

Lastly we underline our categorical rejection to the foreign occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan and to the ongoing imperialist aggression against the people of Libya as well as against any foreign intervention in the internal affairs of the countries of the region. The peoples have the sovereign right to determine and fight for their freedom, democracy and social justice.

Under this light WFDY and the WPC will undertake a common initiative and organize a solidarity mission to Palestine during September 18-22, 2011 to meet with Youth and Peace organizations in order to express our strong support to the campaign for the recognition of the independent State of Palestine and our concrete solidarity with the peoples under occupation.
