ICOR Resolution: Solidarity against the brutal anti-communist wave of repression in the Philippines 28 January 2021

Written by: on

The CPA (M-L) is a signatory to the ICOR resolution of solidarity against the brutal anti-communist wave of repression in the Philippines.

One of the demands by the 34 signatories to this resolution is for “Removal of the organizations CPP and NPA (New Peoples Army) from the terror lists of the U.S., EU, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.”

In 2013, we made three unsuccessful submissions to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade for the removal of Comrade Jose Maria Sison, the Communist Party of the Philippines, and the New People’s Army from the Australian terror list. We call on interested individuals and organisations to review these submissions and make their own.

ICOR Resolution
For 52 years, the revolutionary movement in the Philippines, led by the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP), has been waging the justified struggle for national and social liberation.

The proto-fascist Duterte regime in the Philippines takes action against it with increasing terror, denouncing and defaming the liberation organizations and their representatives as "terrorist", assassinating leading representatives, killing and persecuting activists of the human rights, women's and youth movements, as well as trade unionists. With terrorist methods and an increasing fascistization of the state apparatus, the Duterte regime seeks to suppress the outbreak of a general societal crisis. However, in the Philippines too, the world economic and financial crisis is intensifying in interrelation with the corona crisis, and the masses' search for a genuine societal alternative is growing.
