UCU: No invasions, occupations, annexations or ethnic cleansing

Motion

Motion text: Congress condemns threats and moves to invade countries, to occupy and annex
territories and expel populations.
It condemns threats by Trump to take over the Panama Canal, in violation of
Panamanian sovereignty, to purchase Greenland, against the wishes of the
people of Denmark and Greenland and to occupy Gaza, expelling the Palestinian
population.
It condemns incursions by Israel into neighbouring countries. It reiterates its call
for withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine.
Congress believes that international relations should be conducted on the
principle that no country is another country’s backyard and that we oppose all
forms of imperialism.
Congress charges the NEC to uphold principles of the right to self-determination
and no annexations in UCU’s approach to international solidarity work and to
lobby the UK government to support such principles.
Congress calls on UCU members to support protests against invasions,
occupations, annexations and to defend the right to national self-determination.
