New Zealand anti-war activity.
>Auckland, New Zealand, Gulf Crisis committee formed in the first 
Gulf War has revived itself. It has picketted the airbase from 
which the NZ SAS contingent left for the Gulf today. It has 
organised  pickets of the US Consulate, and an emergency picket will 
take place in the event of bombing. The following four points were 
agreed as the basis of a united front:
(1) We condemn the US-led military forces renewed attack on Iraq and 
call for their withdrawal from the region.
(2)Under any circumstances, we condemn plans by the US and Israel to 
use nuclear weapons against Iraq.
(3)We oppose all mobilisation for New Zealand military involvement in 
the Gulf and sup;port all those who refuse to go.
(4) We call for immediate lifting of sanctions and embargoes against 
Iraq and condemn the UN and belligerent governments, including New 
Zealand for the seven years of untold death and suffering inflicted 
on Iraq by these means.
It would be good if the anti-war activists in the US and the 
front-line states from which the attacks are likely to be made, could 
coordinate international actions.
