The Perdana Global
Peace Organisation is organizing a conference and
Exhibition entitled EXPOSE WAR CRIMES:
CRIMINALISE WAR from 5th to 7th February 2007
from 8.30am. to 5.30pm. at the Putra World Trade Centre,
Kuala Lumpur. The Conference will be held at Dewan
Merdeka, PWTC while the Exhibition, which will be
extended to February 11 2007, will be held at Dewan Tun
Razak Hall 4.
This Conference and
Exhibition is the continuation of our efforts to
publicise and garner as much support as possible to the
Kuala Initiative to Criminalise War
which was launched by Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamed in
December 2005.
The objectives of
this Conference and Exhibition are:
- To educate and enlighten
participants and visitors that wars are wantonly
destructive and essentially unnecessary.
- To inculcate a general
abhorrence for war and conflict such that war
mongers should be held accountable for their
crimes against humanity.
- To challenge whatever
general sense of apathy still exists today.
- To instill the advocacy of
‘No War but Peace’ and ‘Make War History’.
- To highlight the role of
the War Crimes Tribunal in ensuring justice for
the international community
- To provide space for
debate, discussion and sharing of thoughts on
this crucial issue that threatens human
extinction.
The War Crimes exhibition would
be the first of its kind to be held in a Muslim
country and will highlight atrocities committed in
Bosnia, Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon, Vietnam and not
forgetting the nuclear devastation in Hiroshima and
Nagasaki. An interactive exhibition, visitors would
be exposed also to the horrors of the tortures
inflicted on detainees held in the Abu Ghraib and
Guantanamo prisons.
They have also assembled an
internationally renowned panel of speakers to
address the delegates gathered here from all over
the world. The following have confirmed their
acceptance to speak at the Conference.
