On The Report On "The Necessity of An International
Condemnation of The Crimes of Communism" of PACE

To the President of the Parliamentary
Assembly of the Council of Europe
Mr. Rene Van der Linden

Honorable President!

We, the representatives of communist, workers' and left
parties of the countries of Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin
America, who have gathered at the International meeting of
the capital of Greece, Athens, address you with the demand
of ceasing the political provocation and withdrawing from
examination the report on " The necessity of an
international condemnation of the crimes of communism". The
discussion of this issue at the meeting of the political
committee on the 13th of September of this year, in Paris,
demonstrated that primitive anti-communism is unacceptable
for sober-minded people. Nevertheless, as far as we are
informed, the initiators of this report do not give up
their efforts to bring it up for discussion, once more, in
the immediate future.

We call upon you, Mr. President, to stop these efforts and
not impart to PACE an inappropriate trial function.
