Peruvian Lawyer Calls for Methods to Stop US-Led Wars

Havana, Nov 15 (acn) The so-called "War on Terror" unleashed by the 
Bush administration is not based on actions in defense of U.S. 
sovereignty but on the flagrant violation of international treaties on 
the topic, said a Peruvian lawyer Thursday in Havana.

Maria del Pilar Olavide, Peru's International Law School counselor told 
acn that Washington's attacks on nations like Iraq and are crimes 
registered by the international law.

Olavide is attending the 5th World Seminar and Workshop on Humanitarian 
International Law taking place in Havana since November 14. She said 
war and interfering acts threaten the national independence of the 
target countries, while putting at risk the lives of civilians.

Speaking on the last working session of the conference held this 
Thursday, Olavide called on participants to create a new international 
legal framework to put an end to American imperialist actions.

The law expert stressed that wars not only result in dead and wounded 
peoplebut also in hampering the developing economies, with an impact on 
public life and services plus a usually large number of displaced 
people.
