The Emergency International Anti-War Conference organised by the International Socialist Center Christian Rakovsky and the web network RedMed is opening on Saturday, 25 June and will go on over the weekend of 25-26 June. This is an online conference that brings together parties, organisations and individual fighters from two-dozen countries, with more than 45 speakers from Europe, the Middle East, North and South America, Africa and Australasia.
Below is the tentative programme of the conference. As the number of participants is rising by the day, there will in all probability be new names to be added to the list of speakers. We will publish an updated version once again before the conference.
