MESSAGES BE SENT
In a press release issued April 17 the International War Crimes Tribunal announced that it will hold its first sessions April 29 to May 9 in Paris at the Municipal Theatre, Issy—-les—Moulineaux (Salle des Sports).
Despite the tremendous pressure brought to bear by the American government to discredit the body of eminent men brought together by Bertrand Russell to investigate U.S. war crimes in Vietnan, the tribunal will carry through its projected hearings.
At this opening session the tribunal will deliberate on two questions:
"1. Has the United States government...committed acts of aggression according to international law? TO WAR CRIMES TRIBUNAL
"2. Has there been bombardment of targets of a purely civilian character, for example, hospitals, schools, sanatoria, dams, etc., and on what scale has this occurred?
"In carrying out its enquiry the Tribunal will examine evidence from individual witnesses, as well as from the investigating teams of lawyers, doctors, surgeons, and other specialists who have spent the past months in Vietnam and Canbodia on behalf of the Tribunal..."
Messages of solidarity should be sent to the War Crimes Tribunal. Particularly important are declarations of support from trade-union, peace, political, student and youth organizations. The Paris office of the tribunal is: 22 rue Etienne Marcel, Paris 2, France.
