Congress condemned the complicity of our UK and Scottish government in the growing international crisis. 
Kate Ramsden
It called for Scotland to pursue a foreign policy based on peace, international solidarity and respect for sovereignty and set out clear calls to action on both Venezuela and the Middle East.
Supporting, ATUC’s Kate Ramsden said that at the minute international law is being ridden roughshod over, primarily by the US and Israel, leading to a real threat of world disorder.
“They seem able to do this with utter impunity,” said Kate, “Aided and abetted by the UK and Scottish Government.”
She pointed out that Prestwick Airport has been repeatedly used by US military aircraft heading to bases across the Middle East.
“Yet Prestwick Airport belongs to the Scottish government. It’s in public hands. There is no excuse for that airport being used to support an illegal war.
“No nation has the right to interfere in the sovereign affairs of another. That’s a given,” said Kate.
