RESOLUTIONS PROPOSED BY THE GLOBAL AFRIKAN CONGRESS
FAMILY GATHERING IN THE NETHERLANDS (OCTOBER 3-5, 2003)
RESOLUTION: (DUTCH) ANTILLES & SURINAM CAUCUS LINKED TO GAC EUROPE

Organisations in the (Dutch) Antilles and Surinam are already working to give body to an Antillean and Surinam caucus. It is realistic and logical that this caucus be a part of the Caribbean region, but also natural, from an historical perspective that an Antillean and Surinam caucus be linked to GAC Europe, due to the triangular and forced relationship between the Antillean islands, the Netherlands and Surinam.

Therefore, be it resolved that the GAC Europe accept that it is good and beneficial to implement an official caucus of GAC in the Antilles, the Netherlands, and Surinam.

RESOLUTION: GAC-NETHERLANDS, GAC-BELGIUM & GAC-FRANCE

With the persistently false, negative and racist misrepresentation of Afrikan people in the European controlled media, (mis) education system, and all other European and European controlled institutions, With a consistent European programme that presents a false and misleading history that is ethically cleansed of all Afrikan content,

Further, that such unjust acts are oppressive and injurious to the spiritual, social, psychological and economic health and well-being of all Afrikan people, and constitute affronts to human dignity and crimes against humanity,

Considering the vast number of examples demonstrating unjust practices i.e. ZWARTE PETE in Netherlands, PERÈ FOUETTARD in France and the exhibition of Afrikans in Belgium animal parks, Be it resolved that the GAC recognize such practices as a basis for Reparations, Be it further resolved that the GAC calls upon the United Nations to investigate these past and continuing human right infringements,

Be it further resolved that the GAC call for the immediate cessation of all such practices, with a forth coming recognition of the wrongdoing in the form of a written apology from the offending parties, And be it further resolved that the GAC institutes measures to monitor and report the incidence of these, and similar, practices in these named countries and those around the world.

RESOLUTION: GAC-UNITED KINGDOM

(1) Be it resolved that the term "SLAVE TRADE" be discarded as an unacceptable term to describe Our history of enslavement and genocide, from Continental invasion to (present) globalisation, at the hands of the Arab and European Nations alike, and replaced with the Afrikan terms "MAAFA and MAANGAMIZI".

(2) Whereas all Afrikans are workers and We recognise that all Afrikan workers must be organised, We strongly urge that all organised Afrikan workers must work towards the liberation of Afrikan workers world-wide. To this end, the Global Afrikan Congress must work towards building an (independent) "Afrikan Trade Union" (movement).

(3) Whereas, We recognise that as Afrikan people We have and continue to suffer from European and Arab terrorism as a direct result of the events that transpired in the "TRANS-ATLANTIC" and present-day "SUB-SAHARAN" ENSLAVEMENT" of Afrikan people, and that this (historical) terrorism has not ended, for wherever Afrikan people are found We are still subject to the devastating effects of this "Global Terrorism",

Be it resolved that the GAC take a firm stance to oppose the attempt by the governments of the United States and United Kingdom, in the aftermath of September 11 2001, the war on Afghanistan, Iraq, and the so-called war on terror, to label Afrikan people and the Afrikan continent as terrorists or terrorist states.

Be it further resolved that the GAC takes an oppositional stance against the internal and external, national and international anti-terrorist legislation and, or laws designed to be used to target the continent of Afrika and Afrikans in the Diaspora.

Be it further resolved that the GAC call upon all Afrikan governments and political forces on the Afrikan continent and in the Diaspora to cease and desist from the overt and covert support of the white supremacist, imperialist war of aggression masquerading as a war against terrorism.
