Decision “adding fuel to the fire” of the imperialist interventions

The international Court of Hague decided today that the so called “declaration of Kosovo independence” did not violate the International Law. Although this decision is not legally binding it is obvious that it will make a serious legal precedent.

This decision of the International Court of Hague proves once again what KKE has long ago warned of, namely that the international law formed after the Second World War, as a result of the correlation of forces between imperialism one the one hand, and the Soviet Union and the people’s republics on the other, no longer exists. It has gone to pieces!

On the one hand, the international organisations cover for the USA, NATO and other imperialist forces so that they can promote their interests. On the other hand, they have been turned into a field of confrontation and provisional compromises between the big imperialist powers. For that reason, the decision of the International Court of Hague “legitimates” the war machine of NATO, the imperialist war in Balkans and of course its results, that is the protectorate of Kosovo.

This decision constitutes a warning for the Greek people as well, who see the Greek governments of PASOK and ND to rely on NATO, the EU and the International Court of Hague as regards the problems between Greece and Turkey. At the same time this decision is particularly dangerous as it adds fuel to the fire of the existing and non existing minority issues which are utilized by the imperialist powers for their interventions. The Balkan region is in danger of entering a new cycle of imperialist interventions and bloody conflicts under the pretext of the “protection” of minorities.

The peoples should not have any illusions about the so called “international institutions” and the alleged “global democratic governance “of capitalism. The only hope for the peoples is the firm and mass anti-imperialist struggle, their common front against imperialism and its unions, a struggle which is inextricably linked with the struggle for the overthrow of capitalism and the construction of socialism.
