Notes and topics

BR, writing on the anniversary of the Geneva agreements, feels "... that the necessity to condemn solemnly and completely the terrible crimes of the U.S. aggressors can best be fulfilled by a tribunal of international stature which will express the conscience of mankind in its indictment of the war criminals in Washington."

BR suggests that "the U.S. pilots who are in custody in the D.R.V. could be tried by the tribunal itself in Paris."

Those listed in support of a tribunal include: Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Peter Weiss, Isaac Deutscher, and Stokely Carmichael (President of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee).
