CPP/Ang Bayan: 25 years of The Ha­gue Decla­ra­ti­on

Propaganda article from the English edition of Ang Bayan posted to the Communist Party of the Philippines Website (Sep 7): 25 years of The Ha­gue Decla­ra­ti­on

PROGRESSIVE GROUPS, together with key personalities of the National Democratic Front of the Philippines and the GRP peace negotiations marked the 25th year anniversary of The Hague Joint Declaration which was signed on September 1, 1992.

Around 500 gathered at the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City last September 2 to celebrate the agreement which has served as the framework of the ardous efforts to achieve a just and historical peace in the country.

The declaration remains as the framework for the negotiations up to now, Jose Ma. Sison, Chief Political Consultant to NDFP negotiating panel, said. This is despite efforts of consecutive reactionary regimes to junk the agreement. Among these was the the denouncement of the then US-Aquino regime of the agreement as a “document of perpetual division” in an attempt to weaken the basis of the talks and hasten the capitulation of the revolutionary movement.

Personalities previously involved in the talks, such as Sen. Loren Legarda, bishops and other church leaders attended the event.
