OPEN WAY TOWARDS A SOCIALIST ALGERIA
Programme Of The Communist Party of Algeria
New Age, Communist Party Weekly
mew Delhi, August 5, 1962
The recently-published Programme of the Alge-
rian Communist Party is "a programme of national
liberation, true democracy and economic and social
progress.
"It is the programme for the building of an Alberiar_ State, of national
de ocracy, which should open pup the way towards a socialist Algeria", de-
cles this historic document- the first and so far the only statement of aims
by any Algerian political group.
In defining "What the Algerian Republic Should be", it calls firstly for
"an independent republic, sovereign, one and indivisible", making it clear
that this implies the evacuation "sooner or later" of French troops and bases.
Algerian unity "implies the ending of all privileges arising out of
colonisation. This is not incompatible with the guaranteeing of the legitimate
non-colonialist interests of the Algerian minority of European or of Jewish
origin, with their equal representation within the elected assemblies, respect
for their particular language, culture and religion, within the framework of
Algerian law. "
Secondly, the Programme declares that the Algerian Republic should
be "a truly democratic republic". This, it points out, implies the rejection
of authoritarian methods and of repression of the masses. "
True democracy "should also be apparent in the
institutions of the Algerian state", to be created
by a Constituent National Assembly elected by
direct, single, universal and secret ballot by all
over the age of 18, with all Algerians over the age
of 20 eligible to stand as candidates.
This Constituent Assembly should draw up a Constitution. Its provisions
should include:
- a single National Assembly elected for four years, with a
government formed by it and responsible to it;
- a national non-regular people's army which "will help in
the tasks of reconstruction to the extent that it is not occupied
with national defence.... The people will ensure that this army
... is not used as an instrument of reactionary and anti-
democratic policies, as has been the case in many Middle East
and Latin American countries";
- guarantees for human rights, individual liberty and freedom
of thought, opinion, press, public meetings, association, worship,
the recognition of trade union rights and the right to strike.
Thirdly, the Algerian Republic should be "a Social Republic" - "political
independence alone will not bring about the tremendous change in the situation
which is required: it should be accompanied by true economic independence
and radical social measures. "
Analysing the economic situation of Algeria, the Programme points out
that it is characterised by "the relationship of domination and dependence im-
posed by the colonial regime.
"This domination is first of all direct; the landed property owners,
ultra-colonialists, possess the best land whilst the French monopolists and
foreign monopolists have their hands on the mineral and fuel resources, on
industrial enterprises and the banks....
"Domination is equally indirect; it is exercised by colonial institutions
imposed on the people, such as the Custom s Union (with France - Ed.) free-

The Programme makes a critical examination of the financial and eco-
nomic provisions of the Evian Agreement which brought about a cease-fire in
Algeria.
The Agreement marked a "considerable step for-
ward" and "admits the principle of the economic
and financial sovereignty of Algeria" but "there are
limitations to certain parts of this sovereignty, in
particular in the section dealing with agrarian reform
and nationalisation of the main wealth of the country. "
The Algerian Communist Party demands the complete ending of eco-
nornic and financial dependence on French imperialism, the breaking of the
stranglehold of the French and international monopolies and an end to the
privileges enjoyed by the colonialists and feudalists.
It calls for an economic plan to develop the national economy, diversi-
fy production (thus ending the dependence on a small number of crops or pro-
ducts characteristic of colonial economies) and improve living standards.
This plan should be based on:
- agrarian reform;
- the mobilisation of savings for investment, above all in heavy industry;
- full employment on work of national interest.
On the first point, the Programme declares that
"the Algerian Communist Party proposes the confis-
cation, pure and simple, and without compensation,
of land owned by the big colonialists, " pointing out
that these number about 7,000 and alone own about
90 per cent of the colonis&'d land.
It calls for the confiscation of the land of the big Algerian feudal land-
owners and of big estates belonging to landlords who I ollaborated with the
French colonialists.
The surplus land of big proprietors who did not betray the national
cause wiould also be limited "in friendly fashion and taking into account
the value of the land. It
The land should be redistributed free to landless poor peasants, to
middle peasants with insufficient land (with priority for ex- servicemen of
the Algerian Liberation Army and the families of those who died in the war)
and also to "small farmers who are Algerian citizens: of European origin
who have insufficient land (giving priority to those who assisted the Algerian
Liberation Army)".
It calls for the encouragement of genuine agricultural cooperatives.
Certain big estates (notably the big vineyards producitig good wines of which
the export forms a big part of Algeria's national revenue) should become
cooperatives or State farms run by agricultural workers and technicians.
The Programme's section on industrialisation
calls for the nationalisation of Algeria's natural
wealth, including the rich Sahara oil and natural
gas deposits, coal, iron, phosphates etc.
In addition to the building of a heavy industry, which it sees as the
basis of economic independence, the Programme proposes the extension
of light industry, including controlled private enterprise, the encourage-
ment of traditional and modern artisans' cooperatives and the extension of
the country's road and rail system built up by the colonialists primarily
to facilitate the country's exploitation and the rapid deployment of troops.

The Programme outlines a series of social measures, including
steps to aid victims of the war, a fair wage policy of equal pay for equal
work, the eight-hour day, health, education, housing and women's rights.
Underlining that progress depends upon "the total
and enthusiastic mobilisation of our people", the
Programme declares that "the first condition for
this mobilisation is the conscious and resolute unity
in action of all anti-imperialist and progressive
forces within the nation.
"The Assembly on the basis of a common programme, should make
itself into a Front of national organisations grouped together, respecting
the autonomy of each organisation and within the framework of a common
discipline.
"Many patriots and leaders of the National Liberation Front feel that
this assembly should be one single party. What should be the programme
and ideology of this one party? The attitude of the Algerian Communist Party
will be determined by the reply to this question.
"The Algerian Communist Party is opposed to a single party based on
nationalist bourgeois ideology. Such a party, even if its composition is
popular, even if its leaders spring from the working class or the working
peasantry, would sooner or later be the instrument for the domination of
the working masses by the bourgeoisie, even if this bourgeoisie has not at
the present moment a solid economic foundation in the country. "
The Algerian Communist Party will be in favour of a single Party
based on working class ideology if the political and social conditions are
created, the Programme goes on, recalling the example of the United
Socialist Party of Cuba.
"But whilst working for a single party formed on
such a basis, and for the time when political and
social conditions will be ripe for such a party, the
Communist Party of Algeria does not support the
suppression of parties reflecting the interests of
anti-imperialist bourgeois or petit-bourgeois sections
Abroad, the Programme advocates a policy of peaceful coexistence,
non-adherence to military blocs (specifically excluding the use of the Algerian
Sahara as a nuclear testing ground), solidarity with Morocco and Tunisia who
are on the way to building a united Arab Maghreb based on anti-imperialism,
democracy and social progress and cooperative and friendly relations with all
countries, above all with the Socialist countries.
"Neither agrarian reform nor nationalisation will be sufficient to build
socialism, " it declares.
Socialism, it goes on, means:
_ the social ownership of the principal means of production;
- the progressive collectivisation of agriculture;
-'working class leadership of thd riational'and progressive forces;
- the existence of a strong Marxist-Leninist Party.
"It is in order to lead our people, together with all Algerian patriotic
andp-rogreosive.forces, that our Party, conscious of its guiding role, has
set rut this programme and puts it before all Algerians, in this year which
ought to be the start of new struggles for independence, for land and bread,
for work and education, true democracy and the unlimited progress of our
nation", it concludes.

Marx's Theory of the Alienation of the Worker
Since Marx's concept of socialism is closely related to the transformation
of "alienated labor" into "free labor" it is useful to determine exactly how he
conceived of these terms. In the first of four essays -- subsequently entitled
the Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts -- which were written between
April an August 1844 (iretlier wars early^nn his career, pre -dating even the
Communist Manifesto), Karl Marx discusses in detail the question of alienation.
In act, the' first o t e four manuscripts bears the title, Alienated Labor. Marx
begins the manuscript by accusing contemporary political economists of tarting
with the fact of private property rather than explaining it, of failing to show, th^t
is, how the laws of political economy develop from the nature of private proper?.),.
Marx concludes that "the only moving forces which political economy recognizes
are avarice and the war between the avaricious, competition. " Marx defines
his task as one of demonstrating
"the real connection between this whole system of
alienation -- private property, the separation of labor,
capital and land, exchange and competition, value and
the devaluation of man, monopoly and competition --
and the system of money. "
In the process, he examines three types of alienation which occur in the pro-
duction process.
In discussing man's relationship to external nature from which he lives
(plant life, animal life, air, minerals etc.), Marx points out that the latter
constitute a part of human consciousness as objects of natural science to be
studied and as objects of creative activity to which man can give shape, pro-
a ortion color etc. From the practical aspect also they constitute part of human
life since man lives from nature's products in the form of food, fuel, clothing,
housing etc. Thus external nature is the direct means of life and also the
material object and instrument of life activity. According to Marx, "Conscious
life activity distinguishes man from the life activity of animals" which are one
with their life activity.
"Man makes his life activity itself an object of his
will and consciousness. Only for this reason is his
activity free activity. Alienated labor reverses the
relationship, in that man, because he is a self-
conscious being makes his life activity, his being,
only a means for his existence. "
Marx distinguishes three types of alienated labor. First of all, Alienation
of the Worker from the Products of his Labor. Materialistically, Marx chooses 'with to begin what he terms a "contemporary economic fact," that is, that
"The worker ri. e. in this case the alienated worker of
a modern industrial society-_7 becomes poorer the more,
wealth he produces ~oorer, that is in his "humanness"7....
The devaluation of the human world increases in direct
relation with the increase in value of the world of things.
Labor not only creates goods; it also produces itself
and worker as a commodity, in the same proportion as
it produces goods.... The alienation of the worker in
his product means not only that his labor becomes an
object, assumes that is an external existence, but that
it exists independently, outside himself, and alien to him,
and that it stands opposed to him as an automonous power. "
/The creation of the nuclear bomb might be used to illustrate a product which
fas assumed an external existence, alien to its creators and opposed to them
as an "autonomous" power.? Subsequently, Marx concludes: "Political econon j
conceals the alienation in the nature of labor insofar as it does not examine the
direct relationship between the worker (work) and production. " And, a bit
later, "The direct relationship of labor to its products is the relationship of the
worker to the objects of his production. "
The second category of alienation distinguished by Marx is Alienation of the
Worker in the Activity of Production. "Alienation appears not only in the result,
but also in the process of production." What constitutes alienation of the
production process ?

"First, that the work is external to the worker, that
it is not part of his nature; and that, consequently, he
does not fulfill himself in his work but denies himself,
has a feeling of misery rather than well being, does
not develop freely his mental and physical energies but
is physically exhausted and mentally debased. The
worker therefore feels himself at home only during
his leisure time, whereas at work he feels homeless.
His work is not voluntary but imposed, forced labor.
It is not the satisfaction of a need, but only a means
for satisfying other needs. Its alien character is
shown by the fact that as soon as there is no physical
or other compulsion it is avoided like the plague.
External labor, labor in which man alienates himself,
is a labor of self-sacrifice, of mortification. Finally,
the external character of work for the worker is shown
by the fact that it is not his own work but work for
someone else, that in work he does not belong to him-
self but to another person.... We arrive at the result
that man (the worker) feels himself to be freely active
only in his animal functions -- eating, drinking and
procreating, or at most also in his dwelling and in
personal adornment -- while in his human functions he
is reduced to an animal. it
Thirdly, in thejrocess of production, the worker is also alienated from
his "species life" / i.e. his identification as a human beinj7 since it transforms
the very activity through which he should confirm his "humanness" into a means
of physical existence. "Thus alienated labor turns the species life of man.. .
int^ an alien being and into a means for his individual existence. It alienates
man from his own body, external nature, his mental life and his human life. "
Marx summarizes: "A direct consequence of the alienation of man from the
product of his labor, from his life activity and from his species life is that
man is alienated from other men... What is true of man's relationship to his
work, to this product of his work and to himself, is also true of his relationship
to other men..." He then goes on to show that alienated labor in turn creates
the alien person to whom the product of the alienated labor belongs, i.e. the
"capitalist" (note that this is Marx's original definition).
"Through alienated labor the worker creates the
relation of another man, who does not work and is
outside the work process.... Private property
/1. e. the objects created by alienated labor and
which now belong to an alien being, the capitalist-/
is thus derived from the analysis of the concept of
alienated labor, alienated life, and estranged man. "
The example which comes to mind as the embodiment of Marx's idea of
"positive labor" is that of a thirteenth or fourteenth century goldsmith. Such
a "laborer" would creatively and joyfully shape external nature (in the form of
a golden metal) into an object in which he confirmed his "species being" and
his basic identity (through art) with his fellow man, thus confirming in concrete
form his human nature in such a way that he was not only able to fulfill himself
in his work but would (if he were of the caliber of let us say Benvenuto Cellini
of 16th Century Florence) contribute to "species image" of Western man for the
next 500 years and more.
The Communist world has continued until the very recent past to deny that
such a phenomenon as alienation could occur in a "socialist" state, and -- as
the Soviet, Polish and Czech daily press bear witness -- has not found realistic
or efficacious means for dealing with this important problem.

EVENTS UP TO OCTOBER 1962
After a period of relative calm, recent weeks have have again witnessed
marked symptoms of deterioration in Sino-Soviet relations. At the 22nd CPSU
Congress a year ago, the air rang with indirect attacks on Chinese policies,
thinly disguised as attacks on Albania and the "Anti-Party Group.." After the
Chinese Communists responded by attacking Soviet policies at the December
1961 meeting of the World Peace Council in Stockholm and elsewhere, Khrushchev
rejoined by turning the Chinese attacks on "full-belly socialism" against the
Chinese themselves, saying on 5 March that certain people were "preaching
equality in the spirit of the first Christian communities with their low standard
of living and asceticism," and adding: "Communism cannot be depicted as a
table with empty plates and occupied by highly conscious and completely equal
people. To invite people to such Communism is tantamount to inviting people
to eat soup with a fork. " But in mid-March, Moscow Radio stopped attacking
the Albanian leaders (except in broadcasts in Albanian, where the attacks ceased
in early April) until early May, and with the exception of certain mid-May
articles, there was an absence of polemic in the Soviet press until late June.
Instead, in early April there was glowing Soviet comment on a joint Chinese-
Soviet project on the Amur River and Pravda praised Chinese agronomists; on
20 April a Sino-Soviet protocol on goo s exc anges was signed with a great
display of politeness, although the Soviets appear to have offered no new credit,
On the Chinese side, a series of articles in Red Fla attacking Soviet policies
was interrupted from early March to late Apri , an in early July the principal
Chinese delegate to the Moscow Peace Congress stated the Chinese position in
moderate terms and praised Khrushchev personally. The Chinese also behaved
moderately at the Youth Festival in Helsinki, There was minor static at intervals
throughout this period, but nothing on the scale of that seen in the winter of
1961-2. It is possible that, behind the scenes, negotiations for a reconciliation
were going on.
If there were any such negotiations, they must now be suspended, or at
least in serious difficulty. Symptoms of friction and realignment include:
1. Chinese attacks on the doctrine of the priority of peaceful
coexistence and general disarmament were made in Red Fla (1 August),
at the 6th Congress of the WFDY (Warsaw, 10-16 August) and at the
7th Congress of the IUS (Leningrad, 18-29 August). The Red Fla
article advocated the Chinese pattern of revolution for co onia and
semi-colonial countries, while at Warsaw, Wang Chat-hua argued that
disarmament was not the only, or the most important way to safeguard
world peace. There and in Leningrad, the Chic oms maintained that
the essential thing was to weaken imperialism, in particular through
the national liberation movement; this would be the best way to secure
world peace (!). A Moscow youth paper, Moskovsky Komsomolets,
reacted by noting that "some students still underestimate the
importance of the disarmament problem and have a wrong idea of
the relationship between the struggle for national independence and
general and complete disarmament." would clc
2. On 25 September, V'w viet . f#icial^ rya;.: rtadly said that the USSR /
its two remaining consulates in China (Shanghai and Harbin); their
activities are to be taken over by the Soviet Embassy in Peking. The
Soviets claimed that the closure was based on reasons of economy,
but the USSR has never been stingy when it could maintain listening
posts in other countries, and there had been rumors on 20 September
that the Chic oms had requested the closing of Soviet consulates. On
5 September, the Soviets also announced that the Chinese Ambassador
was leaving Moscow for a new assignment; though the Embassy will
continue to function under a charge d'affaires, it is interesting that
the Chinese Ambassador did not (as did the West German Ambassador,
Kroll) see Khrushchev before his departure. So far as is known, the
present Soviet Ambassador in Peking has never been received
by Mao Tse-tung.
3. According to a report in the New York Times (24 September),
the Soviet theoretical journal Kommun st ? s noww published an article
warning revolutionaries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America against
"unjustified over-zeal," saying that capitalist economic forms must be
eliminated in a stage of "general democratic development" before newly
independent states can be ripe for Communism: "Neglect of general
democratic problems and undue haste may narrow the popular basis
of Socialist revolution and compromise the noble idea of Socialism in
the eyes of the masses." This amounts to a serious attack, not only
on current Chicom policy, but also on China's own revolution.

Chinese People's Republic was celebrated in Peking, with hundreds
of thousands of marchers passing the reviewing stand, but no
important Soviet official observable in it. At a Chinese anniversary
rally in Moscow, the highest Soviet representative was the Minister
of Higher and Specialized Secondary Education, G. M. Pushkin. On
30 September, Chou En-lai renewed the Chinese attack on "modern
revisionism," implicitly including Khrushchev as well as Tito in the
charge, and maintained that efforts to "isolate" China would be
fruitless. And at the anniversary ceremonies in Tirana, the Chinese
delegation chief voiced Chinese opposition to "great power chauvinism
e. , Soviet chauvinisrR. "
5. The visit of the Soviet titular chief of state, L. I. Brezhnev,
has provoked new attacks on Yugcolavia from Peking and Tirana.
On Brezhnev's arrival on 24 September, Belgrade Radio disclosed
that the Soviet party included "Deputy of the Supreme Soviet Andropov."
Andropov, whose first name and patronymic are Yuriy Vladimirovich,
is also, and far more important, the chief of the CPSU Central
Committee Department for Liaison with Communist and Workers'
Parties of Socialist Countries, as well as a former Soviet Ambassador
to Hungary, a has frequently traveled to various satellite capitals.
His presence is significant, in that it suggests that in addition to
improving relations between the two countries at the state level, an
attempt may be made for closer cooperation at the Party level as well.
Brezhnev's visit, ostensibly at the head of a parliamentary group, may
have resulted from another "parliamentary" visit in the opposite
direction. Brezhnev's tour was announced on 10 July, shortly after
a delegation of members of the Yugoslav Federal People's Assembly,
headed by Pete Stambulic, toured the Soviet Union in the last week of
June and the first week of July. Among the Yugoslav delegates was
Dusan Mugosa, a Party leader in the Kosmet district, which is
Yugoslavia's Albanian minority region; Mugosa was instrumental in
organizing the Albanian Workers Party (the Albanian CP) after World
War II. Recently, during Brezhnev's visit (on 30 September),
Mugosa stated, in a speech reported by Borba, that communism in
Albania was threatened by Hoxha and Shehu, and asserted that even
Albanian Politburo members lacked confidence in them. These facts
suggest that the Soviet Union may have given tacit consent to Yugoslav
policies directed toward the overthrow of the Albanian regime and its
replacement by one controlled by - or at least sympathetic to - the
Yugoslav brand of "socialism. " The presence of individuals like
Andropov and Mugosa in delegations is often overlooked by non-Commu-
nists, but does not pass unnoticed by the veteran Party leaders in
Peking and Tirana.

TEXT OF FINAL COMMUNIQUE OF ASIAN-AFRICAN PARLEY
The Asian-African conference, convened by the Government of Burma,
Ceylon, India, Indonesia and Pakistan, met in Bandung from the 18th to 24th of
April, 1955.
In addition to the sponsoring countries, the following twenty-four
countries participated in the conference:
Afghanistan, Cambodia, People's Republic of China, Egypt, Ethiopia,
Gold Coast, Iran, Iraq, Japan, Jordan, Laos, Lebanon, Liberia, Libya, Nepal,
the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, Thailand, Turkey, Democratic
Republic of (North) Vietnam, State of Vietnam and Yemen.
The Asian-African conference considered the position of Asia and Africa
and discussed ways and means by which their poeples could achieve the fullest
economic cultural and political cooperation.
A. Economic Cooperation
1. The Asian-African conference recognized the urgency of promoting
economic development in the Asian-African region. There was general desire
for economic cooperation among the participating countries on the basis of
mutual interest.and respect for national sovereignty.
The proposals with regard to economic cooperation within the participating
countries do not preclude either the desirability or the need for cooperation
with countries outside the region, including the investment-of foreign capital.
It was further recognized that assistance being received by certain
participating. countries from outside the region through international or under
bilateral arrangements had made a valuable contribution to the implementation
of their development programs.
2. The participating countries agree to provide technical assistance to
one another, to the maximum extent practicable, in' the form of:
Expert, trainees, pilot projects, and equipment for demonstra-
tion purposes;
Exchange, of know-how, and establishment of national and- where
possible- regional training and research institutes for imparting
technical knowledge and skills in cooperation with the existing
international agencies.
Development Funds Proposed
3.
The early establishment of a special United Nations fund for
economic development;
The allocation by the International Bank for Reconstruction
and Development of a greater part of its resources to Asian-
African countries;
The early establishment of an international finance corporation,
which should include in its activities the undertaking of equity
investment ; and
Encouragement of the promotion of joint ventures among Asian-
African countries insofar as this will promote their common
interest.
4. The Asian-African conference recognized the vital need for stabilizing
commodity trade in the region.
The principle of enlarging the scope of multilateral trade and payments was
accepted. However, it was recognized that some countries would have to take
recourse to bilateral trade arrangements in view of their prevailing economic
conditions.

5. The Asian-African conference recommended that collective action
be taken by participating countries for stabilizing international prices of and-
demand for primary commodities through bilateral and multilateral arrange-
ments, and that'as far as practicable and desirable they should adopt a unified
approach on the subject in the United Nations Permanent Advisory Commission
on International Commodity Trade and other international forums.
6. The Asian-African conference further recommended:
Asian-African countries should diversify their export trade by
processing their raw-materials whenever economically feasible
before export; intra-regional trade fairs should be promoted
and. encouragement be given .to the exchange of trade delegations
and groups of businessmen;, exchange of'information and of
samples should be encouraged with a view to promoting intra-
regional trade; and normal facilities should be provided for, the
transit trade of landlocked countries.

Nuclear Energy Stressed
IO.' The Asian-Af rican conference emphasized'the particular
significanee of the development of nuclear energy for the peaceful purposes
for. Asian-African countries.
The conference.w alcomed the initiative of the powers principally
concerned in'offering to make available information regarding the use of
atomic energy for peaceful purposes;
Urged the speedy establishment of an international atomic energy
agency which should provide for adequate.representation of the Asian-
African countries on the executive authority of the agency; and
Recommended that Asian and African governments take full advantage
of the training and other facilities in the peaceful uses of atomic energy
offered by the countries sponsoring such programs.
11. The Asian-African conference agreed to. the appointment of
liaison officers in participating countries, to be nominated by their
respective national. governments, for the exchange ;of information and
matters of mutual interest.
It recommended that fuller use should be made of the existing inter-
national. organizations, and participating countries w.ho were not members
of such international organizations but were eligible should secure member-
ship.
12. The Asian-African conference recommended, that there should
be prior consultation of participating countries in international forums with
a view, as far as possible, to furthering their mutual economic interest.
It is, however, not intended to form a regional bloc.

B. Cultural Cooperation.
1. The Asian-.Afri.can conference was convinced,. that among the most
powerful means of promoting understanding among nations is the develop-
ment of cultural cooperation. Asia and Africa have been the cradle of great
religions and civilizations which have enriched other cultures and civili-
zations while themselves being enriched in the process.
Thus the cultures of Asia and Africa are based on spiritual and
universal foundations. Unfortunately, cultural contacts among Asian
and African countries were interrupted during the past centuries.
The people of Asia and Africa are now animated by a keen and sincere
de sire to renew-their old cultural contacts and develop new ones in the
context of the modern world. All participating governments at the conference
reiterated their declaration to work for icloser cultural cooperation.
The Asian-African conference took note of the fact that the existence
of colonialism in many parts of Asia and Africa, in whatever form it may
be, not only prevents. cultural cooperation but also suppresses the national
cultures of the peoples.
Basic Rights Found Denied
Some colonial powers.have denied their dependent peoples basic rights
in the sphere of education and culture, which hampers the development of
their personality and also prevents cultural intercourse with other Asian-
and African peoples.
This is particularly true in the case of Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco,
where the basic right of the people to study their own language and culture
has been suppressed.
Similar discrimination has been practiced against African and Colored
people in some parts of the Continent of Africa.
The conference felt that these policies amount to a denial of the
fundamental rights of man, impede cultural advancement in this region and
also hamper cultural cooperation on the wide international plan.
The conference condemned such a denial of fundamental rights in the
sphere of education and culture in some parts of Asia and Africa by this
and other. forms of cultural suppression.
In particular, the conference condemned racialism as a means of
cultural suppression.
3. It was not from any sense of exclusiveness or rivalry with other
groups of nations and other civilizations and cultures that the .conference
viewed the development of cultural cooperation among Asian and African
countries.
For World Cultural Ties
True to the age-old tradition of tolerance and universality, the
conference believed that Asian,and African cultural cooperation should be
developed in the larger context of world cooperation.
Side. by side with the development of Asian-African cultural coopera-
tion the countries of Asia and Africa desire to develop cultural contacts
with others. This would enrich their own culture and would also help in
the promotion of world peace and understanding.
4. There are,many countries in Asia and Africa which have not yet
been able to develop their educational, scientific and technical institutions.
The conference recommended that countries in Asia and Africa which
are more fortunately placed in this respect should give facilities for the
admission of students and trainees from such' countries to their institutions.

Such facilities should also be made available to the Asian and
African people in Africa, to whom opportunities for. acquiring higher
education are at present denied.
5. The Asian-African conference felt that the promotion of
cultural cooperation among countries of Asia and Africa should be
directed towards:
a. The acquisition of knowledge of each other country;
b. Mutual Cultural exchange; and
c. Exchange of information.
6 The Asian-'African conference w;a,s of the opi'nion that at this
stage the best results in cultural; cooperation-would be achieved by pur-
suing bilateral arrangements. to mplem:ent its. recomtend.at ons and by
each country taking action on-its own wherever possible and feasible.
Eights'- and. Sc if- Determination
C. Human
1. The Asian-African conference declared its full- support of the
fw damental principles of. human rights as set forth in the Charter of the
United Nations and took note` of the iJniversal. Declaration of Hum"an Rights
as a common ,standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations..:
The conference decl'a.xedits full support of the principle of self
determination of peoples and nations..as, set forth in the Charter of the
United.`Natiois and. took note of'the United Nations resolutions `on th"e
right of. 'people's and nations to self-determiuiation, vuhi c li is a pre
requisite of the full enjoyment of all fundamental human .rights.
2. The Asian-African conference deplored thepoli.cies and practices..
of racial segregation and discrimination which form ?the.taasia.of.geve.rnu ent
and' human. relations in large regions of Africa and in other, parts of the world.
Such conduct is not only a . 'gro s s violation of human rights but also
a denial of "the fundamental values of civiliza.t on and' the dignity of man.
The conferenice extended its warm sympathy and support for the
courageous stand taken by the ictir' "i of racial discrimination, especially
by the peoples of African and Indian and Pakistani' origin in South. Africa;
applauded all those who sustained their cause; reaffirmed the determination
of. Asian-African peoples to eradicate every trace of racialism that night
exist in their own countries; and pledged to use its full moral influence to,
guard against the danger of falling victims of the same evil in their' struggle
to eradicate it.
3.: In view of the existing tension in the .Middle East caused by
the situation in Palestine and of the danger of that tension to world peace,
the Asian-.African conference declared its support of the rights of the
Arab people of. Palestine and called for the implementation of the United,
Nations resolutions on Palestine and of the peaceful settlement of the
Palestine question.
D. Problems of Dependent People:
1. The Asian-African conference, in the context of its expressed
attitude on the abolition of colonialism, supported the position .of 'Indo . -
nesia in the case of West Irian (Dutch New Guinea) on the relevant agree-
ments between Indonesia and the Netherlands.
The Asian-1-African conference urged the Netherlands Government
to reopen negotiations as soon as possible to implement-their obligations
under the above-mentioned agreements and expressed the earnest hope
that the United Nations could. assist, the parties concerned in finding a,
peaceful solution to the dispute.

2. In view of the unsettled situation-In North Africa and of the--
persisting denial to the peoples of North Africa of their right to self-
determination, the Asian-African conference declared its +uppor't of
the rights of the people of Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia to `self-
determination and independence and urged the French Government to
bring about a peaceful settlement of the issue without delay.
F. Promotion of World Peace and Cooperaton:
1. The Asian-African conference, taking note of the :fact that
several states have still not been admitted to the United Nations, con-
sidered that for effective cooperation for world peace" membership in
the'United-Nations should be universal, called on the Security Council
to support the admission of all those states which are qualified for
membership in terms of the Charter.
In the opinion of the Asian-African conference the following
countries which were represented in it Cambodia, Ceylon, Japan,
Jordan, Laos, Libya, Nepal and unified Vietnam - were so qualified.
The conference considered that the representafon of the
countries of the Asian-African region of the Security Council in
relation to the principle of equitable geographic distribution was
inadequate.
It expressed the view that as regards the, distribution of the non-
permanent seats,. the Asian-African countries which, under the' arrange-
ment arrived at in London in 1946, are precluded from being elected,
should be enabled to .serve on the Security Council, so that they might
make a more effective contribution to the maintenance of international
peace and security.
Z. The Asian-African conference having considered the dangerous
situation of international tension existing and the risks confronting the
whole human race from the outbreak of global war in which the des- -
tructive power of "all types of armaments including nuclear and thermo-
nuclear weapons would be employed, invited the attention of all nations
to the terrible consequences that would follow if such a war were to
beak out.
.Disarmament Proposed
The conference considered that disarmament and the prohibition
of production, experimentation and use of nuclear and thermonuclear
weapons of war are imperative to save mankind and civilization from the
fear and prospect of wholesale destruction.
It considered that the nations of Asia and Africa assembled here
have a duty toward humanity and civilization to proclaim their support
for the prohibition of these weapons and to appeal to nations principally
concerned and to world opinion to bring about such disarmament and
prohibition.
The conference considered that effective international control
should be e stablished and maintained to implement such prohibition
and that speedy and determined efforts should be made to this end. --
Pending the total prohibiti:inof the manufacture of nuclear and thermo-
nuclear weapons, this conference appealed to all the powers concerned
to reach agreement to suspend experiments with such weapons.
The conference declared that universal disarmament is an absolute
necessity for the preservation of peace and requested the United Nations
to continue its efforts and appealed to all concerned speedily to bring
about the regulations limitation, control and-reduction of all armed forces
and armaments ilu4ing the prohibition of the production, experimentation
and use of all weapons of mass destruction and to establish effective
international control to this encl.

F. Declara,.tion, of ap'r6blems'of Dependent Peoples:
The Asian-African conference discussed the problems of dependent
peoples and colonialism and the evils arising from the subject to what. is
stated in the following paragraph;,,~ the. conference is-agreed:
In declaring that' colonialism in all its manifestations is an evil
which should speedily be brought, to an end;
2 affirming that the subjection of ,peoples to alien subjugation,
domination.anc: exp'loitatiori'c'oristitute a. denial of.fundamental human rights

the promotion of, world peace..and cooperation;
3. In declaring its support of the cause of freedom and 'ndependence
for all such peoples; and
4. In calla' g upon the powers concerned to grant freedom and inde-
pendence to such peoples..
G. Declaration of Promotion of World Peace and Cooperation: '
The Asian-African conference gave anxious_ thought to, the que stion
of world peace and cooperation. It 'viewed with deep concern the'present
state of international tension with its'danger of an atomic world war:
The problem of peace is correlative with the problem: pf international
security. In this connection all states should cooperate especially `through
the United Nations in bringing about the.reduction of armaments. and the
elimination of nuclear weapons under effective international control.
In this way international peace can be''promoted and nuclear energy,
may be used exclusively for peaceful purpose. This would help answer the
needs, particularly of Asia and Africa, for what they urgently require are
social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom.
Freedom and peace are interdependent. The right of. self-determination
must be enjoyed by all peoples and freedom and independence must be '"granted
with the least possible delay to those who are still dependent people.
Indeed all nations: should have'the right freely to. choose their own
political and economic systems and their own way of life in conformity
with the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations.
Free from "c'iatrnst.:and fear -and-; itb 'ctinfi,c-lerice andwgeodwiU " i
toward each other, nations should practice tolerance and live together
in peacewit'hone another 'as good neighbors and develop friendly cooperation
on the basis of the following principles:
1." Respect for the fundamental human rights and for the purposes
and principles. of the charter of the United Nations.
,2. Respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all nations.
3. Recognition of the equality of all races and of the equality of all
nations, large and small.
4. Abstention froth intervention or interference in the internal affairs
of another country.
5. -Respect for the right of each nation to defend itself singly or
collectively in conformitywith"the Charter of the United Nations.'

6B. Abstention by any country from exerting pressures on other
countries .
7. Refraining from acts or threats of aggression of the use of force
against the territorial integrity or political independence of any country.
G. Settlement of all international disputes by peaceful means such
as negotiation, conciliation, arbitration or judicial settlement, as well
as other peaceful means of the partiest own choice in conformity with the
Charter of the United Nations.
9. Promotion of mutual interest and cooperation.
10. Respect for justice and international obligations.
The Asian-African conference declares its conviction that friendly
cooperation in accordance with these principles would effectively contri-
bute to the maintenance and promotion of international peace and security
while cooperation in the economic, social and cultural fields would help
bring about the common prosperity and well-being of all.
The Asian-African conference recommended that the full sponsoring
countries should consider the next meeting of the conference in consulta-
tion with other countries concerned.
