Description

This document is a request to join the World Congress of Peace Supporters, held at a key moment in the Cold War. It represents the commitment of Catalan sectors to international movements for peace and the defense of human rights. The Congress, driven by intellectuals and activists from all over the world, sought to avoid a new world war and promote coexistence between peoples. This accession shows how Catalonia, despite internal repression, maintained an active voice in global debates. The document is a valuable source for understanding the connection between Catalan civil society and the great movements of the 20th century, and is fully part of the theme of international relations and the culture of peace. It is also a reflection of the will to build a fairer and more united Europe.
