Dear Piero Basso,

It is with emotion that I receive your invitation and, of course, I would have liked to be with all the friends who will be in Paris on 6 December to talk about Leo Matarasso and his action within the League for the Rights and Liberation of Peoples.

Unfortunately, at the same time, I am invited to give lectures on Western Sahara at two universities in South Africa.

The topicality of the Algiers Declaration is obvious to me and I deal with it every year in my course at the University of Brussels. It is also in this spirit that I relaunched the project of a Tribunal on Palestine and that I still regret that the Peoples’ Tribunal could not join it.

I am sending you our appeal on this subject.

Yours sincerely,

Pierre Galand.

Galand, Pierre
