COMMUNIQUE

2014 WACL, 33rd APACL, 3rd WYFL and 7th APYFL Conferences

Taipei, Talwan, Republic of China, August 21, 1987

The 20th Conference of the World Anti-Communist League (WACL), the 33rd Conference of the Asian Pacific Anti-Communist League (APACL), the 3rd Conference of the World Youth Freedom League (WYFL) and the 7th Conference of the Asian Pacific Youth Freedom League (APYFL) convened in Taipei, Republic of China, from August 15-23, 1987, to deliberate on effective ways to achieve common security through freedom.

President Chiang Ching-kuo, President Ronald Reagan, and President Alfredo Stroessner sent messages of congratulations and support, for which we are gratefUL.

The participants reviewed the world situation with respect to:

1. The Free World's success of political democracy and free market economies, contrasted with the growing failures of the communist world.

2. The Free World objective of defending freedom and national independence has helped to check the communist goal of unlimited expansionism.

-3. The attempt to use Peking as a counterweight to Moscow has not prevented rapprochement between the two communist powers and could lead to serious consequences.

The conference reaffirmed the Free World goal of peace with justice, national independence, economic freedom and prosperity, and social progress.

With these concerns in mind, the Conference resolved to urge all freedom-loving peoples to:

Draw a line between democracies and communist systems. An example of this is Communist China's support of Iran and the sending of Silkworm missiles into the Persian Gulf. Free nations should strive for unity as part of a global anti-communist strategy.

Strive for the expansion of freedom through national, regional and global channels. Common security systems should be adopted to achieve this goal.

Expand political, economic, cultural, sci-tech, information and other exchanges within the Free World (recognizing the constraints of security).

Deter communist attacks through the retention of credible nuclear retaliatory forces, increased conventional forces, and defense of Free World assets throught the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI). Even if nuclear weapons could be abolished with guarantees of verification, it would only make the Free World more vulnerable to massive Soviet Bloc conventional forces.

Stop arms sales and technology transfers to the communist world.

Work to resolve racial and religious conflicts so that internecine acts do not threaten freedom and encourage the communist world to divide and conquer the Free World through infiltration and subversion.

Support all activities to prevent the betrayal of Hong Kong nd Macao residents under Communist China's fraudulent "one country, two systems" ploy. Every positive and effective step should be taken to prevent the further enslavement of free peoples.

Stand behind the peoples of the Republic of China, the Republic of Korea, and other divided nations to insure national reunification consonant with freedom and national independence.
