669 ংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ ত্রয়োদশ খন্ড 8. The Conference recognizes that there is moral support for -the freedom struggle of Bangladesh in many parts of the world. However, in order that this moral support may be translated into effective action, the Conference appeals to the Governments of the world to stop forthwith the supply of arms, ammunition, spare parts, and all military facilities to the Government of Pakistan. The Conference also, appeals to the governments of the world, international finance institutions and aid agencies to stop forthwith all kinds of economic aid to the Government of Pakistan. 9. The Conference further appeals to the Governments and peoples of the world to offer immediate and effective assistance to the Government of Bangladesh: for some, this may include military assistance; for others, it may mean economic and other kinds of assistance including non-violent action. 10. The Conference appeals to the United Nations and to all international organizations to channel aid meant for relieving suffering in Bangladesh-through the Government of Bangla Desh under international supervision in order to ensure that such aid reaches those for whom it is meant. 11. The Conference requests the International Committee of the Red Cross to take an immediate initiative, under Article III of the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949, which is fully binding in the present circumstances, to take direct responsibility for the organization and distribution of relief supplies in Bangladesh. The participation of the Government of Bangladesh is essential and consistent with the terms of this Convention. In no circumstances should this task be entrusted to the Pakistani Martial Law Authorities. 12. The Conference urges that all governments, inter-governmental agencies, and non-governmental organizations waive all restrictions as far as the life and health of the children of Bangladesh is concerned, and, where difficult choices must be made between national liberation and human survival, to protect in every way the lives of children as the most precious legacy for the future of Bangladesh and the world. In this regard, the Conference suggests the possible creation of internationally-controlled emergency sanctuaries for children inside Bangladesh. 13. The Conference recommends the establishment of an International Committee of Friends of Bangladesh to disseminate information based on authoritative sources to peoples, governments, and non-governmental agencies and to take other effective measures with a view to fostering public support to the liberation movement in Bangladesh.
