At the Okinawa International Forum we plan to consider the following:

2. clarify the meaning for asia and for the world of the struggle of the Okinawan people against U.S. military bases;
3. explore the conditions for the establishment of international peace in the Asia-Pacific region;
4. share the understanding made clear by the women's movement of the gender discrimination that lie at the foundation of military and base organization;
5. search for a people's solution for the regional, religious, and ethnic conflicts that provide and excuse for the violent intervention of the state;
6. examine critically the historical understanding of the relations between the Asian people and modern Japan;
