The Belgian Anti-war Platform mobilised demonstrators in Brussels as part of the worldwide day of action against a US-led invasion of Iraq. Vrede vzw records roughly 75,000 participants in Belgium. The movement challenged the claim that war was necessary and legitimate, and linked opposition to militarism with the demand for a political solution. The action drew on transnational coordination among peace groups, trade unions, NGOs and citizens.
