The Stop the War Coalition (StWC), informally known simply as Stop the War, is a British group that campaigns against the United Kingdom's involvement in military conflicts.
It was established on 21 September 2001 to campaign against the impending war in Afghanistan. It then campaigned against the impending invasion of Iraq; the 15 February 2003 protest organised by the Coalition along with the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) and the Muslim Association of Britain (MAB), was the largest public demonstration in British history.[1]
Since then, the Coalition has campaigned against the 2011 military intervention in Libya and opposed UK involvement in the War against the Islamic State, arguing that airstrikes would only fuel extremism.[2] It opposed sending military aid to Ukraine during the Russian invasion, claiming it risks starting a war between NATO and Russia – a position which drew criticism from Andrew Fisher.[3][4] It has called for ceasefires in the Russo-Ukrainian War and in the Israel–Gaza war.[5]
