The US Government began negotiations to
end the war with the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, the Provisional
Revolutionary Government and the Government of South Vietnam in Paris in 1968. By the summer of 1970, the
negotiations in Paris had gotten only as far as deciding the parties to the
negotiation and the size and shape of the negotiating table.
In August 1970,
the US National Student Association Congress meeting at Macalester College
in St. Paul, Minnesota, authorized a delegation of US students to travel to
meet with students in the Republic of Vietnam (South) and in the
Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North). Their goal was to create a peace treaty by students to show the
government the way to end the war. A diverse delegation of 15 student leaders from
college and university campuses from Puerto Rico to Hawaii was organized to travel to Saigon and Hanoi in December of 1970 to negotiate the
People’s Peace Treaty. Only one, Doug Hostetter, evaded the South Vietnamese government's denial of visas to hold private discussions with the Saigon Student Union. The full group met in Hanoi with students from the north and liberated areas of the south.
In the spring
semester of 1971, the People’s Peace Treaty they created was ratified by student governments
or campus wide referenda in hundreds of US college and university campuses, and
signed by many other prominent Americans. By the end of April, eight US Representatives
introduced a Concurrent Resolution, “Resolved by the House
of Representatives (the Senate concurring), that it is the sense of the
Congress that the People’s Peace Treaty embodies the legitimate aspirations of
the American and Vietnamese peoples for an enduring and just peace in
Indochina.”
The Treaty became an organizing vehicle for and theme of the massive May Day civil disobedience in Washington. It took another 24 months before the four parties signed the Paris Accords that ended US official involvement in
the Vietnam War on essentially the same terms that the students had negotiated two years earlier.
The text of the Treaty and a partial list of signers and schools can be seen here.

issues of civil rights, nuclear power and U.S. interventions in Central
America. His 1980 documentary film, “Dawn

After her December, 1970 visit to Vietnam as a member of the Peoples’ Peace Treaty delegation, Becca Wilson wrote a lengthy article about her experiences that was published as a special supplement to the University of California, Santa Barbara daily student newspaper.
In the 1969-70 academic year preceding her trip to Vietnam, Becca had been the openly partisan editor of that newspaper. Under her leadership, the paper had championed the New Left movements of the day – the antiwar, student power, black and Chicano power movements, as well as the burgeoning ecology and women’s liberation movements. Campus conservatives frequently denounced the paper, and in February,1970, when the Bank of America was burned down in the nearby student community of Isla Vista, UCSB’s administration heaped considerable blame for that insurrectionary act onto Becca.
The Peoples’ Peace Treaty trip led Becca to vow to herself that activism for peace and justice would be a lifelong calling of the heart, not merely a phase of her youth. After her return, she became one of the leaders of Santa Barbara’s antiwar movement, helping to organize a statewide Peoples’ Peace Treaty conference at UCSB, as well as a weeklong demonstrations in conjunction with the MayDay 1971 protests in Washington DC. While serving time in jail for her part in one of the local MayDay protests, Becca and a visiting friend hatched a plan to establish an alternative weekly newspaper to challenge the hegemony of the stodgy, conservative Santa Barbara News Press. She and a small group of friends formed a collective, and with just $5000 in capital, launched the first issue of the Santa Barbara News & Review in late 1971.
Beginning in 1972, Becca became active in the Indochina Peace Campaign and helped organize and coordinate two more statewide conferences of antiwar groups. She remained active in the IPC through the fall of Saigon in 1975. At the News & Review, she wrote about the war, especially the air war and the Vietnamization program, and after the peace agreements were signed in 1973, about the political situation in South Vietnam.
In 1976, Becca moved to Los Angeles and worked for several years in documentary film production. In 1984, the staff owned and operated News & Review was facing imminent bankruptcy. To save the paper, shareholders sold it for one dollar to a group of investors, who arranged a merger with a competing, more yuppie-ish newspaper. The publication survives today in a new incarnation called the Santa Barbara Independent.
For the last 25 years, Becca has been an editor and writer working primarily for unions, and progressive nonprofits.
John McAuliff is the executive director of the Fund for
Reconciliation and Development and coordinator of the Vietnam Peace
Commemoration Committee. As a student at Carleton College, he organized
support for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and participation in
the Mississippi Summer Project of 1964. After serving in the Peace Corps
in Peru, he became the first President of the Committee of Returned Volunteers,
leading its participation in the Vietnam anti-war movement, including the
demonstration at the Chicago Democratic Convention. He represented CRV in
national anti-war coalitions and the U.S coalition at international conferences
in Sweden. For ten years he directed the Indochina Program in the Peace
Education Division of the American Friends Service Committee, traveling on its
behalf to Hanoi with a delegation that arrived on April 30, 1975, the last day
of the war. In 1985 he founded the Fund for Reconciliation and
Development to continue his AFSC work for normalization of relations with
Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. After that was accomplished in 2005, he
refocused most of his work on a similar goal with Cuba. He was
"detained" at the March on the Pentagon and the Mayday civil
disobedience action and while demonstrating against George Wallace during his
Presidential campaign in New York.

Richard Falk is professor emeritus of international law at Princeton University. He has published a number of books and essays analyzing the American human rights debate, the legality of the Vietnam War and other military operations. With regard to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, he wrote that it is "inescapable that an objective observer would reach the conclusion that this Iraq War is a war of aggression, and as such, that it amounts to a crime against peace of the sort for which surviving German leaders were indicted and prosecuted at the Nuremberg trials conducted shortly after the Second World War.
Falk was active against the war in Vietnam and participated in the release and transport of American POWS back to the United States. In 2008, the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) appointed Falk to a six-year term as a United Nations Special Rapporteur on "the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967.”
