Press Release:
A year , we wish to draw attention to the presence of companies producing military hardware that should not fit between the job opportunities presented to us by the University of Zaragoza. The economic benefit may represent contradicts the statutes of the University of Zaragoza declaring that their efforts should promote "a framework of thought in which human rights, solidarity between generations, sustainable development and peace are the subject of research, training and dissemination in all fields, in addition to ensuring "that their inventions and research contracts are used to promote peace and disarmament" . We want to restate that this statement is no longer theoretical institutional rhetoric to become indispensable performance criteria for the University.
We express our protest firmly and decisively, we can not allow ourselves to become complicit in the presence of the arms industry at our university, and less with the aim of directing future graduates to become part of nasty business of war. All weapons only serve to cause death and suffering, therefore, we reject that college students to sell us a job among the merchants of arms.

It is also important to note that EADS develops key components for the manufacture of cluster bombs, which meet the definition of prohibited weapons by the United Nations Convention in 1980. These pumps are used to bomb targets scattered, usually causing extensive damage to the civilian population (98% of its victims are civilians) even long after the bombing ended, as parts can be buried for years without exploding. Meanwhile
EDS, among other activities, are dedicated to providing the armies of computer and telecommunications infrastructure, logistics support, modernization and support for various computer and electronic services. As U.S. and British armies their main customers. COLLECTIVE
