The UN should play its role, as an organization in which the participating countries have been committed since its establishment in 1954, to maintain peace through international cooperation and collective security. And while the UN for the first time due to the Korean crisis voted in the plenary( even from countries in war) the Olympic Truce, a few days later, Turkey violated the Truce, which it had just signed. Without a reaction from the UN, Turkey launched aggressive acts in the Aegean and followed the new multinational raids in Syria. The winners of this Euro-Mediterranean and Eastern crisis are the arms sales companies and the xenophobic streams that feed on poverty, death, nationalism and the extreme far right.
Is needed a movement, linked with the World Social Forum, which will take advantage of existing international peace movements, the International Peace Bureau, the Peace of Peace, the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons( ICAN), the Nobel Prize in 2017, the Bertrand Russell Peace Foundation, and all other initiatives at International, European and National level.
We believe that there is a need for a new peaceful, anti-war, anti-imperialist and antinationalist democratic movement to be developed of citizens and people of the European and Mediterranean region, which: 1) Will stop the raids and the war in Syria 2) Will denounce the options of racism of the divided nationalism and wars in trade, transnational and international relations 3) Will promote the values of friendship, fair and equal trade and cultural coexistence and cooperation of the people in the interest of present and future generations on the basis of human rights, democracy, the international law and towards achieving the goals of sustainable UN development.
