Statement of the No to NATO network on
NATO 2030: United for a New Era.
The No to war – No to NATO Network condemns the proposals for a new NATO agenda, outlined in NATO 2030: United for a New Era. The report presents a dangerous expansion plan that will increase tension and the risk of war.
Introduction
In 2020 NATO-Secretary-General Stoltenberg commissioned a group of 10 ‘experts’ to reflect on the future of NATO. In their report NATO 2030: United for a new Era they come up with 138 proposals that are supposed to help the military alliance meet key challenges in the next decade. The report was adopted by the NATO summit in Madrid 2022 and inspires all further NATO activities. Continue reading →
Le mariage UE-OTAN reflète une mentalité de guerre froide
Le mariage UE-OTAN reflète une mentalité de guerre froide
Le 10 janvier 2023, les dirigeants de l’OTAN et de l’Union européenne ont signé une nouvelle « déclaration conjointe sur la coopération UE-OTAN » *.
Elle fait suite aux déclarations précédentes de 2016 (à Varsovie) et 2018 (à Bruxelles) visant à renforcer le partenariat stratégique UE-OTAN.
En réalité, ces déclarations renforcent la militarisation de l’UE, confirment le rôle prépondérant des États-Unis à travers leur position de leader au sein de l’OTAN, font obstacle aux architectures de sécurité alternatives sur le continent européen et sapent les politiques de sécurité autonomes et/ou neutres de certains pays de l’UE qui ne sont pas membres de l’OTAN.

Presentation shown at the annual meeting of the No to NATO network in Madrid, June 27, 2022
Erklärung zum NATO-Gipfel in Madrid am 29. und 30. Juni 2022
Das internationale Netzwerk “No-to-War No-to-Nato” ist empört über die Entscheidung der NATO-Regierungschefs, Konfrontation, Militarisierung und Globalisierung weiter zu verstärken, statt auf Dialog, Abrüstung und friedliche Koexistenz zu setzen. In Madrid hat die NATO ein neues strategisches Konzept verabschiedet. Die NATO behauptet, ein auf gemeinsamen demokratischen Werten basierendes Bündnis zu sein, das sich für einen gerechten und umfassenden Frieden einsetzt und ein Bollwerk für eine auf Regeln basierende internationale Ordnung ist. In Wirklichkeit werden in NATO-Ländern wie Polen, Ungarn und der … Continue reading →
Declaración sobre la cumbre de la OTAN en Madrid del 29 al 30 de junio de 2022
La Red Internacional ‘No-to-War No-to-Nato’ está indignada por la decisión de los jefes de gobierno de la OTAN de incrementar aún más el enfrentamiento, la militarización y la globalización en lugar de optar por el diálogo, el desarme y la convivencia pacífica. En Madrid, la OTAN aprobó un nuevo concepto estratégico. La OTAN afirma ser una alianza basada en valores democráticos compartidos, que trabaja por una paz justa e inclusiva y es un baluarte para un orden internacional basado en … Continue reading →

Statement on NATO summit in Madrid 29 – 30 June 2022
The international network ‘No-to-War No-to-Nato’ is outraged by the decision of NATO’s heads of government to further increase confrontation, militarization and globalization instead of opting for dialogue, disarmament and peaceful co-existence.
In Madrid, NATO approved a new strategic concept. NATO claims to be an alliance based on shared democratic values, working towards just and inclusive peace and is a bulwark for a rules-based international order. In reality, in NATO-countries like Poland, Hungary and Turkey, Continue reading →

No to war in Ukraine – No to NATO expansion
Europe needs cooperation and disarmament
Statement of the ICC of the international No to war – no to NATO network
No to war in UkraineNo to NATO expansion |
Europe needs cooperation and disarmament
Tensions between NATO and Russia – two nuclear-armed powers – are reaching alarming proportions. We call for an end to this confrontation: if it doesn’t end, everyone will lose. Ukraine is already paying a heavy economic and human price as a result of these hostilities, unnecessarily stirred up internationally and nationally. Following this politics of confrontation to its logical conclusion means that many people will die. Continue reading →

‘No to War – No to Nato’ support the call for a ‘Global Day of Action’ against a war with Iran on Saturday, January 25th, 2020
The Middle East is on the verge of a new disastrous conflict. 17 years after the invasion of Iraq, the US seems to be heading for a war with Iran. The extrajudicial execution of Qasem Soleimani with drone rockets, whatever his crimes have been, is a provocative act of war and a violation of international law. US President Trump is undermining the international legal framework on a regular basis. We can not tolerate that laws of the jungle and the logic of war will rule the world.
War will further destabilize the Middle East and threaten stability in the world. Ordinary citizens will be the victims. War is only benefiting the war industry and militarism.
We say stop! We don’t want a war with Iran. Not in our name!
The international network ‘No to War – No to Nato’ encourages peace organizations and other social movements to take the streets in a worldwide movement with a strong anti-war message. It supports the call issued by our friends of the US peace movement for a “Global Day of Action” against a war with Iran on Saturday, January 25th.
