Statement of the network

Stop the declarations of war! It is time for diplomacy!

At a European summit in Paris last month, French President Macron declared that ground troops from NATO states could be deployed in Ukraine. His statement is symptomatic of the dangerous logic of war into which we have fallen. He is contributing to the self-fulfilling prophecy of militarism that threatens security and stability across the European continent. While no serious support for this irresponsible statement has been forthcoming, such proposals risk fuelling the escalation of violence. It has rightly been observed that sending NATO troops to Ukraine would be a fast track to world war three – likely a nuclear war. Continue reading →

Déclaration du réseau international

NON à la GUERRE – NON à l’OTAN

Lors d’un sommet européen à Paris le mois dernier, le président français Macron a déclaré que des troupes terrestres des États de l’OTAN pourraient être déployées en Ukraine. Sa déclaration est symptomatique de la dangereuse logique de guerre dans laquelle nous sommes tombés. Il contribue à ce que se réalise la prophétie du militarisme qui menace la sécurité et la stabilité sur l’ensemble du continent européen. Bien qu’aucun soutien sérieux n’ait été apporté à cette déclaration irresponsable, de telles propositions risquent d’alimenter l’escalade de la violence.  Il a été observé à juste titre que l’envoi de troupes de l’OTAN en Ukraine constituerait une étape sur la voie de la troisième guerre mondiale – potentiellement une guerre nucléaire.

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by
Ecuador, like many Latin American nations, is being militarized by the United States – the main NATO country – which continues to impose its hegemony and dominance on the world through military pressure and force.
Ecuador has unfortunately signed an agreement with the US and will send its Russian-made weapons to the war in Ukraine. Latin American countries are against war and support peace negotiations to resolve international conflicts.

América Latina: las implicancias de la militarización de EEUU en Ecuador

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by
Ecuador, como muchas naciones de América Latina, están siendo militarizadas por los Estados Unidos – el principal país de la OTAN – que sigue imponiendo en el mundo su hegemonía y dominio por medio de la presión y la fuerza militar.
Ecuador ha firmado, lamentablemente, un acuerdo con EEUU y enviará sus armas de fabricación rusa a la guerra de Ucrania. Los países de América Latina están contra la guerra y apoyan negociaciones de paz para resolver los conflictos internacionales.
¡¡No más Militarización de EEUU ni de la OTAN!!

A new start for the World Social Forum

On the surface, things look very good. Trees are covering more and more areas. In pictures from above, the Himalayan valleys are green, two-thirds forest. But 90 per cent are conifers. Below them there is hardly any vegetation, biodiversity is being lost, the soil is becoming more and more sterile, dry, unusable and unable to store water. The Himalayas are rapidly becoming what is known as a green desert. There is also less and less snow. This is accelerating the melting of the glaciers.
