Erklärung der Global Women for Peace United Against NATO (GWUAN)
Die Nordatlantikpakt-Organisation ist ein 1949 gegründetes Militärbündnis von 31 Ländern des globalen Nordens. Die NATO wird von den Vereinigten Staaten dominiert, seit ihrer Gründung ist der Oberste Befehlshaber immer ein amerikanischer General.

NATO allies must be interoperable with the US military machine, which is the largest consumer of fossil fuel on the planet.
