RAGA
DECLARATION: HUMANITARIAN INTERVENTION OR IMPRIALIST WAR
Istanbul 8
July 2012
It is a
shameful hypocrisy to call bombing people a “humanitarian” act.
In
particular we are alarmed at NATO’s strategy of escalation of
tensions with Syria.
The
purpose of these interventions is mainly the appropriation of
resources (oil, water, etc) and of new markets.
Chemical,
biological and nuclear weapons are a threat to humankind. They must
be destroyed under international supervision.
Governments
must respect peoples’ identities, demands and self government to
achieve internal peace. Ethnic or national difference should not be a
reason for repression by the state.
Dictatorships
and totalitarian regimes do not allow democracy and stability.
However, we do not accept a choice between supporting dictators or
military intervention.
Peace
requires solidarity not weapons.
