"Wars are not an illustration of civilization
For many years, I have asserted that the most fundamental of human rights is the right to life.
We must choose peace over war. We must choose peace and construction over destruction and war.
And to save lives, two goals should be prioritized: a) public health – ensuring everyone has access to healthcare, and b) peace – resolving conflicts peacefully, including domestic and international conflicts.
Our generation from the 60s and 70s proudly helped end colonial wars of that time. For instance, achieving peace in Vietnam was also a contribution of our peace movement.
Conversely, while contemporary movements such as the German or Swedish Greens and several left-leaning organizations advocate for global efforts to save and preserve Nature’s life, simultaneously support the continuation of the conflict in Ukraine –an endeavour implying the killing of Nature’s most precious fruits: human lives.
But not only that. “Liberal democratic” elites at the top of the EU and the government of our countries – which have been shown to be neither liberal nor pro-democracy – are now risking a Third World War.
“Human Rights for All” is also a defence of the memory of History of Humanity
France’s proposal for a “Grand European Army” to defeat Russia lacks evidence of any imminent threat from Russia. Historically, invasions of Russia have been disastrous:"
