Manifesto: No to Global NATO – Yes to Common Security

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

NATO is an increasing obstacle to achieving world peace. It is no longer an organization confined to the North Atlantic: it is the world’s largest military alliance, with allies and partners in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Since the end of the Cold War, NATO has reinvented itself as a tool for military action, psychological warfare, worldwide military and political interventions, and accessing resources and markets; it often claims to undertake these actions on behalf of the “international community”. With … Continue reading →

No war on Iran! Statement from ICC – No to War No to NATO

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

The US military attack on three nuclear sites in Iran constitutes an irresponsible violation of international law with potentially dangerous escalating consequences. US President Trump is also breaking his election promise to stop ‘endless wars’. The White House has chosen military force over negotiations to resolve the ostensible reason for the attacks – namely concerns over Iran’s nuclear power programme. These were broken off on 13 June by an Israeli surprise attack on Iranian military and nuclear installations and top … Continue reading →

From Helsingborg to Ankara: Global Voices on NATO, Militarization, and Welfare

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

Overview This online gathering takes place alongside the NATO Foreign Ministerial Meeting in Helsingborg, Sweden (May 21–22), which is expected to emphasize increased defence spending. Such commitments risk undermining efforts toward peace, social justice, and effective responses to the climate and environmental crisis. There is an urgent need to critically examine NATO’s expanding role, as it increasingly extends its influence beyond the military into areas such as natural resources, technology, finance, and media. This raises concerns about global power imbalances, … Continue reading →

The underlying issue: Nuclear weapons and their proliferation & Letter for nuclear non-proliferation in Germany

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

The underlying issue: Nuclear weapons and their proliferation By Pablo Ruiz* The fundamental question is not up for debate: Should countries possess nuclear weapons? There are nine nuclear powers. In the current landscape, France will expand its nuclear arsenal; the Finnish government is set to introduce a bill to allow the country to acquire them; and Germany already has the capability to produce them whenever it chooses. While the world follows the Israeli-American war against Iran through the media, and … Continue reading →

The world is closer to Armageddon

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

By Pablo Ruiz* In January 2026, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists stated that we are 85 seconds away from midnight—or the “Doomsday Clock”—due to the threats of nuclear war and climate change. As the war—which resumed in late February against the Islamic Republic of Iran—intensifies, with new attacks carried out by the United States and Israel against Tehran, we must once again raise the possibility of the use of nuclear weapons in this conflict, in a context where international … Continue reading →

Ukraine needs peace! Stop the bloodshed!

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

The war in Ukraine is entering its fifth year. Since Russia invaded the country in violation of international law, death and destruction have reigned. NATO’s confrontational policies and its long-standing refusal to seek a lasting and peaceful solution through diplomatic channels have contributed to the loss of so many lives. The people of Russia and Ukraine are fed up with war. Mothers no longer want to feed the war machine with their children. It is good that negotiations are taking … Continue reading →

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

La NATO rappresenta un ostacolo crescente al raggiungimento della pace mondiale. Non è più un’organizzazione confinata all’area nordatlantica: è la più grande alleanza militare del mondo, con alleati e partner in Asia, Africa e America Latina.

Manifest Gegen die Globale NATO und Aufruf für „gemeinsame Sicherheit“

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

Die NATO ist ein zunehmendes Hindernis für die Verwirklichung des Weltfriedens. Sie ist nicht mehr die Nordatlantikvertrags-Organisation. Sie ist das größte Militärbündnis der Welt mit Verbündeten und Partnern in Asien, Afrika und Lateinamerika. Seit dem Ende des Kalten Krieges hat sich die NATO als Instrument für militärische Aktionen, psychologische Kriegsführung und Zugang zu Ressourcen und Märkten durch die „internationale Gemeinschaft” sowie für weltweite militärische und politische Interventionen neu erfunden. Mit ihren Partnerschaften und gemeinsamen Operationen ist sie ein Instrument für … Continue reading →

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

Το ΝΑΤΟ είναι ένα αυξανόμενο εμπόδιο για την επίτευξη της παγκόσμιας ειρήνης. Δεν είναι πλέον ο Βόρειος Οργανισμός  Ατλαντικού Συμφώνου. Είναι η μεγαλύτερη στρατιωτική συμμαχία στον κόσμο, με συμμάχους και εταίρους στην Ασία, την Αφρική και τη Λατινική Αμερική. Από το τέλος του Ψυχρού Πολέμου, το ΝΑΤΟ έχει επανεφευρεθεί ως εργαλείο στρατιωτικής δράσης, ψυχολογικού πολέμου και πρόσβασης σε πόρους και αγορές, από τη «διεθνή κοινότητα» και τις παγκόσμιες στρατιωτικές και πολιτικές παρεμβάσεις. Με τις συνεργασίες και τις κοινές επιχειρήσεις, αποτελεί … Continue reading →

La OTAN es un obstáculo cada vez mayor para alcanzar la paz mundial. Ya no es la Organización del Tratado del Atlántico Norte. Es la alianza militar más grande del mundo, con aliados y socios en Asia, África y América Latina.

Manifeste : Non à l’OTAN mondiale – Oui à la sécurité commune

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

L’OTAN est un obstacle croissant pour parvenir à la paix mondiale. Elle n’est plus une organisation cantonnée à l’Atlantique Nord : c’est la plus grande alliance militaire du monde, avec des alliés et des partenaires en Asie, en Afrique et en Amérique latine. Depuis la fin de la guerre froide, l’OTAN s’est réinventée comme un outil d’action militaire, de guerre psychologique, d’interventions militaires et politiques à l’échelle mondiale, et d’accès aux ressources et aux marchés ; elle prétend souvent mener … Continue reading →
