THE CAMPAIGN „STOP AIR BASE RAMSTEIN“ AND ITS ACTION WEEK 2017
The US Air Force Base at Ramstein, Germany, is a central pivot for preparing and executing wars of aggression violating international law. Most of the lethal missions of US combat drones, e.g. in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Syria, and Africa, are conducted via Ramstein’s satellite relay station. US drone pilotes from a multitude of military bases use Ramstein for operating killer drones in illegal war missions around the world. In Ramstein itself, about 650 personnel continuously analyze, update and pass … Continue reading →
AN INTERVIEW WITH ALAIN ROUY ABOUT THE G20 IN HAMBURG
Considering the recent events such as Macron’s recent election and from a French perspective, what is your opinion of the G 20? In Hamburg, the newly-elected French president, so far presented as “young and modern”, only perpetuated the habitual, neoliberal politics of his predecessors, Sarkozy and Hollande. No new ideas or initiatives were mentioned by President Macron in reaction to the dramatic failures of past unfair commercial practices, notably in Africa or concerning his support for the Paris Accord on … Continue reading →

Ann Wright in an interview with Andrea Beck by weltnetz.tv
Ann Wright is a retired United States Army colonel, who left the Army because of her opposition to the Iraq War and engaged in the US peace movement particularly with Code Pink USA.

mailing ICAN 13.07.2017 Dear friends, Last week we banned nuclear weapons. It still feels a bit surreal to think that we pulled it off. But what does it all mean? Treaties and international law is sometimes a complex issue, and we’ve gotten a lot of questions about what the treaty does and how it will work. So we thought we collect the most common questions we get. What does the treaty prohibit? The treaty prohibits states from developing, testing, producing, manufacturing, … Continue reading →
