The organizers invite individuals, organizations and peace advocates worldwide to endorse and attend an international peace conference to “stop the Third World War” in Rome on Oct. 27-28, 2023. Already, over 86 organizations from more than 33 countries have signed on to the list of demands, urging immediate action to defuse the tensions and promote dialogue. These organizations recognize the active role the international working class must play in dismantling NATO, the attack dog of U.S./European [neo]imperialism, as a precondition to achieving lasting peace.

By endorsing the list of demands, you can add your voice to the growing coalition that advocates for:

  • The immediate halting of arms shipments to Ukraine.
  • An end to the sanctions on Russia, as well as the cessation of the Russophobic campaign.
  • The invalidation of the statement condemning Russia as a terrorist state.
  • An armistice between the belligerent forces, allowing for peaceful negotiations.
  • The establishment of a truly neutral and democratic Ukraine.
  • The cessation of the arms race and the dissolution of NATO.

Your endorsement can make a difference. We urge you to join us in Rome and be part of this historic event. Only the popular struggle of the international working class can defeat the forces of U.S./Western militarism and [neo]imperialism.

    Sounds like a very one-sided approach, aimed at appeasing Russia.

    How could there be any war if no one would invade?

    A peace treaty has to include something like “each country respects the territorial sovereignity of the other”. But how could Ukraine trust Russia to honor that treaty, when Russia already broke the last one? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Memorandum

    In February 2016, Sergey Lavrov claimed, “Russia never violated Budapest memorandum. It contained only one obligation, not to attack Ukraine with nukes.”[38] However, Canadian journalist Michael Colborne pointed out that “there are actually six obligations in the Budapest Memorandum, and the first of them is ‘to respect the independence and sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine’”. Colborne also pointed out that a broadcast of Lavrov’s claim on the Twitter account of Russia’s embassy in the United Kingdom actually “provided a link to the text of the Budapest Memorandum itself with all six obligations, including the ones Russia has clearly violated – right there for everyone to see.”

    How to trust a liar, how to make peace with an invader?

    When someone breaks into your house, do you cede your garage to them or do you throw them out? When you break into a house and are rewarded with a garage, what’s stopping you from repeating the same procedure with the next house?

    I know this is a heated topic. While we can have strong opinions about the subject, let’s try to be civil with each other.
