Les Amis de la Terre International condamnent l’impérialisme mené par les États-Unis et appellent à la paix
Summary
Friends of the Earth International issues a statement condemning U.S.-led imperialism, specifically citing military actions in Palestine, Iran, Venezuela, and Lebanon, and the blockade of Cuba. The organization argues that imperialist strategies to control global resources and the economy result in severe human rights violations, environmental degradation, and the prolongation of fossil fuel reliance, thereby exacerbating the permanent climate crisis.
Key insights
- The organization asserts that U.S. and Israeli military actions violate national sovereignty and international law, specifically the UN Charter's prohibition on the use of force against the political independence of states.
- Imperialist aggression is linked to the global energy crisis and humanitarian disasters, with sanctions and blockades against Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba depriving essential services like hospitals and schools of energy.
- The document argues that imperialism poses an existential threat by prolonging the use of fossil fuels to maintain corporate profits and seeking control over minerals essential for artificial intelligence and the military, which undermines the ecological transition.
- Friends of the Earth International calls for the redirection of financial resources from the war industry toward global repair and transformation, and urges states to stop transferring arms and providing logistical support to the U.S. and Israel.
- The statement links the control of oil and critical minerals by the U.S.-led imperial alliance to the destruction of ecosystems and the intimidation of Global South countries through bilateral agreements and tariffs.
