Friends of the Earth International condemns US-led Imperialism and calls for peace

Friends of the Earth International issued a statement condemning US-led imperialism and military aggression, arguing that these actions drive environmental destruction, prolong the fossil fuel era, and violate international law. The organization calls for an end to wars in Iran and Palestine, the dismantling of corporate power, and the redirection of war funding toward global repair and social justice.

• Friends of the Earth International condemns US-led imperialism and military aggression against several nations and peoples, specifically citing actions against Iran, Venezuela, Lebanon, the blockade of Cuba, and the genocide against Palestine.
• The organization asserts that US-led imperialist aggression is driven by a desire to maintain global control over resources and the world economy, utilizing tools such as economic warfare, sanctions, tariffs, and the influence of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund.
• The document claims that the US-Israeli war on Iran has caused the most severe energy crisis in modern history, while sanctions on Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba have restricted energy access for schools, hospitals, and millions of homes.
• Imperialist aggression is described as an existential threat that damages the environment through the pollution of air, water, soil, and ecosystems, and risks prolonging the use of fossil fuels and the climate crisis to maintain corporate profits.
• Friends of the Earth International demands the cessation of arms transfers and logistical support to the US and Israel, urging states to avoid complicity in violations of international humanitarian law and to redirect war funding toward global transformation.
