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

Friends of the Earth International denounces US-led imperialism and the actions of the US and Israel, asserting that military aggression and economic warfare—including sanctions and blockades—cause severe humanitarian crises and environmental degradation. The organization argues that imperialist control over resources, including oil and critical minerals, prolongs the fossil fuel era and threatens the climate. It calls for an end to these aggressions, the redirection of war funding toward global repair, and the dismantling of corporate power and far-right influence to achieve environmental and social justice.

• The organization asserts that US-led imperialism and military aggression against nations such as Iran, Venezuela, Lebanon, Cuba, and Palestine result in significant human and environmental costs worldwide.
• Imperialist aggression is described as a tool to maintain global control over resources and the economy, utilizing economic warfare through 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 homes.
• Imperialist activities are identified as an existential threat that prolongs the use of fossil fuels, secures control over critical minerals for military and AI purposes, and diverts trillions in public finance away from basic needs like health and housing.
• Friends of the Earth International demands the redirection of all financial resources from the war industry toward global transformation and repair, and calls for states to stop providing arms, intelligence, and financial support that facilitate breaches of international law.
