Dear Sir,
We Want Peace, No War on Iraq
Green student council is a registered environmental group formed by enthusiastic environmentalists and tertiary students. We concern about the environmental policies as well as unfair issues.
We believe that renewed war on Iraq will not deliver lasting disarmament. War is most likely to deliver more of what it always does – lost lives, environmental destruction, physical and psychological damage for both victims and aggressors, wasted resources, threats of widened political instability and increased terrorism, more hatred, and re-energized extremism.
The vast majority of Iraq’s civilian population relies on water and sanitation system that is driven by the mains electrical power system, and more than 50% of the populations depend on the distribution of food rations. As a result, millions of Iraqis are highly vulnerable to any military action which impacts upon the electricity supplies and the road infrastructure that underpins the distribution of food rations. Any military action that damages such 'dual use’ infrastructure risks causing mass humanitarian suffering, including child mortality.
Iraq has become a place of extraordinary suffering, and war would only add to it. Even without war, these hardships will remain the primary reality for the people of Iraq for the foreseeable future. The tragedy of Iraq has been decades in the making, and the road to genuine transformation will be slow and troubled. The only reasonable certainty they face is that the costs of war would be even worse than the current situation and would delay, not hasten, the advent of sustainable change. We believe it is our collective responsibility to accompany the people of Iraq, not with more bombs and missiles, but with moral, political and material support.
We believe it is time to act for peace, not war.
1. Reject further war on Iraq – the consequences of which are borne primarily by the people;
2. Persist in a vigorous strategy of containment to prevent Iraq’s acquisition and/or retention of weapons of mass destruction through internationally mandated inspections and ongoing monitoring;
3. Pursue diplomacy toward establishing the entire Middle East as a region free of all weapons of mass destruction;
4. End the comprehensive economic sanctions against Iraq;
5. Embark on diplomatic and political engagement, including material support for Iraqi civil society, to advance respect for human rights and accountable governance;
6. Reinvigorate diplomatic efforts with states of the region to address outstanding issues, notably the Israel/Palestine conflict, in the context of region-wide talks on security and cooperation in the Middle East; and
7. Explore legal/judicial and other measures to address accusations of crimes against humanity.
Yours sincerely,
