A call for the United Nations to act forcefully

this page is at http://site.www.umb.edu/faculty/salzman_g/Strate/Salz/2003-04-03.htm

Included here are: first, The Call; second, the supplementary page with United Nations e-mail addresses with active links; and third, a signature page to use if you want to solicit signers face-to-face.

I. That the United Nations (UN) declare the United States to be in violation of the fundamental principles of the UN by the attack on Iraq.

II. That the UN expel the United States (U.S.) from the organization.

III. That the UN demand an immediate halt to the attack against Iraq.

Furthermore, that the UN initiate an international campaign to force the American government to stop, a campaign of diplomatic, juridical, military and economic actions, such as, for example, the following:

Diplomatic, juridical and military actions

1. The United Nations relocate its headquarters out of the northern hemisphere to a suitable venue, perhaps to one of the most impoverished nations in the world, certainly not to a so-called first world country.

2. Nations close U.S. embassies and consular offices in their territories.

3. Nations declare U.S. officials persona non grata and expel them.

4. Governments and international jurisdictions undertake massive indictments and prosecutions of C.I.A., F.B.I., State Department, U.S. military, etc. employees (present or former) who are or were engaged in promoting terrorist activities by the U.S. government or by other governments or paramilitary forces.

5. Nations deny use of their territory, territorial waters, and air space to U.S. military forces, and insist that the U.S. immediately relinquish and evacuate U.S. bases on their territory.

Economic actions

6. Oil-exporting nations place a total ban on oil (and natural gas) shipments to the U.S. and its colonies.

7. Nations close all branch offices of U.S. banks in their territories, and freeze all assets of U.S.-based financial, industrial, and commercial corporations in their territories.

8. Nations ban commercial activities with U.S.-based financial, industrial, and commercial corporations.

Next is the supplementary page with United Nations e-mail addresses with active links.

The Security Council has consistently called for diplomacy, not a military assault. The U.S. and British governments attacked on Thursday, March 20th, ignoring the almost universal will of the world's peoples that it not happen. The carnage has been frightful.

1. Sign A call for the United Nations to act forcefully, directly or by e-mail to george.salzman@umb.edu
