Bis in die Schlußerklärung des G7 Gipfels hat es der Appell „Call to Action“ geschafft, jetzt gilt es der Politik!
„We affirm our commitment to working together – and with other international partners – to closely coordinate and institutionalize our support for civil society peacebuilding efforts, ensuring that they are part of a larger strategy to build the foundation necessary for a negotiated and lasting Israeli-Palestinian peace.“
ALLMEP has spent the last month leading a global coalition united in calling for this new approach from the G7. 37 UK Parliamentarians, 22 Members of the European Parliament, and His Holiness Pope Francis – who attended the summit today– all added their support to the campaign, standing in solidarity with the ALLMEP community and recognizing the critical role that grassroots organizations have to play in any long term, sustainable peace process. The letter was signed by more than 160 Israeli and Palestinian peacebuilding NGOs, and over 200 civil society organizations from around the world, including from places like Northern Ireland, South Africa, Colombia, and Kashmir, where communities know only too well the pain of entrenched conflict and the importance of civil society in breaking cycles of violence and injustice.
Hier noch einmal der Call to Action from Over 350 Organizations to the G7, den auch der diAk unterschrieben hat.
