Call of the International Forum for Peace Against Wars, Blockades, Military Spending, and the Genocide of the Palestinian People

LET US SOW LIFE | 21 September 2025

On this September 21, declared by the UN as the International Day of Peace, dedicated to strengthening the ideals of peace, at a time when the increase in military spending is generating a spiral of warmongering that endangers the future of humanity, we, from the International Forum for Peace, wish to express our rejection of wars, the arms race, the arsenal of weapons of mass destruction, the exponential growth of military spending, and our defense of a future of Peace and progress for humanity.

Statement by the International Peace Bureau (IPB) on the U.S. Attacks Against Venezuelan Vessels and the Escalation of Military Deployments in the Caribbean

The International Peace Bureau (IPB) expresses deep concern over the recent deployment of U.S. Navy destroyers off the coast of Venezuela and, most urgently, the destruction of two Venezuelan vessels that resulted in the deaths of 14 people. Such militarization of the Caribbean constitutes a direct threat to the “Zone of Peace” that Latin American and Caribbean states have collectively declared. Far from promoting stability, these actions risk inflaming tensions, undermining sovereignty, and dragging the region into dangerous cycles of militarization and violence.

9 September 2025, New York – Following a decade-long military build-up, global military spending hit a record high in 2024, soaring by more than nine per cent from 2023 and signaling a dangerous move away from the principles of the UN Charter.

Amid an era of geopolitical tension and distrust fueling unprecedented death and destruction around the world, the UN Secretary-General’s report, The Security We Need: Rebalancing Military Spending for a Sustainable and Peaceful Future, urges UN Member States to recalibrate security and development priorities.

We, the undersigned organizations, on the occasion of the International Day Against Nuclear Tests, 29 August 2025, express our deep concern at the passing of more than six decades since the start of the series of nuclear tests conducted by France in the Algerian Sahara between 1960 and 1966. These included 17 nuclear explosions in addition to 40 subcritical supplementary tests, leaving a heavy legacy of widespread radioactive contamination and resulting in severe health, environmental, and social damage that remains to this day.

Global | Palestinian and Global Civil Society Call for a Global Day of Action and Strike September 18th, 2025

Date and Time: 18-Sep

Location: Global

Description of Activity:

On September 18, 2024, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) adopted Resolution A/ES-10/L.31, demanding Israel end its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) within 12 months and to immediately comply with the provisional measures in the genocide case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ). Since then Israel has entrenched its occupation and escalated its genocidal attacks on Gaza causing the United Nations to declare famine in Gaza. The Palestinian NGO Network (PNGO) and Global Civil Society is calling for a Global Strike and Day of Action on September 18, 2025, to denounce Israel’s refusal to comply with this order, and to demand that UN member nations act immediately to end Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people.

United Kingdom | ‘Kick out Trump’s Nukes’ – National Demonstration at RAF Lakenheath

Date and Time: 20- Sep, 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm London Time

Location: RAF Lakenheath

Description of Activity:

Evidence is clear that US nuclear weapons have arrived in Britain – at the Lakenheath NATO base in Suffolk. These deadly weapons make us all a target. And they increase the risk of Britain being dragged into Trump’s reckless wars.

The majority of the population totally understand how these nuclear weapons don’t make us safer. That’s why a majority oppose their deployment here in Britain.

As part of the actions to condemn Trump’s shameful state visit, join us at Lakenheath to say loud and clear that neither he nor his nuclear bombs are welcome here!

Assemble at the Main Gate at 1pm.
