Prominent figures from all over the world are calling
for a joint search for a solution to the existing crisis and current global
problems. They are warning about the destructive consequences of a new arms
race. The signees have urged “those in power” to create a new way to maintain
“security and peace from Vancouver to Vladivostok” instead.
On April 14, 2018 multiple figures from different
countries spoke in favor of returning common sense
to international relations and have suggested a joint search for a
political solution to the existing crisis. They have urged, to find
and utilize "new roads to an order of peace and security
from Vancouver to Vladivostok," in accordance with the
Charter of Paris for a New Europe. The original signees
to the appeal are German conductor Justus Frantz, former
chief of staff of the German armed forces Harald Kujat, physicist
Bruno Redeker, the CEO of the Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker foundation.
Many prominent figures from countries all
over the world have also signed the appeal, such as former German
Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel, German historian Jörg Baberowski, Russian
political scientist Vladislav Belov, Russian economist Ruslan Grinberg, French
philosopher Rémi Brague, Polish philosopher Andrzej Bronk, Austrian physicist
Christian Fabjan, former SPD chairman and head of the Brandenburg cabinet
Matthias Platzeck, Islamic scholar Ralph Ghadban, publicist and author
from Paris Alfred Grosser, political scientist Alexander Rahr, former
German Interior Minister Otto Schily as well as many others.
"The time is running out! Sign
to join our appeal to the great
of this world in order to break the
antagonism of provocation and counter-provocation,
suspicions and accusations, threats and
counter-threats, sanctions and counter-sanctions, erroneous judgments and
exaggerated reactions and to return to jointly applied reason,"
says the appeal, published on the website of the Carl Friedrich von
Weizsäcker foundation, which has been translated from German
into English and Russian.
The appeal focuses on multiple present problems,
such as climate change, wars and the refugee crisis. The signatories warn
of the existing danger that Russia and the United States "no longer
see themselves as the stabilizing and leading powers." They also note
that now these nations mainly consider themselves "the representatives
of national interests" and that China, India, Turkey and Iran are
increasingly showing the same trend.
The signees believe, that the mutual predictability
of the Cold War and mutual trust after its end has been "mostly
lost." They claim it instead has given way to political tensions,
military confrontation and the return of an arms race with the
addition of China to it. The appeal also warns that the use
of the newest technologies in both conventional and nuclear armaments
poses a threat to all people, as a simple human error and technical
fault could push humanity "dangerously close to the point of no
return."
In the end, the appeal urges to prevent the
further proliferation of nuclear weapons, to use political foresight
and confidence-building military actions in the Middle East and Ukraine,
to bring peace to hotspots in the world, such
as Afghanistan and to ensure a reliable and real future
for mankind.
