Motivation:

There is first of all the simple fact that fighting parties, both the winning and the loosing, pretend they are the sole depositors of Right and Justice.

Secondly there is the fact that all Peoples, from the dawn of recorded History up till today, have been victims of military brutality and cruelty.

And thirdly there is the fact that every single military action: from the first bayonet stroke to the massive bombardments of cities with no strategic value whatsoever, but of historic value; from the electronically guided missiles – very often causing “collateral” damages –, eventually followed by very expensive anti-missiles, and, at last but not least, the most stupid and dangerously menacing atomic weapons, day and nightly guarded so as to obey political decisions, that all those devastating threats have been taken, without even considering the ecological damages they caused.

Call

All physical persons, convinced by the above listed motivations are called upon to act – passively or actively – within their spheres of influence, so as to forward the development of this Universal Demilitarization.

Remarks:

The present call does not need answering.
Insofar there is conformity of form and content, one may be confident that the Movement will develop of its own inertia. Thus, from Families to Families, from Communities to Communities, and finally, crossing frontiers, from People to People, it will cover the Society of Nations.
Thus the hope will be strengthened that very decisively and calmly, this “Movement for Universal Demilitarization” will leave its imprint in Mankinds Collective Conscience.
