The Kuala Lumpur Initiative to Criminalise War | Global Research

This declaration was initially adopted almost 10 years ago in
December 2005 as a consensus statement on the need to end all wars of
aggression as a means to ensuring the survival of humanity.

“Killings in war are as criminal as the killings within societies in times of peace. Since
killings in peace time are subject to the domestic law of crime,
killings in war must likewise be subject to the international law of
crimes. This should be so irrespective of whether these killings in war
are authorized or permitted by domestic law.”

More than ever the Kuala Lumpur Initiative should be widely
understood and applied. The Pentagon and NATO are the protagonists of
war and war crimes. 

The US has embarked upon the ultimate war crimes, a military adventure, “a long war”, which threatens the future of humanity.
The Pentagon’s global military design is one of world conquest. The
military deployment of US-NATO forces is occurring in several regions of
the world simultaneously, resulting in millions of civilian deaths and
countless atrocities.

Bear in mind, the KL Declaration also calls for the criminalization of the military industrial complex including the so-called defense contractors as well as science labs which
conceptualize and develop advanced weapons systems:  “All commercial,
financial, industrial and scientific activities that aid and abet war
should be criminalised.” 

The KL declaration also targets the corporate media as well as
Hollywood which routinely glorifies acts of killing and destruction.
