Women's Lobby (EWL)

21 January 2003, Brussels
EWL Declaration Against War
Women From All Over Europe Say No to War Against Iraq and Call for
a Halt to Militarisation
The European Women's Lobby, representing over
3000 women's NGOs in Europe
° Committed to achieve the full realization of women's human rights
and sustainable development
° Aware that modern warfare disproportionatel affects civilian
populations, especially women and children
° Deeply concerned that violence against women and girls in conflict
and post-conflict situations is extreme, systematic and widespread
° Asserting that a culture of militarization disempowers and silences
women's voices as they engage in daily actions in support of peace,
justice and solidarity in their communities
° Acknowledging that the current militarization process holds
back investment in human rights, social development and gender equality
While condemning the oppressive regime of Saddam Hussein, we believe
that a war is not the solution. A war will be a disaster for the women,
men and children of Iraq who are already suffering because of the
embargo. The UN Charter must be respected as the basis for the coexistence
in peace. A war aginst Iraq could alos have a devastating impact on
people across the Middle
East and neighboring regions. Pressure from the US to wage war against
Iraq not only prevents other solutions from emerging, but also undermines
the existing UN mechanisms for upholding human rights and strengthening
women's rights.
Women All Over Europe Call For
° Governments to use their powers to press for and pursue negotiations
in favour of a peaceful resolution
° The rejection of unilateral support of USA policy by any country
in the European region
° EU Member States, countries in accession to the EU and other
Europena countries to bring their influence to bear and to press Iraq
to accept political solutions and to accept fully the mandate of the
UN inspectors.
° For all European Union Member States, countries in accession
to the EU and other European countries to ensure the implementation
of all commitments in the UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on women's
role in conflict resolution and sustainable peace.
