As the C7 has several times stated, the G7 can be part of the problem, if it unilaterally promotes the interests of the most developed economies, or part of the solution, if it defends human rights and the common interests of humanity and the planet.<\/p>\nThe dramatic flagrant and unpunished violations of International Humanitarian Law lead to massive suffering of civilians. The G7 and other States should avoid such a silent complicity that enables the continued devastation of wars. They should instead respect and ensure\u00a0respect for IHL and its principles<\/strong>\u00a0of distinction, proportionality and precaution,\u00a0condemning all violations<\/strong>\u00a0of IHL by any actor in every conflict and war. We see a disturbing contradiction between the governments\u2019 calls on peace and ceasefires and the transfer of weapons, parts, and ammunition to parties in conflicts.<\/p>\nWe therefore reaffirm the need to\u00a0strengthen and use the UN<\/strong>\u00a0system of rules, asking the governments to adhere and engage all partners and allies in the international Treaties to prevent war and on disarmament, in respecting the UN Resolutions and to protect the UN institutions, including the particular case of UNRWA.<\/p>\nThe fragility of global peace, the persistence of armed conflicts and the increased risk of nuclear weapons use requires the utmost urgency and concrete actions, that we don\u2019t see yet. A stronger political commitment is needed to implement sustainable solutions to\u00a0tackle critical structural and systemic challenges<\/strong>. We call for\u00a0shifting the financial resources<\/strong>\u00a0from military to diplomacy, human security and social expenditure to foster dialogue and fight the systemic causes of inequalities, poverty and vulnerabilities.<\/p>\nA stronger multilateral system, a shared commitment to protect human rights, a fair financial and economic systems are the\u00a0preconditions for sustainable peace<\/strong>. Therefore, the C7 calls for the G7 countries to urgently take their responsibilities in this perspective for a more peaceful, just and secure future.<\/p>\nCivil7 Press Release<\/strong><\/p>\nwww.civil7.org<\/a><\/p>\nContact<\/strong>: Dario Lo Scalzo, e-mail:\u00a0communications@civil7.org<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0mobile: + 349 38 95 415<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Condividi questo articolo<\/h4>
