Reactivate the UN Charter to support multilateralism

The Issue

Petition addressed to:

Mr. António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, and to all representatives of UN Member States.

We, the undersigned, call for:

the immediate reactivation of the 1945 version of the Charter of the United Nations so that it may function as a platform of sovereign nation-states founded on the principles of peaceful coexistence and multilateral cooperation, as well as the immediate restoration of respect for the principle of equal rights of peoples and their right to self-determination.

We, the undersigned, denounce:

systematic violations of international law and repeated aggressions against national sovereignty (e.g., Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Sudan, Palestine, Venezuela, Somalia, Cuba, etc.), carried out through the illegal use of sanctions and conditionalities by the United States and its allies, who, collectively, have become major threats to the planet and a profound challenge to life, democracy, and universal peace.

Formal Request
We call upon the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Mr. António Guterres, and all representatives of UN Member States to:

  • undertake a comprehensive reform of the United Nations, including its Security Council, in order to achieve more equitable geographic representation in global decision-making processes;
    in the name of the UN Charter and the principle of multilateralism it enshrines, ensure that each Member State effectively counts as one, thereby better respecting the current architecture of international relations;
  • immediately cease interference by Western countries (the United States and its allies) in nations that do not conform to their worldview, interference that transforms the multilateral principles of the UN Charter into a unipolar order, thereby multiplying crises and fostering instability, erosion of social gains, poverty, widening social inequalities, intolerance, and ostracism;
  • take into account the security concerns of every sovereign nation, together with the immediate and unconditional prohibition of economic, political, and cultural sanctions, and the immediate and unconditional prohibition of the use of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction;
  • immediately redirect all military credits and financial resources granted to the defense industry toward the development of nations in accordance with their specific needs (poverty reduction, healthcare development, education, science, and culture), as well as toward combating global warming, preserving the environment, and protecting biodiversity.

We, citizens of our respective nation-states and citizens of the world under the auspices of the United Nations, do not want war.

We proclaim loudly and unequivocally: WE REFUSE TO GO TO WAR!

We seek to preserve peace and an international order founded on multilateralism and international law, as recognized in the principles of the Charter of the United Nations.
