Source: Stand with Ukraine, Peace and Human Rights
The Alliance of Tri-People for the Advancement of Human Rights (ALTAHR) and its member organizations and network condemns the aggression and war by Russia in Ukraine.
We join the global community in the call for peaceful solution of the conflict and the protection of the rights of Ukrainians and Russians alike affected by the conflict.
The war blatantly violated the Right of Ukraine to sovereignty and of every Ukrainian’s right to life, dignity and peace. ALTAHR is opposed to all violent, unfair and imposing acts to advance ones interest.
We believe that war only brings immeasurable devastations, generational hatred and fundamentally violates every aspect of human rights. Almost a million of Ukrainians has fled their country, more than a thousand are injured, and more than three hundred died and not less than 10 are children.
ALTAHR calls for immediate cessation of hostilities and parties should get back to the negotiating table with sincere intention to end the conflict putting the interest of the citizens and global peace at the center.
It is clear that partisan, power and military competitions among powerful nations is a threat to global peace and security. Wars across the globe gravely affect the poor countries, poor populations, women, minorities, children and not just the economic and political balance of the globe.
While Ukraine’s right to be independent as a sovereign country should be respected, ethnic Russian minorities in the east of Ukraine should also be defended and their right to be autonomous be respected. Russia at the same time should recognize, respect and uphold Ukraine’s right to self-determination and so is the United States of America and its allies in NATO.
We call on the United Nation that while the entity is in the process of settling the dispute between Ukraine and Russia it is only proper to remove and or suspend for the meantime Russia’s chairmanship in the Security Council since it is a party of the conflict.
At all times, protection of civilians should be a top priority along with humanitarian response.
Like many other sovereign nation and entities all over the world, from Palestine to Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, anywhere else one’s sovereignty and rights should be respected. No nation has the right to oppress other nation. Military aggression is totally unjustifiable. Neutrality in times of Injustice is supporting the aggressor!
Dignity, Freedom and Democracy for All!
Defend the Rights of Ukraine!
Defend the Rights of Russian Minorities in Ukraine!
Pull-out Russian troops in Ukraine! Pull-Out NATO in the region!
Implement the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons!
