Violence, wherever it comes, must be condemned in the strongest terms by
bringing the full weight of justice on the culpable. They must coordinate all
intelligence services to act quickly and effectively.
And, calmly, without pause, analyze the causes to
prevent further outrages. To realise
that law should get involved with diligence on the fanatics, racists and
xenophobes because their behaviour is essentially against democracy. To those who upraise -like the Republicans of
the United States, Le Pen supporters in France or the German Nazis…- positions totally
adverse to the exercise of human rights and ethical values, endangering safety
and pressuring on violent, it is urgent to face them without delay.
Because it is clear that who sows humiliation and contempt
is responsible for the harvest of animosity and hatred.
Now we see what is has led the substitution of
democratic multilateralism by plutocracy, ethical values by markets,
cooperation by exploitation.
Therefore, it requires a radical change of attitude in
order that equal dignity of all human beings becomes a reality at a global
level.
Westerners who
promoted the invasion of Iraq, based on the presumption and lie, causing thousands
of dead, injured and displaced five million persons; who failed to contribute
to the success of the "Arab Spring", ignoring the voices of many
people; who have drastically reduced development aid rather than increasing it;
and have failed to receive, as appropriate and deserve, refugees and migrants;
who forget the Universal Justice and basic rights when negotiate with countries
characterized by the continued violation of the most basic human rights ...
must now give a very big change of course with the support of an immense amount
of citizens who wish to contribute to build up less somber horizons.
“We, the
peoples...” must now put our everyday behavior at the forefront; rectify once and
for all the daily genocide of thousands of persons dying of hunger and abandonment
while 3 billion dollars are invested in weapons and military expenditures.
Changes are
feasible, as those accomplished by President Obama in the case of Iran, giving
a hand to Islam rather than raising it... and welcoming several million
immigrants....
I insist that
the only solution is a global call to harmony, ensuring that henceforth totally
different attitudes are adopted.
Never justify terrorist barbarity, but should also be
avoided detestable, unsupportive and exclusionary behaviour. It is necessary to
rethink calmly, from the same causes, in order to take appropriate preventive
and curative measures because palliative treatments result in reoccurrence.
Some time ago, I proposed the urgent call of a Special
Session of the United Nations, because being all are aware of what is at stake,
measures on a global level that allow the "new beginning" that the
“Earth Charter” fosters are adopted. I remember again that "unprecedented solutions
for unprecedented situations," are necessary, as Amin Maalouf stated.
Otherwise, we will go back to our old ways, to action and reaction, to reprisal and counter-reprisal...
Let’s go, with courage and lucidity, to change “course and ship “as José Luis Sampedro proclaimed. The voice of the people, of millions of persons, must rise now for these changes. A great mobilization on social networks is necessary. Let us not be more passive spectators. Indifference is equivalent to complicity.
Crime of silence.
