Dominicans warn: Europe has to fight for peace and justice!

In an urgent call, the Dominicans in Europe turn against war and military upgrading. In a statement that was signed by P. Günter Reitzi, the person responsible for justice and peace in Germany, the persistent war in Ukraine is sentenced to "unjust and criminal act". The religious community appeals to governments and citizens to make decisions that promote peace and justice. The Dominicans emphasize the need to provide diplomacy about military solutions and call for a departure investment to global initiatives that combat hunger and promote education. This urgent explanation was also supported by the Austrian Order Conference, such as kathpress.at reported.

The Dominican appeal has historical roots and respects the demands of the "Berlin Appell - Creating Peace without Weapons", which was published exactly 40 years ago. Written by Robert Havemann and Rainer Eppelmann, this document called for this document to banish all nuclear weapons from Europe and to demilize the German states. It was an active resistance to the militaristic ideas of the then GDR, which understood as a peace affair, while it was actually propagated by war and fear. The Berlin appeal was signed by many people, despite the pressure of the SED leadership, tried to suppress the spread. The relevance of this appeal remains unbroken to this day and is illustrated by current conflicts and the armaments debate, as havemann-gesellschaft.de

calls after global cooperation

The common goal of the Dominicans and the author of the Berlin appeal is to create a more stable, peaceful world order. The Dominicans are calling for the United Nations strengthening and are committed to a new security system in Europe based on disarmament and human rights. The Dominican appeal is more than just a reaction to the current conflicts; He is a call for action to prevent the tragic consequences of wars and to shape a peaceful future.
