Peace and Neutrality AllianceComhaontas Na Síochána is Neodrachta
OBJECTIVES1. It is within the OSCE and a reformed United Nations,
and not the EU, that Ireland should pursue its security concerns.
2. Ireland should pursue a positive neutrality and independent foreign policy and not join or form an association with any military alliance, such as NATO.
3. Ireland should seek to promote European and international security through a policy of disarmament and should therefore oppose the militarisation of the EU.
4. Ireland should refuse to cooperate with or condone in any way policies or military groupings which maintain nuclear weapons or any weapons of mass destruction.
5. Irish troops should only serve abroad as peacekeepers under the auspices of the UN.

“The world is teetering on the brink of war. There are many factors leading to this
global crisis, namely: the increasingly aggressive actions of US/NATO forces; the raging wars in the Middle East, the ever-expanding arms race with its devastating consequences on national economies and social spending; bellicose language is replacing diplomatic negotiations; the economic crises facing country after country; the destruction of the global environment through war and unfettered exploitation and the impact of this destruction on public health.
This madness must be stopped by popular opposition, but none of us can stop it alone. Global peace forces must come together, mobilizing millions of people in our countries, and around the world, for peace.
Based on this understanding, we have initiated the Global Campaign Against US/NATO Military Bases”.
