An urgent message to the world's
conscience
Silence about the war is a
contribution in it
Mr. Ban Ki-Mun United Nations
Secretary General
Silence about the war is a
contribution in it
Away from delving into the
backgrounds and the details of
the current fierce war in Turkey
and Iraqi Kurdistan, and without
mentioning the justifications of
the parties involved in the
conflict, war at its best, and
no matter how high its
justifications and objectives
are, is the most egregious and
the most heinous act and
dirtiest kinds of human history,
due to its role in killing,
displacing of innocent people,
erupting hatred and prejudices
and sick tendencies in human
beings and due to the
destruction it causes to nature.
The war is a disruption of the
minds and is an activation of
hatred in the hearts. It is a
destruction of the civilized and
peaceful coexistence and
communication between human
beings. Accordingly, warmongers,
its makers, its proponents and
those who are silent about it,
are the enemies of humanity.
Therefore, they should be
disclosed, countered and
deterred.
We, the Intellectual Union of
Western Kurdistan, strongly
deplore and condemn all wars in
the world, and the Turkish
military invasion in particular.
We consider it as a flagrant
violation of the international
law and all norms and
international conventions and
doctrines of human rights and a
flagrant aggression on the
sovereignty of a founding member
of the United Nations and the
Arab League and the Organization
of the Islamic Conference. We
appeal to all world governments,
international institutions and
bodies, and we call the
conscience of the civilized
world, not to remain silent in
the face of this dirty war and
not only to denounce and condemn
it but to interfere quickly and
effectively to put an end to
this human tragedy which has
continued for more than a
quarter century. We also urge
the Turkish State to find a
peaceful, democratic and just
solution to the fair Kurdish
issue in Turkey that satisfies
all the parties, and keep away
from dealing with it by setting
up wars and killing and treating
it by iron and fire. We consider
this as a moral, humanitarian
and a legal duty upon all
relevant international
institutions, referred to. The
atrocities of the war, the size
of its brutality, and the
targeted values of goodness,
love and beauty of human beings
dictate this. We consider any
silence or inaction in the
completion of this grave and
civilised responsibility as
emptying the international
institutions of their utility
and content, and we consider it
as a participation in this war,
and pushing the world towards
the law of the jungle.
