Leaders of the United Nations and Member States! Help Russia and Ukraine to Bring About Peace Through the UN Rule of Law!

 

A message from Members of the Leadership Council of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network and Members of the SDSN Community*

 

NEW YORK — The war in Ukraine threatens not only sustainable development, but the survival of humanity. We call on all nations, operating in accordance with the UN Charter, to put diplomacy to the service of humanity by ending the war through negotiations before the war ends all of us.

 

The world must urgently return to the path of peace. Blessed are the peacemakers, teaches Jesus in the Gospels. The Qur’an invites the righteous to the Dar as-Salam, the abode of peace. Buddha teaches Ahimsa, nonviolence to all living beings. Isaiah prophesizes the day when nation will no longer fight against nation, nor train for war anymore.

 

International peace and security are the first purposes of the United Nations. The world’s nations dare not fail to bring peace to Ukraine in the momentous hours ahead.

 

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is repugnant, cruel, and sacrilegious, in the words of Pope Francis, making the search for peace our most urgent need. This is especially true as an even more devastating military confrontation builds in Eastern Ukraine. President Vladimir Putin has recently declared the peace talks at a “dead end.” The world cannot accept this. All nations and the United Nations must do all in their power to revive the peace talks and bring the parties to a successful and rapid agreement.

Peace requires dialogue and diplomacy, not more heavy weaponry that will ultimately lay Ukraine to utter ruin. The path of military escalation in Ukraine is one of guaranteed suffering and despair. Still worse, military escalation risks a conflict that spirals to Armageddon.

The UN Security Council (UNSC) has the world’s sacred responsibility to keep the peace. 

 

They have a zeal for peace, but not according to accurate knowledge.

Feels like I just read the TLDR version of the book of Revelation. 😅

 

In all seriousness it does seem like they are ramping up to do something. The calls for P&S are growing louder by the day.

Yes, and expressions of limited low yield nuclear missiles use is often on the news (Survival of humanity)

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has told CNN "all of the countries of the world" should be prepared for the possibility that Russian President Vladimir Putin could use tactical nuclear weapons in his war on Ukraine.https://www.9news.com.au/world/russia-ukraine-updates-volodymyr-zelenskyy-says-world-should-be-prepared-for-possibility-vladimir-putin-could-use-nuclear-weapons/81e13d5f-e68f-4902-b4f7-0448497cf312

Talking to many brothers it is amazing how the feeling is the same that something is about to happen at any moment, for me this false peace and security happens this year if it is not already in progress. simply my opinion

Op-Ed: The U.N. has to reform itself to bring peace to Ukraine

Sorry - sightly off topic but related nonetheless.

 

I get fed up with hearing that "the UN has strongly condemned this, that or the other". 

The latest they have apparently 'condemned' is that police have used live bullets to control a protest in Sri Lanka and have killed one person and injured 14 others, 3 critically. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-61151037

 

Just like a parent who threatens a disobedient child with the same punishment, over and over again, but doesn't actually do anything, and the child just continues in its course.

 

They really do need to lift their game if they want to be able to say 'peace and security'.  (I brought it back to the topic. 😁)

Then we can get the show on the road. 😉

Maybe a change in behaviour will be a good sign for us, who have been used for years/decades to these "condemn"

António Guterres urged to take lead in securing peace in Ukraine or risk future of UN

Former UN officials say body could be doomed if secretary general does not play a bigger role in mediating for peace in Ukraine

A group of more than 200 former senior UN officials have written to the UN secretary general, António Guterres, warning him that unless he does more personally to take a lead in trying to mediate a peace in Ukraine, the UN risks not just irrelevance, but its continued existence.

“The Russian invasion of Ukraine severely undermines the post-world war two global order. It is the pinnacle of a series of threats to humanity’s peace and security, shared prosperity and respect for human rights that the UN embodies.”https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/19/antonio-guterres-urged-to-take-lead-in-securing-peace-in-ukraine-or-risk-future-of-un

This is just to keep things orderly.
