JNV has 6 Core Principles guiding our
opposition to the 'war on terrorism':
1)
We condemn
the terrorist atrocities committed on September 11th 2001.
We also condemn the idea of taking revenge for these deaths
by military
retaliation against Afghanistan, Iraq or any other country.
2)
We believe
that the proper reaction to the September 11th atrocities
is
to proceed on the basis of international law, following the
UN Charter, and
working through the extradition law, to bring the perpetrators
of these acts
to justice.
3)
We believe
that the right response to the problem of proliferation is
to disarm all countries of all
weapons of mass destruction, applying the
same non-proliferation rules and inspection systems to all
the countries
of the world.
4)
We stand shoulder
to shoulder with the Muslim communities in Britain, and
demand an end to anti-Muslim attacks and prejudice.
5)
We reject
the erosion of civil liberties in the name of 'anti-terrorism', whether in Britain or elsewhere.
We cannot defend freedom by destroying it.
6)
As a network,
we are committed to campaigning solely by nonviolent means.
