Translation from German:
Not only Germany with Chancellor Scholz and the ex-war minister Ursula von der Leyen (now President of the EU Commission) is affected.


Neue Begründung:

Over the last two decades, the E.U. has repeatedly been known as a peace project.

Freedom of travel was often praised. But: Whatever one's opinion of the European community of values the time of the peace project and the freedom of travel are seriously endangered!

The E.U. is threatening to collapse and slide into war! It makes no big difference whether former EU states or non-EU member states participate in the CEE region with arms supplies or not. However, it must NEVER be tolerated that weapons are being supplied from EU to warring parties no matter what kind.

Although it has always been told that we don't do such things. As an example, the European Union should not be a debt union. Now the European Commission is again acting outside the self-imposed rules and interfering in a conflict of two neighbouring states of the post-Soviet space.

The E.U. introduced a "European Code of Conduct on Arms Exports" in 1998.

In August 2022, Amnesty International (a non-profit organization that promotes human rights) stated that the Ukrainian army was "[...]Using hospitals for military purposes[...]" which "[...]is a clear violation of international humanitarian law[...]".

It should be said that Amnesty International has already pointed out violations of international humanitarian law with regard to the USA, China (e.g. capital punishment) and Russia (war related) where misconduct had been reported as well by Amnesty.

Therefore, this organization can be considered neutral.

To come back to the code of conduct: One of the criteria, that had been defined by the E.U. states was "2. Criterion Two: Respect for human rights in the country of final destination as well as respect by that country of international humanitarian law.".

How can it therefore be justifiable to supply weapons to this country?

This clearly seems to be a violation of the E.U. Code of Conduct on Arms Exports.

Is violating the own codex clever?

The purpose of this petition is to give citizens in E.U. living all over the world the opportunity to stop the current situation and to remind the Commission that the member states have committed themselves to maintain and maybe even embrace peace!

But there's more to take into account before to decide what is right and what is wrong:

Corruption also is a big problem unluckily in the mentioned states(UA aswell as RU).

E.g. , the NGO "Transparency International" pointed out recently:

Transparency International ranked Ukraine 116th out of 180 countries in terms of corruption, Russia was ranked 137th out of 180 countries countries.

Not only Germany with Chancellor Scholz and the ex-war minister Ursula von der Leyen (now President of the EU Commission) is affected.

The neutral Austrian government decided to provice the government in Kyiv with 570 million € worth of humanitarian aid alone in 2022.

Great Britain, former EU-member state is delivering uranium rounds to UA as part of an aid package.

Armor piercing weapons containing depleted uranium – bombs or grenades are weapons that are still accessible in various countries of the world, despite the questions about the legality of their use in past war /war like conflicts e. g. In former Yugoslavia.

The ukrainian Member of parliament Kira Rudik demanded recently on microblogging service

Twitter "We want russia to become a new North Korea. We want them to become a completely isolated pariah with no partners or allies."

Currently only a hand full of European Union member states are not sending any weapons directly to RU or UA.

We are NOT affiliated to any political organization thus independant human beings that just want peace!

How do you see it? Will you support us to make a difference? Its urgent! Therfore together #letsstopawar .

Although it has always been said that we don't do such things. As an example the EU should not be a debt union. Now the European Commission is again acting outside the self-imposed rules and interfering in a conflict of two neighbouring states of the post-Soviet space.

The European Union introduced a "European Code of Conduct on Arms Exports" in 1998.

For example a Twitter-quote goes:"[...] 78 years after 1945 a German leader is, in a devious way, supporting genocidal Nazi aggression" .

The "neutral" Austrian government decided to provice the government in Kyiv with 5 Million euros officially for infrastructure.

But thats not to say it might end up somewhere else or for further weapon deliveries.

Since not-for-profit organization pointed out:

"Transparency International ranked Ukraine 120th out of 182 countries in terms of corruption, landing it in the second spot in Europe in 2018."

Great Britain former EU-member state is delivering uranium rounds to Ukraine as part of an aid package.

Neue Begründung:

Over the last two decades, the European Union (EU) has repeatedly been dubbed a "peace project".

Freedom of travel was often praised. But: Whatever one's opinion of the European community of values the time of the peace project and the freedom of travel are seriously endangered!

The European Union is threatening to collapse and slide into war! It makes no difference whether former EU states or non-EU member states participate in the CEE region with arms supplies or not. However, it must NEVER be tolerated that weapons are supplied to war parties no matter what kind.

Not only is it wrong for the EU to support a war by supplying weapons but it is also wrong to interfere militarily in the affairs of non-EU states!

Although it has always been said that we don't do such things. As an example the EU should not be a debt union. Now the European Commission is again acting outside the self-imposed rules and interfering in a conflict of two neighbouring states of the post-Soviet space.

The European Union introduced a "European Code of Conduct on Arms Exports" in 1998.

In August 2022, Amnesty International (a non-profit organization that promotes human rights) stated that the Ukrainian army was "[...]Using hospitals for military purposes[...]" which "[...]is a clear violation of international humanitarian law[...]".

It should be said that Amnesty International has already pointed out violations of international humanitarian law with regard to the USA, China (e.g. capital punishment) and Russia (war related) where misconduct had been reported aswell by Amnesty.

Therefore this organization can be considered neutral.

To come back to the code of conduct: One of the criteria, that had been defined by the EU statets was "2.  Criterion Two: Respect for human rights in the country of final destination as well as respect by that country of international humanitarian law.".

How can it therefore be justifiable to supply weapons to this country?

This is clearly a violation of the EU Code of Conduct on Arms Exports.

Is that clever? Shouldn't one at least honestly ask the people (hold a referendum) before setting such actions?

The purpose of this petition is to give citizens of the entire European Union the opportunity to veto the decision and to remind the Commission that the member states have committed themselves to keeping the peace.

Germany is sending tanks to Ukraine now. But not only is Russia threatening Germany for this behaviour as President of Russia Putin is been reminded of "Stalingrad" and President of Ukraine Zelensky demands more weapons.

Germany has a hard time staying neutral. Pro-Ukrainian activists even insulted the German Chancellor for hesitating on his descision whether to deliver tanks or not.

For example a Twitter-quote goes:"[...] 78 years after 1945 a German leader is, in a devious way, supporting genocidal Nazi aggression" .

The "neutral" Austrian government decided to provice the government in Kyiv with 5 Million euros officially for infrastructure.

But thats not to say it might end up somewhere else or for further weapon deliveries.

Since not-for-profit organization pointed out:

"Transparency International ranked Ukraine 120th out of 182 countries in terms of corruption, landing it in the second spot in Europe in 2018."

Great Britain former EU-member state is delivering uranium rounds to Ukraine.Ukraine as part of an aid package.

Armor-piercingArmor piercing weapons containing depleted uranium – bombs or grenades are weapons that are still accessible in various countries of the world, despite the questions about the legality of their use in past war /war like conflicts e. g. In former Yugoslavia.

Currently only EU member states not sending any weapons directly to Russia or Ukraine.areUkraine are Ireland, Hungary, Malta and Austria.

Never before has the participation for a war in every single state of the European Union been so numerous as this time! I find that alarming.

How do you see it?
