I support this proposal and agree with this great and important initiative to abolish militarism and war. I will continue to speak out for an end to the institution of militarism and war and for institutions built on international law and human rights and nonviolent conflict resolution.
Mairead CorriganThe fact is that the American government and NATO have destroyed Iraq and Afghanistan. Their next targets will be Syria and Iran.
Mairead CorriganI believe that hope for the future depends on each of us taking nonviolence into our hearts and minds and developing new and imaginative structures which are nonviolent and life-giving for all.
Mairead CorriganSetting aside human rights and international law to have an agenda of war and killing and occupation to me is totally unacceptable.
Mairead CorriganPresident Obama continues to support war. He continues to remove many basic civil liberties and human rights. He continues to condone drones in Pakistan and Afghanistan that kill women and children. He meets with his advisers every Tuesday morning and signs extrajudicial killings. To me, those are not the actions of a peace person.
