We declare the following to be necessary measures if Canada is to make a contribution to a just world peace.

1. Withdraw from military alliances or coalitions led by the US, which are the biggest threat to peace and harmony among nations today. This includes NATO, NORAD and arrangements being put into place under US NORTHCOM.



2. End our involvement in the occupation of foreign lands and bring all occupying troops home.



3. Respect and uphold the United Nations' Charter - founded on a rejection of the principle of "Might makes Right" - which prohibits both waging, and threatening to wage, wars of aggression, including so-called "preventive" wars and other forms of arbitrary interference in the affairs of sovereign states.



4. Renounce the use of force and violence for settling disagreements and conflicts among nations, including so-called humanitarian military interventions and aggression committed in the name of "The Responsibility to Protect" civilians. Aggression cloaked in the language of human rights or peacemaking is hypocrisy of the highest order.



5. Engage in trade and other international affairs on the basis of equality and mutual benefit. Oppose unfair and unequal trade regimes such as those enforced by NAFTA and the WTO that create conditions for trade wars that in turn lead to shooting wars.



6. Get Canada out of the international arms trade and advocate the revival of an effective Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty to ensure the non-lethal use of nuclear power.



7. Reject all measures which result in the de-facto annexation of Canada by the US empire, such as the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP), investors' rights treaties like NAFTA masquerading as "free trade" agreements, along with other arrangements of an economic, political and military nature designed to put Canada's natural and human resources at the service of the U.S. project for world domination.



8. Recognize our duty to hold our leaders to critical account when war and aggression are waged in our name, all the more so when this is done hypocritically in the name of "peacemaking," "Canadian values" or "ridding the world of terrorism."



9. Recognize the central role of Justice in any quest for Peace. Peace without Justice is a cruel charade.



10. Recognize that peace is not only Possible; it is Necessary. Its attainment, however, requires a tenacious struggle to defeat any pro-war agenda promoted by the government.
