24 Jul 2023 – <\/em>In a recent book, Sanctions: A Wrecking Ball in a Global Economy<\/em> (2022, World View Forum), we are informed that US sanctions “affect a third of humanity” impacting more than 40 countries.\u00a0 The sanctions, conclude the Forum, are a form of economic warfare and amount to Crimes Against Humanity.\u00a0 \u00a0Meanwhile, both Europe and the United States struggle with excessive migration, immigrants seeking a better life for themselves and their families as they flee their impoverished home countries.<\/p>\n

In the USA we find a large number of migrants from countries that the US government doesn’t like — nations preferring a socialist economic model.\u00a0 Their domestic economies have been devastated, not because of socialism, but because of sanctions — a form of economic warfare which happens to be illegal under international law.\u00a0 But US foreign policy refuses to accept international law for itself, and continues to try to destroy targeted nations both by sanctions and by covert operations to overthrow these governments.<\/p>\n

Targeted nations suffer immensely as the means to a healthy domestic economy are blocked.\u00a0 The US propaganda machine blames the targeted nation, not the sanctions which are the real cause.\u00a0 Countries under attack in Latin America include Venezuela, Nicaragua and Cuba.\u00a0 Remove sanctions, and these countries would likely prosper like China prospers.<\/p>\n

We see the same dynamic in Europe where migration appears out of control.\u00a0 Nations under sanctions include Afghanistan, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Uganda and Syria.\u00a0 Because of the economic blockade they are unable to uplift their economies, and as a result desperate citizens, mired in poverty, flee to Europe or the USA.<\/p>\n

The underlying intention of US foreign policy according to Sanctions<\/em> is to “choke the economies of developing nations.”\u00a0 Specific conditions are described for Ethiopia, Eritrea, Chad, Zimbabwe, Yemen and more.\u00a0 We learn that millions are suffering and dying due to the illegal actions by the US and Europe.<\/p>\n

What should be done?\u00a0 The United Nations is unable to enforce international laws, and hence the leaders of Bully nations routinely break the Law with impunity.\u00a0 The solution is for the UN General Assembly to replace the outdated UN Charter with the Earth Constitution<\/em>, a modern world constitution\/charter which has been designed with the capacity to end war in all of its forms, cope in an united way with climate change, and better protect human rights for all.<\/p>\n
