Iran\u2019s Conditions and Declaration of Global Conscience signed and individually affirmed by listed non-Iranians.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cSix Non\u2011Negotiable Terms from <\/strong><strong>international <\/strong><strong>Scholars and Former Officials from 30 countries to End the U.S. War on Iran Amid Trump\u2019s Threat of War Crimes\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The conscience of humanity resists \u201ceverything for us, nothing for others,\u201d the creed of the predatory empire erected on the corpses of nations. The shameless rapacity and insolence have reached their zenith, and Trump\u2019s threats illustrate the depraved spirit of a decaying civilisation. We must not be passive witnesses, but active architects of a new world where arrogance crumbles and righteousness prevails.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A large transnational group of prominent voices\u2014including former UN officials, Retired career diplomats, former ministers, scholars and intellectuals, political figures and former parliamentarians, military and security professionals, artists, lawyers as well as journalists, activists, and antiwar leaders, from 30 countries\u2014has released an open letter sharply criticising the global role of the United States and calling for a new international order centered on sovereignty and resistance to what they describe as Western domination.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most of the signatories are from Western countries, alongside participants from Asia, Latin America, and Africa. The declaration, titled <em>\u201cA Declaration to the Conscience of Humanity,\u201d<\/em> was signed by over 170 signatories from countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, France, Portugal, Belgium, Italy, Scotland, Ireland, Australia, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Sweden, Serbia, Poland, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Lithuania, Russia, China, Malaysia, India, Brazil, Venezuela, Argentina, Mexico, South Africa, Lebanon, Turkey, and Iran.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this fact-based public letter, the authors deliver a sweeping critique of American foreign policy and historical conduct. The letter states that for \u201c249 years\u2014spanning the entirety of its existence since 1776\u2014the United States built a record of atrocity that belonged to a darker, pre-civilised age,\u201d describing the country as \u201ca predatory empire erected on the corpses of nations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The signatories, including current and former professors affiliated with 52 universities and academic institutions worldwide, accuse Washington of maintaining global military dominance through an extensive overseas presence. They state that the United States operates \u201cover 800 military garrisons poisoning more than 90 foreign countries and territories\u201d and has cultivated what the signatories call \u201ca doctrine of absolute predation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The declaration also condemns U.S. involvement in major wars of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, referring to what it calls \u201cthe genocidal horror of Vietnam,\u201d \u201cthe annihilation of Cambodia,\u201d and the \u201csystematic slaughter of Koreans,\u201d as well as the destruction of Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A central focus of the document is the ongoing confrontation involving Iran. These public figures argue that the current situation reflects what they describe as an expansionist U.S. strategy aimed at dominating global resources. According to the statement, the United States government is driven by \u201cthe demonic creed of \u2018everything for us, nothing for others\u2019,\u201d which they say seeks control of global resources ranging from \u201cthe oil of Venezuela\u201d to \u201cthe mineral wealth of Greenland\u201d or \u201cthe energy reserves of Canada\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The undersigned further assert that U.S. policy now \u201cfixates on Iran\u201d because the country possesses \u201cover seven percent of the world\u2019s mineral and energy wealth,\u201d which they describe as \u201cthe final frontier of plunder.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The document also criticizes contemporary American leadership, arguing that the \u201c<strong>moral collapse of the West finds its embodiment in the pathetic figure of Mr. Trump<\/strong>,\u201d and calling for what they describe as an end to \u201cthe era of pillage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond its criticism of U.S. policy, the announcement proposes several demands that the signatories say are necessary to end the current war on Iran. These include guarantees against future aggression, the dismantling of U.S. military installations in the region, formal international condemnation of acts of aggression, reparations for damages caused by war, the establishment of a new legal framework for the Strait of Hormuz, recognising Iran\u2019s sovereignty, and the prosecution and extradition of operatives in anti-Iranian media who have incited this bloodshed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The authors also call on intellectuals, scholars, institutions, and civil society organizations worldwide to condemn what is described as the normalization of violations of international law and to challenge the global\u00a0structures that sustain domination and military intervention.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In conclusion, the signatories argue that the present moment represents a decisive historical turning point. \u201cWe stand with justice\u2014not as passive witnesses, but as active architects of a new world,\u201d the letter states, emphasizing that the international community must confront what it calls the return of predatory power in global politics.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the signatories are prominent scientists and figures representing a wide array of expertise and leadership, including philosophers, economists, historians, sociologists, jurists, theologians, Islamologists, reverends, biologists, physicians, musicians, filmmakers, songwriters, singers, entrepreneurs, engineers, novelists, theorists, as well as a physicist, a psychologist, an anthropologist, and a comedian. This diverse coalition reflects the global conscience of humanity, uniting professionals, scholars, and advocates from multiple disciplines in a shared call against U.S. exceptionalism.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The full text of the declaration, along with the complete list of signatories, has been released publicly in more than ten languages:<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>A Declaration to the Conscience of Humanity<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>To the peoples of the world, to thinkers, to scholars, and to those who believe in justice:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A specter now haunts the conscience of humanity\u2014the return of predatory power\u2014 and it shall no longer go unchallenged.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For 249 years\u2014spanning the entirety of its existence since 1776\u2014the United States built a record of atrocity that belonged to a darker, pre-civilised age; the predatory empire erected on the corpses of nations; from the genocide of nearly 5 million Indigenous peoples, to the brutal enslavement of over 4 million Africans, to the lynching of more than 4,000 Black citizens under Jim Crow. With over 800 military garrisons poisoning more than 90 foreign countries and territories, it cultivated a doctrine of absolute predation. From the genocidal horror of Vietnam, with over 3 million dead; to the annihilation of Cambodia, where 2 million perished under US-backed terror; to the systematic slaughter of Koreans, with more than 4 million Korean lives extinguished; to the destruction of Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Afghanistan, where one million Iraqis and tens of thousands of Libyans were consumed by US fire.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet the rational order that governs the world once helped humanity move beyond such practices. Humanity had consigned this barbarism to history. But now we are witnessing its return. The ongoing, systematic immolation of Gaza through the sustained support for the genocidal Israeli regime, where over 77,000 civilians in Palestine have been butchered\u2014the scale of this atrocity reveals an inescapable truth: the pre-civilised practice has returned, and Washington has once again become its willing executor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the demonic creed of \u201ceverything for us, nothing for others.\u201d With shameless rapacity, it claims the resources of the world\u2014whether the oil of Venezuela, the mineral wealth of Greenland, or the energy reserves of Canada\u2014as objects of strategic entitlement. And now, that gluttonous eye fixates on Iran. Because Iran\u2014possessing over 7% of the world\u2019s mineral and energy wealth\u2014is seen as the final frontier of plunder.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet this is no longer a matter of economics. It is a matter of honour. The world witnesses that the United States is actively engaged in a criminal enterprise termed the \u201cRamadan War\u201d against the Iranian nation. This ongoing butchery has already claimed the lives of 208 innocent children. Let the world mark the date\u2014168 of them were little girls, elementary students at the Shadjareh Tayyebeh School in Minab city in Iran, extinguished in their classrooms by US ordained terror.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their futile and desperate contrivances aim at so-called \u201cregime change\u201d and the fragmentation of Iran\u2014stripping the nation of its sovereignty and, thereby, facilitating the systematic plunder of its resources. In pursuit of this ultimate depravity, the U.S. brutally assassinated Iran\u2019s spiritual and intellectual leader, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei\u2014recognised globally as a voice against arrogance and terrorism\u2014along with his family.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They have waged a war of targeted terror against the very pillars of the Iranian state. To date, US aggression has criminally murdered 39 Iranian statesmen, including the scientific genius Dr. Ali Larijani, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, the insolence has reached its zenith. The US President openly threatens the Iranian people on social media with the destruction of their energy infrastructure. This is the depraved spirit of a decaying civilisation. The moral collapse of the West finds its embodiment in the pathetic figure of Mr. Trump\u2014a man whose catastrophic conduct over the last two years has exhausted not only the world, but his own people. The time has come to declare, with one voice: Enough! The era of pillage is over.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the United States has made a fatal miscalculation. What stands before it is not merely a nation, but a civilisation that has weaponised its own DNA\u2014ancient organisational genius fused with 21st-century scientific sovereignty. This is the reality of active deterrence by Iran; a global pole of power that dictates the terms of engagement, forcing strategic retreat by rewriting the very rules of active defence. Now, its adaptive reorganisation, civilisational continuity, and social unity have fused into a singular, unbreakable force.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iran\u2019s all-encompassing defence and active deterrence represents a golden opportunity to end global hegemony. The historical and civilisational doctrine of Iran is absolute: power does not confer right, and domination cannot serve as a foundation for justice. This is recognised as the bedrock of Iran\u2019s invincibility. The world may avail itself of this historic turning point, drawing upon this very doctrine of liberation, to bring an end to domination and oppression wherever they may exist.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">US and Israeli exceptionalism have dragged the world into an epoch defining choice between might and right, sovereignty and subjugation, dignity and dishonour. This moment must serve as the wake-up call for humanity to recognize that there is another way. It must impel people everywhere to do everything in their power to challenge the structures undergirding a global system that desecrates every moral value including the right to life itself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iran is the final frontier. If it falls, the hope of a better, enlightened future for the world dies with it. We cannot let that happen. The aggression against Iran is part of a system of global power that oppresses all of us. We cannot afford to stand by and watch arrogant authoritarianism running amok. Our very future depends on the success of Iran.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore we cannot countenance any outcome of this war that involves a return to the status quo ante. Those who inflict such suffering must be made to pay a hefty price for their crimes. They must be made to realise that military might does not absolve them of the responsibility to uphold the laws on which the peace and security of our world depend. To that end, we support the terms set out by Iran for ending this war.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the perspective of global justice, the terms for ending this war are absolute and non-negotiable:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Guarantees against repetition and a binding international commitment ensuring no future aggression.<\/li>\n<li>The immediate dismantling of all US military installations in the region.<\/li>\n<li>Formal admission of aggression, international condemnation of the aggressors, and full reparations for life and property.<\/li>\n<li>An immediate end to war on all regional fronts.<\/li>\n<li>A new legal regime for the Strait of Hormuz, recognising Iran\u2019s sovereignty.<\/li>\n<li>The prosecution and extradition of operatives in anti-Iranian media who have incited this bloodshed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We, the undersigned in spirit, call upon our peers, the thinkers, the scholars, the institutions of conscience, and the advocates of justice across the world:<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Condemn the United States unequivocally for its systematic normalisation of contempt for international covenants and its reversion to the spirit of historical savagery and barbarism.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Isolate the rogue regime of the United States diplomatically and economically for its ongoing crimes against humanity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Recognise Iran\u2019s inherent right to active deterrence against unprovoked aggression.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Demand the immediate cessation of American and U.S.-sponsored terrorism and the prosecution of those who order it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As it has always done, history will record the courage of those who refuse to remain silent. We stand with justice\u2014not as passive witnesses, but as active architects of a new world that has reached its threshold where arrogance crumbles and righteousness prevails. The arrogant must be dismantled. The world demands it. Justice will enforce it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Signed in solidarity;<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Richard Falk (USA)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Professor\u00a0Emeritus\u00a0of\u00a0International Law\u00a0at\u00a0<em>Princeton University\u00a0<\/em>and former\u00a0<em>UN Special Rapporteur\u00a0<\/em>on human rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (2008 \u2013 2014) author or editor of more than 50 books on international law and global politics<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Denis Halliday (Ireland)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Former UN Secretary-General deputy and Humanitarian Coordinator in Iraq, <em>Gandhi International Peace Award (2003)<\/em><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Norman Finkelstein (USA)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Highly internationally known political scientist, son of Holocaust-survivor parents, widely cited &amp; recognized in Middle East political debate. former Professor at universities of <strong><em>DePaul<\/em><\/strong><em>, <strong>Princeton,<\/strong> <strong>Rutgers <\/strong><\/em>and<em> New York<\/em><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Avi Shlaim (UK)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Professor\u00a0Emeritus\u00a0of International Relations and Historian at St Antony\u2019s College, <em>Oxford University, <\/em><em>British Academy Medal (2017) <\/em>for lifetime achievement,<em>PEN Hessell\u2011Tiltman Prize (2024) <\/em>for historical writing<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Hans von Sponeck (Germany)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Former UN Assistant Secretary-General and UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Iraq<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Alain de Benoist (France)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Internationally recognized philosopher and essayist whose work spans political theory, philosophy, history of religions, and cultural criticism, focused on critiques of liberalism, universalism, and modern egalitarian ideology<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Chris Williamson (UK)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Former\u00a0<em>Shadow Minister<\/em>for Communities and Local Government (2010 to 2013), Former member of Parliament for 7 years, former leader of Derby City Council<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Boaventura de Sousa Santos (Portugal)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the world\u2019s most internationally highly cited sociologists, Professor\u00a0Emeritus\u00a0of\u00a0Sociology\u00a0at the School of\u00a0Economics\u00a0of the\u00a0<em>University of Coimbra,\u00a0<\/em>Distinguished\u00a0Legal Scholar\u00a0at the\u00a0<em>University of Wisconsin-Madison\u00a0Law School, <\/em>Founder of the <em>World Social Forum<\/em> &amp; the concept of<em> \u201cEpistemologies of the South\u201d<\/em><em>, <\/em><em>Frantz Fanon Lifetime Achievement Award (2022),<\/em> <em>Kalven Prize, Jabuti Award, Gulbenkian Science Prize<\/em><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Jean Bricmont (Belgium)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Internationally cited theoretical physicist and philosopher of science, Professor at the Catholic University of Louvain, author\/co-author of several books including <em>Fashionable Nonsense<\/em> and <em>Humanitarian Imperialism<\/em><\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Dieudonn\u00e9 (France)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Internationally recognized Artist and Stand-up Comedian, author of more than 25 one-man shows, recipient of the Grand Prix de l\u2019Humour Noir (2000) for his contribution to satirical comedy<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Hamid Algar (USA)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Professor\u00a0Emeritus\u00a0of Persian studies at the\u00a0<em>University of California, Berkeley,<\/em> <em>King Faisal Prize <\/em>laureate<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Oya Baydar (Turkey)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iconic Novelist and Sociologist who spent years in political exile after the 1980 Turkish coup d\u2019\u00e9tat, later she returned and continued her literary career.
