The Peace Party notes that Antonio Guterres, the UN Secretary General has sent out the following appeals:

“As the Middle East crisis has lurched into its second month, my message is clear.

To the United States and Israel:

It is high time to stop the war that is inflicting immense human suffering and already triggering devastating economic consequences.

To Iran:

Stop attacking your neighbours.

The Security Council has condemned these attacks and reaffirmed the need to respect navigational rights and freedoms along critical maritime routes, including the Strait of Hormuz.

Conflicts do not end on their own.

They end when leaders choose dialogue over destruction.

That choice still exists.

And it must be made now.”

The Peace Party expects that those three nations will respect the humanitarian appeals made with utmost haste.
