After Canadian Police Raid Homes, Six Peace Activists Face Charges

December 2, 2025 Pierre Lajeunesse, World Socialist Web Site. , , , , , ,
London, Ontario police carried out coordinated pre-dawn raids on November 25 against four homes across southern Ontario, targeting members of the anti-war and Palestinian-solidarity group World Beyond War (WBW). The raids bring to six the number of peace activists charged in relation to a protest of more than 100 people against the Best Defence Conference in London at the end of October, an arms-industry gathering attended by Israeli-linked weapons manufacturers and Canadian military officials. The sweeping operation saw officers burst into homes at 6 a.m., frighten children, seize personal electronic devices and haul activists hours away from their communities.

‘Peace Is / Peace is Not’ Campaign

November 11, 2025 Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. , , ,
In 2025, “peace” has been reduced to a political buzzword. President Trump aspires to be seen as a peacemaker—boasting about ending wars—yet his administration continues enabling and waging aggressive military campaigns in Gaza, Iran, and beyond, while repressing dissent at home. Despite this, countries such as Israel and Pakistan have stated their intentions to nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize. This dangerous framing narrows peace to mean a pause in fighting or a shift in military power, ignoring the deeper truth that peace requires justice, dignity, and human security.

Hamas Hands Over All Living Israeli Captives

October 13, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
All living Israeli captives were released by Hamas on 13 October and have returned to Israel as part of the ceasefire agreement’s exchange formula. The 20 living captives were handed over to the Red Cross before being returned to Israel by the Israeli military.  The Israeli army confirmed the final 13 captives were handed over, after initially receiving seven. The captives have been taken to hospitals for checkups and to meet their family members. The coming hours will also see the resistance release the bodies of deceased Israeli captives. Meanwhile, Israel is releasing a total of 1,966 Palestinian prisoners. Buses carrying prisoners have already begun departing from Israel’s Ofer prison in the occupied West Bank, with some having arrived in Ramallah – one of the drop-off points. 

Trump’s Sham Peace Plan

October 12, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , , ,
There is no shortage of failed peace plans in occupied Palestine, all of them incorporating detailed phases and timelines, going back to the presidency of Jimmy Carter. They end the same way. Israel gets what it wants initially — in the latest case the release of the remaining Israeli hostages — while it ignores and violates every other phase until it resumes its attacks on the Palestinian people. It is a sadistic game. A merry-go-round of death. This ceasefire, like those of the past, is a commercial break. A moment when the condemned man is allowed to smoke a cigarette before being gunned down in a fusillade of bullets. Once Israeli hostages are released, the genocide will continue. I do not know how soon.

The Most Urgent Priority Is To Create A New International Order

September 28, 2025 Bruno Rodriguez, Resumen English. , , , , ,
As we deliberate here, 2.2 million human beings in Gaza are condemned to starvation by the actions of genocide, extermination, and ethnic cleansing carried out by the Zionist regime, which has the military and financial supplies and impunity guaranteed by the United States government. On behalf of the government and people of Cuba, I reiterate our strongest solidarity with the Palestinian people and their just cause for freedom, independence, and an end to the Zionist occupation. If the Security Council proves powerless due to the veto that the United States exercises or threatens to exercise, and is unable to take effective measures to stop the barbarism, this General Assembly has the duty and the capacity to promote concrete measures without delay.

Global Days Of Action To Build A Culture Of Peace In The Midst Of Violence

September 15, 2025 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. , , , ,
From September 21 (International Peace Day) to October 2 (International Day of Nonviolence), there will be more than five thousand nonviolent actions happening around the world coordinated by Campaign Nonviolence. The focus this year is promoting nonviolence toward self, others, world and earth. Clearing the FOG speaks with author and activist Rivera Sun, who assists in organizing the actions, about the many types of violence people experience every day and how to move from a culture steeped in war to one of peace. Sun discusses the power of nonviolence, the growing interest in how to practice it and the global shift that is occurring to build a more peaceful society. 

USA Can Only Regain Strength If It Understands Why It Lost It

September 8, 2025 Bharat Dogra, Countercurrents. , , ,
The USA is a country well- endowed with natural resources and strategically suited geographical location. In the 20th century history too was on its side as a number of factors added to its strengths and, overcoming the setback of the great depression, after the end of the Second World War the USA emerged as the most powerful country in the world with its great military power supported by wider military alliances and above all its currency having worldwide acceptance. Subsequently the USA added very substantially to its military strengths and even after unilaterally moving away from the gold standard the international acceptance of its currency was retained. Its glory appeared to be complete with the disintegration of the Soviet Union around 1990.

Kathmandu Declaration Of The IADL

September 4, 2025 International Association of Democratic Lawyers. , , , ,
The 19th Congress of the International Association of Democratic Lawyers (IADL) held in Kathmandu on the theme: “The Role of Democratic Lawyers in Promoting and Defending Peoples’ Rights, Peace and International Law in the Face of Fascism, Genocide, Militarization and Wars of Aggression” has been a vibrant forum for lawyers and jurists from around the world to come together in mutual understanding and collective work towards full implementation of the principles of the United Nations Charter. Together we reaffirm our commitment to work for a world with peace; without wars, conflicts, oppression or repression, poverty and hunger; and with full respect for justice, equality and human dignity. We reiterate our support for the creation of a just international economic order based on the interest of the whole people and not of the few.

People’s Summit For Korea Spotlights Role Of US Imperialism

August 9, 2025 Joe Piette, Workers World. , , ,
The Summit was organized by Nodutdol and convened by a list of other Korean and U.S.-based groups, including United National Antiwar Coalition (UNAC). Nodutdol describes itself as “an organization of diasporic Koreans and comrades organizing for a world free of imperialism and for Korea’s reunification and national liberation.” With the Summit, Nodutdol — with a majority of members below 30 years of age — galvanized the Korean movement in the U.S. in an anti-imperialist direction. By changing the fulcrum point of its movement from the start of the Korean war in 1950 back to 1945, when U.S. imperialists replaced Japanese imperialists, Nodutdol opened up a whole new range of understanding of the struggle for an independent and united Korea. It’s not just an anti-war struggle but a systemic fight between two class systems.

Why Ouster Of US Occupation Forces From West Asia Is Key To Lasting Peace

July 26, 2025 Alireza Salehi, Workers' World. , , ,
Since entering politics, former real estate tycoon and reality TV star Donald Trump has made a conscious effort to cultivate the image of himself as a peacemaker. He often boasts of avoiding major wars, takes credit for de-escalating global tensions and has even audaciously claimed that he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize! His 2024 campaign mantra, “ending endless wars,” struck a chord with a U.S. public weary of entanglements in West Asia. Yet, this carefully crafted image proved to be a mirage. Far from extinguishing flames, Trump poured gasoline on simmering conflicts.

Peace And Development Are Better Than Austerity And War

July 18, 2025 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. , , , ,
Reason seems to have been gradually abolished by the language of bombs. As weapons systems get ‘smarter’ and ‘smarter’, the range of diplomatic instruments used by the Global North states becomes blunter and blunter. US and European diplomats have returned to the old colonial habit of speaking loudly and brusquely, lecturing the natives about what they should or should not do while they themselves do whatever they want. If the natives do not agree, then the old colonial rulers simply threaten to cut off their hands or bomb their homes.

Hungary Refuses To Finance US Weapons For Ukraine

July 15, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said on 14 July that Hungary will not participate in financing US weapons for Ukraine, even if Washington formally proposes the initiative to the EU. “I would like to emphasize that Hungarian money, Hungarian weapons, and Hungarian soldiers will not be sent to Ukraine.  Nothing will be sent there,” Szijjártó stated during a press conference in Budapest following a meeting with Moroccan Minister of Industry and Trade Ryad Mezzour. Despite this, he expressed support for US President Donald Trump’s so-called peace efforts, stating: “No one has done as much for peace in Ukraine as Trump.” 

China, Russia Vow Coordination To Promote Peace In West Asia

July 10, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told his Russian counterpart on 10 July that Beijing and Moscow should strengthen strategic coordination to promote peace in West Asia. According to a statement by China's Foreign Ministry, Yi said the two countries should push for a diplomatic solution to the Iran nuclear issue during a meeting with Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Kuala Lumpur. “Peace cannot be achieved through force, and applying pressure won't solve problems.” Dialogue and negotiations were the solution to the conflict, Yi added. The two foreign ministers also discussed China–Russia coordination with the countries comprising the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

The People Want Peace And Progress, Not War And Waste

June 13, 2025 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. , , ,
On 24 and 25 June, the members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) will strut around the streets of The Hague for their annual summit – the first since Donald Trump’s return to the US presidency and the first under new NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. On 13 March, Rutte visited Trump in the Oval Office, where he praised the US president on a number of fronts, including the war in Ukraine. Rutte ended the meeting by telling Trump that he was looking forward to hosting him in The Hague, his ‘hometown’, and was eager to ‘work together to ensure that [the NATO summit] will be a splash, a real success projecting American power on the world stage’.

United States-Russia Citizen’s Summit

June 10, 2025 Scott Ritter, Consortium News. , , ,
We live in dangerous times. Now is the time for the people of the United States and Russia to set the example of how civil discourse and dialogue can pave the way for peace between our two nations. On June 18, Americans and Russians from all walks of life will come together to engage in an act of “people’s diplomacy.” Whether seated in a theater in beautiful Saint Petersburg, or in the historic Mohican Hotel in downtown Kingston, New York, the participants will be doing what we collectively can only hope our respective leadership will do — engage their citizen counterparts in constructive dialogue which seeks to better relations between their two nations.
