Take a Stand; Dismantle the War Machine; Demilitarize the World!

Summary: To stop the war racketeers profiting from wars and to void their ‘license to mass murder,' we the undersigned call on you, the world community, parents, writers, poets, artists, farmers, workers, academics, professionals and all other concerned individuals to rise up and take a stand against the insanity of militarism forced on your community.

Take control of your destiny. Help bring about an end to the manufacture and sales of weapons in your country and the world. Redirect your national income from feeding the war machine to provide food, shelter, health, education and harmony for all.

Remember: Without your consent, explicit or implied, the wheels of the military machine would come to a grinding halt. Please sign the petition: Click Here  

Demand an Immediate International Criminal Tribunal for Israel

Summary: The brutal bombings and invasion of Lebanon and Gaza are acts of Israeli state terrorism. The U.S. invasion and occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq, and the present US-Israeli threat to Syria and Iran indicate their ruthless struggle for hegemony in the oil-rich Middle East, which would escalate into a global war.

Action: We demand that United Nations General Assembly immediately establish an International Criminal Tribunal for Israel (ICTI) as a ‘subsidiary organ' under U.N. Charter Article 22 to prosecute the Israeli Prime Minister Olmert, Israel's Defense Minister, top generals and other war criminals for their infliction of international war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide against the Peoples of Lebanon and Palestine.

Stop Genocide against Native Peoples in Canada

Summary: Since 1890, Canadian authorities, the judiciary, doctors and the police along with the Roman Catholic, Anglican, Presbyterian and United Church of Canada implemented a policy of genocide against the native population. They have perpetrated murder, land theft, mass sterilizations, medical experiments, and sexual terrorism on native people across Canada. Government documents and eyewitnesses confirm that over 50,000 children died in the "residential schools" run by these churches until 1984, or more than 50% of the inmates of these facilities.

Action: Creating A Sustainable Future (CASF) is calling on United Nations General Assembly, International Criminal Court (ICC) and International Court of Justice (ICJ) to establish an International War Crimes Tribunal to investigate the complicity in genocide against native peoples in Canada, past and present, by Canadian government and its agencies, the multinational corporations, the Roman Catholic, Anglican, Presbyterian and United Church of Canada and other forces.

CASF urges the international community to boycott Canada, Canadian products and Canadian athletes, in Beijing 2008 and all future sporting events, until the Canadians have acknowledged and apologized for the genocide that they inflicted on millions of native men, women and children who were deliberately exterminated for their lands, brought the perpetrators to justice, restored the stolen lands and natural resources and afforded adequate compensation for the evil deeds that they have been perpetrating against the native peoples.
