One minute with Iranian Nobel Peace Laureate Shirin Ebadi

Position Statement:

• No military attack on Iran – “even if” Iran sent some weapons into Iraq, or some day in the future decided to build a nuclear weapon, that does not justify a military attack.

• We should demand a Congressional “Boland Amendment” for Iran to preempt any funding for any attack on Iran.  None of the current resolutions provide an absolute prohibition, but any of them could emerge as more politically powerful than their actual language requires.

• There must be diplomatic, not military engagement with Iran.  Iran is not a threat to the U.S., so any attack would represent a preventive war, illegal in international law.

• We need to build people-to-people ties between Americans and Iranians, including work with the Iranian community in the United States. We must fight against the demonization that has historically allowed U.S. policy to impose crippling economic sanctions against the people of countries whose governments Washington opposes.

• In the long-term, we should support calls that have come from the Middle East for more than a quarter of a century to create a WMD-free or Nuclear Weapons-Free Zone throughout the Middle East, including an end to Israel’s nuclear arsenal and a prohibition against U.S. nuclear-armed submarines or other nuclear weapons in the area. We should demand that the U.S. implement its own 1991 call for a WMD-free zone, found in Article 14 of UN Security Council resolution 687 that ended the 1991 Gulf War.
