Mouvement de la Paix utterly condemns the horrible terrorist attacks which struck at London's heart. We salute the victims and send our warmest sympathy to their relatives and to all the people injured. We express all our solidarity and friendship to the British People.

Mouvement de la Paix fully joins Great Britain's Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and states that: "Violence and killing cannot solve the world's problems, whether perpetrated by state or non-state actors. They only bring untold suffering to innocent people. We urge all peoples, (...), to unite to follow the path of peace and justice.”

The first reactions of the Great Powers leaders are worrying. It is not further militarizing the world and our societies that the human beings will be more secure. This old policy of force shows every day its tragic failure: while preparing war, it is not peace which is coming, but war.

As the G8 Summit has opened, the Great Powers can and have to take their responsibilities in the face of History. Human security, the right for all human beings to live decently, as it has been decided by the UN in the Millenium Goals, is ready to hand: the military expenditures have just exceeded 1000 billion dollars. Less than 20% of this budget could guarantee all human beings their fundamental rights.

A world more just, more respectful of human rights and international law is the fundamental answer to what constitutes a source of recruitment to fanatics and fascists. The G8 should consider this.
