Move United Nations Headquarters to Geneva!

John Sigler | 25.03.2003 03:23

We've started a global citizen campaign calling for the United Nations to relocate its headquarters to Geneva until the United States expresses a willingness to abide by its obligations under the United Nations Charter and in protest to the illegal aggression against Iraq.

Please visit the campaign website at  http://moveunhq.eccmei.net

If you like what we're doing, please sign the statement as a petition and forward the URL on your list and to other interested parties and encourage others to spread the word and URL as well. It will require an enormous number of signitures for this project to work, but it only takes a minute. Translators willing to translate the appeal into other languages are also being actively sought.

Thank you,

League of Nations

The forerunner of the UN was the League of Nations, based in Geneva. The US was not a member. As a consequence, it was almost completely ineffective. A UN without the world's largest economy and the world's most effective military would not be much use. It would also give the US a perfect excuse to ignore any UN resolutions completely. If it was not a member, it would not be bound by any of its resolutions.

Not sure Geneva is the place

Not sure Switzerland is the place after hearing the latest that Switzerland just gave US back all the oil money in escrow for Saddam (not sure the details). Also history of Switzerland and Jewish money confiscated by Nazis makes me wonder how neutral they reallyare

But it certainly needs to move out of NYC
