House of Latin America- HOLA, an NGO in Iran acting in solidarity and defense of the peoples of Latin America, has initiated the following Appeal. We call on social justice forces around the world to mobilize to come to the defense of the people of Iran in this urgent hour of U.S. escalating threats and continuing sanctions. Whereas, the escalating sanctions and threats of military intervention against Iran are intended to deprive the Iranian people of their internationally recognized right to live as an independent and free nation; Whereas, the sanctions and threats are clear violations of Article 2 of the UN Charter, according to which member states must "refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state"; Whereas, the United States is unequivocally obligated under the bilateral 1981 Algiers Treaty to refrain from interfering in the internal affairs of Iran; Whereas. sanctions often pave the way to war; Whereas, Iran, as a signatory of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, has an “inalienable right” to develop and use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes; Whereas, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency, there is no evidence to back up the charge that Iran is "planning to produce nuclear weapons"; Whereas, the hegemonic lobbies that portray Iran as a threat to peace today also lied about imaginary weapons of mass destruction in Iraq to convince the public that war was necessary; The people of the world cannot accept such a crime against humanity to be repeated. Therefore, we urge all people who stand for justice, peace, sovereignty and self determination to join this campaign and raise their voice to demand: - Lift economic sanctions against Iran. - Recognize the right of Iran to develop and use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. - Stop military threats against Iran.

La Casa de América Latina-HOLA, organización no gubernamental de Irán que actúa en solidaridad y defensa de los pueblos de América Latina, ha puesto en marcha la siguiente Campaña. Hacemos un llamado a las fuerzas amantes de la justicia social en todo el mundo a movilizarse en defensa del pueblo de Irán en este momento apremiante en el que se está llevando a cabo una escalada de las amenazas y sanciones de los EE.UU. Considerando que la escalada de las sanciones y las amenazas de intervención militar contra Irán tienen por objetivo privar al pueblo iraní de su derecho internacionalmente reconocido a vivir como una nación independiente y soberana. Considerando que, las sanciones y las amenazas son violaciones claras del Artículo 2 de la Carta de las Naciones Unidas, según el cual los Estados miembros deben "abstenerse en sus relaciones internacionales de la amenaza o el uso de la fuerza contra la integridad territorial o la independencia política de cualquier Estado". Considerando que los Estados Unidos está inequívocamente obligado en virtud del tratado bilateral de Argel de 1981 a abstenerse de interferir en los asuntos internos de Irán. Considerando que las sanciones frecuentemente allanan el camino de la guerra. Considerando que, Irán, como signatario del Tratado de No Proliferación Nuclear, tiene el "derecho inalienable" de desarrollar y utilizar la tecnología nuclear con fines pacíficos. Considerando que, de acuerdo con el Organismo Internacional de Energía Atómica, no hay evidencia para respaldar la acusación de que Irán está "planeando producir armas nucleares". Considerando que, los grupos de presión hegemónica que describen a Irán como una amenaza a la paz hoy día, también mintieron sobre las imaginarias armas de destrucción masiva en poder de Iraq para convencer a la opinión pública de que la guerra era necesaria. Los pueblos del mundo no pueden aceptar que se repita otro crimen de lesa humanidad. Por lo tanto, instamos a todos los pueblos que defienden la justicia, la paz, la soberanía y la autodeterminación a unirse a esta campaña y elevar su voz para demandar: - El Levantamiento de las sanciones económicas contra Irán. - El reconocimiento del derecho de Irán a desarrollar y utilizar la energía nuclear con fines pacíficos. -Detener las amenazas militares contra Irán.
