Try GOLD - Free The Island | April 11, 2026 Sri Lanka's policy of neutrality in the ongoing Middle East conflict reflects both principle and pragmatism, while positioning the country to play a wider diplomatic role, the Asian Geopolitics Sustainability and Peace Council has said in a statement. - In the statement signed by Prof Mohan Munasinghe and Sugiswara Senadheera, the Council noted that Sri Lanka has maintained a firm stance of nonalignment, refusing to allow its territory to be used against any state while continuing to meet humanitarian obligations. It cited an instance in which Sri Lanka declined a request from the United States to provide refuelling access for warplanes.Full text of the statement: Sri Lanka is maintaining strict neutrality in the middle east conflict, while preventing its territory from being used against any other state, and fulfilling humanitarian obligations. When one of the belligerents, the US, requested refuelling rights for its warplanes, Sri Lanka refused. When an Iranian vessel was sunk within our maritime economic zone, it was the small Sri Lankan navy which rescued a large number of sailors and brought them for treatment in our hospitals. This is not a passive stance; it is both principled and pragmatic, while building the foundation for further potential diplomatic initiativesSri Lanka’s demonstrated neutrality presents an opportunity. Instead of being merely a bystander to great power rivalry, Sri Lanka could revive its historic diplomatic tradition and help mobilise a coalition of neutral nations from the Global South to push for peace.

Peace for Iran: Declaration of Global Conscience - Countercurrents
Prefatory Note: Two Texts evant to Ongoing US/Israel War Against Iran in the context of a failing Ceaefire Agreement. Iran’s Conditions and Declaration of Global Conscience signed and individually affirmed by listed non-Iranians.] “Six Non‑Negotiable Terms from international Scholars and Former Officials from 30 countries to End the U.S. War on Iran Amid Trump’s Threat of War Crimes” The conscience of humanity resists “everything for us, nothing for others,” the creed of the predatory empire erected on the corpses of nations. The shameless rapacity and insolence have reached their zenith, and Trump’s threats illustrate the depraved spirit of a decaying civilisation. We must not be passive witnesses, but active architects of a new world where arrogance crumbles and righteousness prevails. A large transnational group of prominent voices—including former UN officials, Retired career diplomats, former ministers, scholars and intellectuals, political figures and former parliamentarians, military and security professionals, artists, lawyers as well as journalists, activists, and antiwar leaders, from 30 countries—has released an open letter sharply criticising the global role of the United States and calling for a new international order centered on sovereignty and resistance to what they describe as Western domination. Most of the signatories are from Western countries, alongside participants from Asia, Latin America, and Africa. The declaration, titled “A Declaration to the Conscience of Humanity,” was signed by over 170 signatories from countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, France, Portugal, Belgium, Italy, Scotland, Ireland, Australia, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Sweden, Serbia, Poland, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Lithuania, Russia, China, Malaysia, India, Brazil, Venezuela, Argentina, Mexico, South Africa, Lebanon, Turkey, and Iran. In this fact-based public letter, the authors deliver a sweeping critique of American foreign policy and historical conduct. The letter states that for “249 years—spanning the entirety of its existence since 1776—the United States built a record of atrocity that belonged to a darker, pre-civilised age,” describing the country as “a predatory empire erected on the corpses of nations.” The signatories, including current and former professors affiliated with 52 universities and academic institutions worldwide, accuse Washington of maintaining global military dominance through an extensive o...
