28일 세계노총이 성명을 통해 <5대륙 133개국 1.05억 노동자를 대표하는 세계노총은 29일과 30일 개최되는 나토정상회담에 대해 제국주의국가와 그동맹들의 이익에 복종하는 침략전쟁무기들을 배치시키는 나토의 존재 그자체를 무조건적으로 강력하게 규탄한다>고 발표했다.

성명은 <전세계 민중은 나토의 피비린내나는 목적이 제국주의동맹을 유지하고, 가능하면 확장하며 나토군대가 초국적독점자본의 이익을 보호하기 위한 명령에 따라 더욱 연합하는데 있음을 알고 있다>라며 <세계평화는 극우민족주의자나 파시스트의 사상을 옹호하거나 군사화하는 것으로 지켜지는 것이 아니다. 경제제재나 경제전쟁으로도 세계평화는 지켜지지 않는다.>고 지적했다.

그러면서 <평화와 자유의 입장에 선 사람이라면 나토해체와 모든 군사동맹・전략자산의 해체를 위해 싸우고, 미제와 그동맹국가의 이익에 복종하기 보다 매개 국가의 자주와 독립을 존중한다>라며 <세계노총은 군비지출은 곧 민중의 근본적인 권리, 존엄 있게 살 권리를 침해하는 결과를 낳으며, 따라서 세계를 불안정하게하는 나토가 무조건 즉각 해체할 것을 요구한다>고 밝혔다.

WFTU statement on the 2022 NATO summit
The World Federation of Trade Unions, representing more than 105 million workers from 133 countries on the 5 continents, in view of the 2022 NATO summit on 29-30 June in Madrid, strongly and unequivocally condemns the existence of NATO that constitutes an aggressive war machine in the service of the interests of the imperialist countries of the alliance.
We denounce the provocative lies and official narratives of NATO that the goal of the alliance is to ”keep its one billion people safe”. The peoples all over the world know that the bloody mission of this imperialist alliance is to maintain, and expand if possible, the existing favourable correlation of forces for the NATO countries in order to safeguard the profits of their monopolies. In the imperialist system which is characterized by uneven interdependencies that govern the relations between all the capitalist states, both the peoples of the member-states of NATO and the other counties’ peoples have nothing to expect from the imperialist alliances and wars except death, suffering, poverty, and misery.
We denounce the exclusions, discriminations, embargoes, and sanctions imposed by the US, NATO, and the EU against various countries, as they negatively impact the standard of living of low-income families, workers, poor small farmers, and popular strata in general.
We denounce the hypocritic “concern” of leaders of the USA, EU, and NATO, who shamelessly invoke International Law and the defense of freedom when they speak about the Russian invasion of Ukraine. They speak as if human history began in February 2022, they falsify historical reality, confirming that truth is always one of the first victims of war. NATO invoke peace, self-determination, territorial integrity, international law, democracy, and human rights, while they are the first who wage wars killing ”whatever their peace has left over”. They are the first who intervene in the internal affairs of other states, change borders, and violate international law and human rights in order to broaden their spheres of influence and serve their geostrategic plans.
Those who are responsible for countless invasions and interventions are primarily responsible for the militarization of international relations, as they insist on maintaining and expanding NATO within the context of a New World Order.
World peace cannot be protected through militarization or through the patronage of all kinds of extreme right-wing nationalist and fascist ideologies. World peace cannot be based on sanctions and economic wars. Those who, as a matter of principle, stand for peace and freedom, fight for the dissolution of NATO and all military coalitions, the dismantling of nuclear weapons, the respect for the independence and sovereignty of all countries, rather than only those which align with, and serve the interests of the United States and their allies.
The World Federation of Trade Unions firmly believes military spending deprives people of the fundamental right to live with dignity and that NATO destabilizing the world and demand unconditional and urgent dissolutions of NATO. The WFTU calls upon the workers all over the world to fight against imperialist wars and the system that creates them, to struggle for world peace and the solidarity among the peoples, to oppose the waste of resources and money for military purposes, to demand the dismantling of nuclear weapons and the immediate dissolution of NATO.
