Re: Resolution to be presented at the UN concerning peace negotiations for Ukraine
Bussum, the Netherlands, 21 November 2022

Your Excellency,

Greetings from all of us, various peace organizations and peace lovers from all over the world. Also from people from inside Ukraine.

We would like to draw your attention to the suffering of the people in Ukraine. We are shocked by the people dying every day in Ukraine and the threat of a nuclear war. We hope that all lives will be respected and cherished: the lives of the innocent children, the lives of all the civilians, the lives of all the soldiers. We hope that the war in Ukraine will be over soon. That peace will come and that humanitarian aid will be provided. Peace negotiations for Ukraine are needed now. The Black Sea Grain Initiative gives us hope.

Your Excellency proposed a commission for dialogue and peace for Ukraine. Thank you very much for this initiative! This is why we are addressing this letter to you. To be sure that our call reaches you and your committee, we are also sending a copy to the members you wish to include in that committee: HE Narendra Modi and Holy Father Pope Francis. In addition, we are sending a copy to the Secretary General of the United Nations, HE António Guterres.

In an interview with Professor Jeffrey Sachs of Columbia University in Share International magazine, we read that he has proposed to peace organizations to call for a resolution about peace negotiations for Ukraine for the General Assembly of the United Nations.

We strongly support this idea and call in this letter for a resolution about peace negotiations for Ukraine to be presented at the General Assembly of the United Nations. We look forward to hearing your Excellency’s opinion on this.

Hoping to see soon: A World in Which All Children Can Play.

Peace and all the best,
