Never to forget:
1999-2019 Belgrade declaration

Participants of the Conference expressed their strong support to,
and solidarity with efforts Serbia invests in remedying the grave and
lasting consequences of the aggression and to her striving to prevent
the continuation of NATO aggression by other means. They explicitly
supported Serbia’s efforts to preserve own sovereignty and territorial
integrity and her contribution to resolve the future status of Kosovo
and Metohija, which will be in line with international law and Reso-
lution 1244 of the UN Security Council. They denounced the policy of
coercion, pressures, and unilateral steps.
The aggressors’ responsibility for the committed crimes and the
inflicted damage cannot be either justified or diminished. Serbia is
entitled to seek indemnification, and legal and criminal culpability of
NATO leaders and the responsible members. Demand was made to
immediately prosecute all those responsible for the crimes against the
Serbian nation, and in particular for the case of illicit trafficking in
human organs harvested from the abducted Serbs, in accordance with
the Report of Disk Marty and relevant decision of the Parliamentary
Assembly of the Council of Europe.
The aggression of 1999 against Serbia (the Federal Republic of Yugo-
slavia) and its other more recent military interventions have trans-
formed NATO into an openly offensive military alliance, which is re-
sponsible for the present-day Balkans and Europe being more discord-
ant and volatile, for militarization of Europe and of international rela-
tions, for reaching the lowest point of distrust and confrontation since
the Cold War, and for the thoroughly shaken the global security order.
NATO is but a tool of the military industry complex and the largest
capital domination, rather than a tool of peace, peoples’ needs, and
progress. This is why NATO, a Cold War relic, should be dissolved and
foreign military camps abolished, including military base Bondsteele
in the Serbian Province of Kosovo and Metohija.
Participants of the Conference held that the world was going
through period of growing distrust, tensions, and threats of new inter-
ventions and conflicts. The root causes are the aggressiveness of NATO
and of alienated power centres, whose interests benefit from violations
of fundamental principles of the international law, escalation of threats,
renewed arms race, and militarization of international relations.
The participants have condemned all method of abuse of inter-
national institutions such as: United Nations, OSCE, UNESCO, WTO
and others, demanding their improvement and strengthening, not
weakening and bypassed.
The policy of domination based on military might, typical of uni-
polar world order, was rejected as unacceptable because being found-
ed on privileges and self-proclaimed excellence and not on equality of
all countries and nations. Multi-polarisation excludes dominance and
opens window for democratisation of international affairs. The Con-
ference sent an appeal to all peaceful forces in the world to join forces
in the struggle for the observance of the international law as based on
the UN Charter, for reinforced role of the United Nations and other
universal international organisations.
Participants of the Conference unanimously demanded to urgently
put an end to a new arms race and violation of relevant international
agreements, and to redirect the funds from the military budgets into
the domains of economic development, improving quality of people’s
life, and eliminating the disheartening developmental and social di-
vergences. They expressed profound concern provoked by unilateral
USA withdrawal of the valid international agreements particularly of
Intermediate range Nuclear Force Treaty (INF). They demanded for
full respect of the existing agreements, and renewal of negotiations on
stopping arm race, particularly nuclear. They demand full withdrawal
of the US tactical nuclear weapons and missile defense assets from
Europe that are worsening of the security on the European continent.
It was held that the imperialism system with its insatiable greed
for someone else’s wealth, and unipolar order based on the strategy
of exceptionality, dominance and NATO interventionism, are the key
sources of instability, distrust, and conflicts. Peace, stability, democ-
racy, inclusive progress, require radical changes in global relations,
observance of sovereign equality, non-interference, multiculturalism,
common interests, and exclusion of any egotism, protectionism, and
privileges.
A statement was made that the imperialistic system, with its in-
herent insatiable greediness for other nations’ riches, and the unipolar
order based on the strategy of exceptionalism and dominance, and
NATO interventionism, are the key sources of instability, distrust, and
conflicts. Peace, democracy, and progress require radical changed in
global relations, observance of sovereign equality, non-interference,
and multiculturalism. Stability, peace, and inclusive progress require
observance of common interests, partnership, and exclusion of any
egotism, protectionism, and privileges. Policy of confrontation, inter-
ventionism, and interference in the internal affairs, prompted by the
military industry complex and big financial capital must give way to
dialogue, partnership, observance of the basic norms of international
law and international order, which are based on the common interests
and mutual respect.
Participants of the Conference committed to peaceful political
solution of all international problems, under observance of principles
of international law, the UN Charter, and the decisions of the UN Sec-
urity Council.
