DOWN WITH IMPERIALISM, DOWN WITH ZIONISM!

The attacks carried out by Israel together with the United States Of America against Iran target regional peace, international law, and the conscience of humanity. Targeting civilians and children can never be justified.

[Ali YALÇIN @_aliyalcin_]

KAHROLSUN EMPERYALİZM, KAHROLSUN SİYONİZM!

İsrail’in, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ile birlikte İran’a yönelik gerçekleştirdiği saldırılar; bölgesel barışı, uluslararası hukuku ve insanlığın ortak vicdanını hedef almaktadır. Sivillerin, yerleşim alanlarının ve eğitim kurumlarının hedef alınması hiçbir gerekçeyle izah edilemez.

Ramazan ayının manevi atmosferinde masum insanların hayatını kaybetmesi, özellikle çocukların bombalar altında can vermesi kabul edilemez bir insanlık dramıdır. Güvenlik söylemiyle yürütülen bu saldırılar, hukuki ve ahlaki meşruiyetten yoksundur.

Memur-Sen olarak; sivilleri hedef alan her türlü saldırıyı reddediyor, bölgemizi istikrarsızlaştıran müdahalelere karşı ilkesel duruşumuzu bir kez daha vurguluyoruz. Mazlumların yanında, hukukun ve adaletin safında yer almaya devam edeceğiz.

Ortadoğu’nun yeni çatışma senaryolarına sürüklenmesine izin verilmemelidir. Kalıcı barış; güç dayatmasıyla değil, adalet ve diyalogla mümkündür.

Zulüm sürdürülebilir değildir.
Adalet eninde sonunda galip gelecek, Ortadoğu’yu ateşe veren zorbalık düzeni çökecektir!

Together for a Just World: A New Vision of International Solidarity

By Ali Yalçın, President of the International Labour Confederation (ILC)

Abstract
“The global order is undergoing a profound transformation driven by economic instability, geopolitical tensions, technological change, and ecological crisis. Four decades of neoliberal restructuring have produced a structural crisis of labour, marked by deepening inequality, the erosion of collective rights, and the fragmentation of class-based solidarity. Authoritarian neoliberal governance has narrowed democratic space while expanding the global mobility of capital, intensifying precarity and exploitation, particularly in peripheral economies. In this context, existing international institutions increasingly struggle to address the structural roots of inequality. The emergence of the International Labour Confederation (ILC) within this conjuncture, represents an effort to reconstruct transnational labour solidarity through a systemic critique of global capitalism. The ILC advances an alternative vision centred on social justice, democratic participation, and a human-centred global order.”
