We understand the preoccupation of the organizations putting forward this resolution. We have to protect the security of citizens when lives are at danger and the terrifying behavior of the Russian executive sadly calls for new approaches.
Having said this, our organization is vehemently opposed to relying on NATO. It goes without question that this organization has committed terrible war crimes in the past. We would be shocked when our federation supports such an organization. Besides, we believe that measuring the financial contribution to NATO by the GDP is misleading, since this indicator is not sustainable and does not take into account care-work, among a lot of other things.
Our amendments are meant to be a compromise because we are proposing a solution to the security issue, even though Les Jeunes Écologistes are a pacifist organization. In order to take into account the preoccupations manifest in the original resolution R3, we therefore propose to support an European Defense Mechanism.
Resolution: | 2% of GDP towards a safer Europe |
