D. INTERNATIONAL VIOLENCE, CITIZEN RESPONSIBILITY
The North Carolina Green Party supports the peaceful resolution of conflicts at home and abroad by democratic means.
We believe that our government should fully fund and support the United Nations by aligning its foreign relations and diplomacy with the policies of that international body.
Our government should act to prevent conflict by taking the lead in correcting gross inequalities of wealth, fighting epidemic disease, protecting the global environment, and supporting U.N. peacekeeping efforts around the world.
Since the end of the Cold War, U.S. foreign policy has not, on the whole, pursued these aims.
The current "War on Terror," the unprovoked attack on another country, the pursuit of a policy of "democratic nationbuilding," and the government's deceit about its policies have both worsened the threat of terror and undermined democratic process.
The North Carolina Green Party opposes these policies and stands for increased citizen awareness and involvement in reorienting U.S. foreign policy and in opposing the militarism, the suppression of the truth, and suspension of due process in the pursuit of that policy.
