The Nobel Peace Prize, Rigoberta Menchu Tum, has condemned the US President's decission of declaring the war against Iraq, labelling it as the threshold of an announced genocide. Just after having added her voice to the one of milliones of protesters in many capitals in the world, just after having visited dozens of schools in the US, talking to youngsters and children of that country, and having had many conversations with presidents, Rigoberta Menchu claimed respect towards the multilateral institutionality. The Nobel Peace Prize also warned that any unilateral declaration of hostilities constitutes not only a flagrant violation of the international legal system, but too a crime against the Iraqi people. Menchu expressed that the US declaration of war is an attack on humanity, which has set itself as the only global superpower that can oppose its moral weapons to stop the millions of bombs that are just to fall upon defenseless women and children and the iraqi people. This is the most senseless and unlegitimate war of many in contemporary history, not just because of the invalidity of the arguments that pretend its justification, but for its violation of the law and democratic consensus of peoples and governments from the whole world. The bombardments with which began its agression on Iraq many weeks ago put the US, its highest dignataries and its allies on trial. The United Nations must not only defend its own field, humilliated by the US government's arbitrariness and prepotence, but has to take concrete measures to translate the universal condemnation into moral and political sanctions. The United Nations can't play again the firemen rol in which it has been reduced due to the point of no return of Mr. Bush's mistakes. With the honest concience and the ethical voice with which the peoples of the world have vetoed the Northamerican president, Rigoberta Menchu called on no rest until achieving history sanctioning Mr. Bush's despotism. Finally, the Guatemalan indigineous leader invited peoples of the world to keep and strengthen their unity and movilization to oppose the New Imperial Disorder with a new order of harmony, understanding and intercultural respect, founded on the sacred dignity of all human beings and of all peoples; and the democratic governments of the world, to keep this tiranny in political and diplomatic isolation that safeguards the life and the integrity of the planet.
