Schiller Institute Releases Names of 60 Prominent International Endorsers of Helga Zepp-LaRouche Declaration: No to European Rearmament! Yes to a New Global Security Architecture! The world map above explained. The center of the map is looking down on the North Pole and the spherical world is

unfolded from there. To the right are North and South America.

To the left are Asia and Australia. The orange lines is a global network of railways and highways proposed by Lyndon LaRouche in the 1970s and promoted by Helga Zepp-LaRouche and the Schiller Institute today for world peace and prosperity.

The Schiller Institute today released a list of 60 names of prominent individuals from 20 countries who have endorsed the March 8, 2025 call from the Institute’s founder, Helga Zepp-LaRouche, “Instead of Rearming for the Great War, We Need to Create a Global Security Architecture!” It is being issued at a time when Europe is at an historic crossroads, where a difference alternative must be urgently put on the table if a catastrophe is to be avoided.

The statement begins, “The European Union (EU) and most European governments are in the grips of a war hysteria that can only be compared to the warmongering madness that broke out before World War One.”

It concludes, “Europe has reacted to Trump’s sudden signals for an end to the Ukraine war and a resumption of diplomacy with Russia with great panic – and cries for war. But there is still time to currect this potentially fatal course. If Europe wants to overcome its current economic misery, the way out lies in cooperation with the nations of the Global South, which has long since become the Global Majority.

“Humanity has reached the point where it must overcome the old patterns of thought steeped in geopolitics and the Cold War, and replace them with a new global security and development

architecture that takes into account the interests of all nations on this planet. A positive example for this is provided by the Peace of Westphalia, which came about because the warring parties came to the conclusion that if the war continued, no one would be able to enjoy victory, since there would be no survivors. How much more convincing this argument is in times of thermonuclear weapons which, if used, would lead to the extinction of all mankind!”

For the full text of the statement, which has been endorsed by many others worldwide, see Instead of Rearming for the Great War, We Need to Create a Global Security Architecture! The text includes a link for new endorsements, and the Schiller Institute urges all individuals in agreement with the statement to add their names, and circulate the statement as widely as possible.
