After two years of dedication, we are excited to officially announce the launch of the International People’s Tribunal on U.S. Imperialism: Sanctions, Blockades, and Economic Coercive Measures. This project is a first-ever international effort to build systems of accountability—rooted in global cross-movement solidarity—both within and outside of the law, to challenge the violence of imperialism through sanctions. With an impressive group of internationally renowned jurists from across the world, we interrogate sanctions not from the perspective of those who enforce them, but from the perspective of those most impacted by them, namely the peoples of Asia, Africa, and South America. This half-day event took place on January 28, 2023, at People’s Forum located at 320 W 37th St, New York, NY 10018, by an international coalition of over 30 organizations. 

The Tribunal will last for approximately six months and will conclude with a closing event hosted by the Simón Bolívar Institute in Caracas, Venezuela in July 2023. The launch event will feature a distinguished group of jurists, scholars, and activists, including: Nina Farnia, Co-chair of the Tribunal Steering Committee & Professor of Law, Albany Law School; Niloufer Bhagwat, Confederation of Lawyers of Asia and the Pacific;  Brian Becker, ANSWER Coalition.

From Tarak of Peace & Planet News: I hope you don’t miss this current issue of Peace & Planet News. Visit Peace & Planet News to access a lot of great writing, music and poetry. You can even read the entire paper here, but there is something special about a hard-copy, fiercely independent newspaper people can hold in their hands. This issue which includes the entirety of Martin Luther King’s “Beyond Vietnam” speech is especially important to get out to the public.

The Golden Rule Has Arrived in Cuba! The Golden Rule anti-nuclear sailboat, crewed by U.S. veterans and friends, has successfully completed a historic voyage to Cuba. The 34-foot wooden ketch, which in 1958 was sailed toward the Marshall Islands to interfere with U.S .nuclear testing, is owned by Veterans For Peace, and carries out an important part of its mission, “to end the arms race and to reduce and eventually eliminate nuclear weapons.”  Five crew sailed the Golden Rule from Key West, Florida, and, after 22 hours at sea, arrived at Havana’s Marina Hemingway on December 31, just in time to celebrate New Year’s and the 62nd anniversary of the Cuban Revolution.
