Dear
peace friends in the Baltic Sea region
In 2018
your organisation/movement signed an appeal against the militarization of the
Baltic Sea region.
The
intention was to arrange follow-up meetings/seminars in different places but
then the Corona pandemic broke out and the plans had to be
postponed.
However
co-operation has been going on in different smaller circles and hopefully we can
soon come up with some plans for personal meetings for those interested in
stronger cooperation to influence the situation in the Baltic Sea region that
has been even more militarized since 2018.
Women
for Peace in Finland published in 2017 a document about the Baltic Sea
Militarization which is now updated and attached to this mail as
pdf.
It is
very far from perfect but it shows that we have a lot to do if we want to turn
the Baltic Sea into a Sea of peace - a more peaceful region based on
negotiations, cooperation, demilitarization and respect for people and the
environment.
We will
keep you informed about the plans for meetings/seminars.
Best
regards
Ulla
Klötzer and Lea Launokari - Women for Peace - Finland
