".
We naturally endorse the proposals in the report aimed at
introducing and prioritising the dimension of prevention in the context of this instrument, as a key factor in reducing the risks of natural disasters, at stepping up the UN’s role in managing emergencies and helping communities, and at ensuring the protection of public health and cultural heritage.
Yet the debate on solidarity between different countries in the event of a disaster also serves to demonstrate – or rather, to show in stark relief – the appalling waste of resources of the arms race and the militarisation of international relations led by the main capitalist powers, and their ringleader the United States.
One wonders what could be achieved by channelling the colossal financial resources of militarisation and war into prevention, emergency help and immediate response, and the recovery of areas in the event of disasters.
How many lives, how much suffering, how much waste of economic, social and environmental resources could be avoided if there could be a policy of
in international relations, peaceful resolution of conflicts, disarmament and effective, mutually advantageous cooperation between different countries and people?"@en1
