Is the Green Party for NATO or against NATO?

We thought we’d ask experts from the Global Majority.

Animah Kosai of the Global Majority Greens hosts Chandran Nair and Tariq Rauf to find out their views on whether NATO forces peace or perpetuates war in the broader global context.

The speakers will discuss:

• NATO’s expansion beyond its mandate and how that looks to countries outside the West.
• How does NATO impact nuclear disarmament globally?
• Does NATO perpetuate war or force peace?
• How does NATO impact the wellbeing of people and planet, which are core Green values.
