WORLD WAR AND TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY OF STATES

There are two concepts that we hear the most recently; territorial integrity and political sovereignty of states. It is persistently argued that international security can only be achieved by defending these two principles. These two principles emerged during the League of Nations and are the basic principles of United Nations law.

It is said that there are 208 states in the world (including the Vatican and Palestine). The political boundaries of most of these states are not compatible with the historical and social realities of the area they dominate. They are forcibly drawn and protected by force. Legitimate demands to change borders are also suppressed by force and on the grounds of these principles. The most recent examples of this were seen in the relations between Spain-Catalania and Iraq-Kurdistan. In the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, two new states declared in the east of Ukraine created an important problem.

To defend political borders that are inconsistent with historical and social truths is colonialism, occupation. It is these political borders that threaten the security of the world. Everyone and every state that regards these state borders as sacred does not defend world peace, but their own expansionism.

It is not possible to establish a just world order based on the existing state borders. In any case, neither the actors of a kind of post-modern world war going on today nor the world order they are trying to establish, there is no search for justice. All of the main actors of the current war are imperialist states and what they want is to increase their hegemony and influence in the new world order.

The USA, which violates the territorial unity and sovereignty of Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria, defends the territorial unity of Ukraine. Disregarding the territorial unity of Ukraine, Russia defends the territorial unity of the states. It is blasphemous for the world states, which have divided and divided Kurdistan, to talk about the territorial integrity and political sovereignty of the countries.

We must expose this imperialist brazenness. A new world order cannot be established on the basis of existing state borders. Even if it is established, it will not be different from the old one, there will only be a change in the sharing of hegemony. It is not possible to establish a just world order without breaking the territorial integrity and political sovereignty of most of the states in the world, especially France, Britain, USA, Spain, Turkey and Iran.

The decline of the revolutionary wave in the world in the last 30 years has created an environment for the colonialist and imperialist powers to achieve ideological dominance and realize their imperialist goals under the cover of peace and democracy. World peace cannot be achieved through calls for peace. On the contrary, it is necessary to fight and, if necessary, call for war against the states that are the cause of wars. The fallacy of orange, pink, velvet “revolutions”, devoid of revolutionary organization, revolutionary struggle and revolutionary programs, has come to an end. Those who sincerely want peace should try to develop the revolution in their own country.
The Kurdistan revolution, which aims at an independent, united Kurdistan, will be our greatest contribution to regional and world peace.
