"The Green Party of the United States recognizes that our greatest contribution to peace in the Middle East will come through our impact on US policy in the region."
Palestinian self-determination is key. So is ending occupation harshness, Gaza's siege, Israeli apartheid, and America's one-sided military and financial support.
Greens support "nonviolent punitive measures until Israel meets its obligation to recognize the Palestinian people's inalienable" rights fully. Principles affirmed under international law must be obeyed.
Other vital foreign policy changes include promoting fair, not free one-sided trade, prohibiting IMF/World Bank structural adjustment harshness, strengthening labor rights, legislating anti-trust laws with teeth, prohibiting US corporations from parking profits abroad, make them pay their fair share, ending Cuba's blockade, and lawless sanctions against nonbelligerent countries.
Universal human and civil rights should be constitutionally mandated. End corporate personhood. They're business enterprises, not people.
Enact a Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). In 1979, the General Assembly adopted it. Over 170 countries ratified it. America is the only industrialized one to spurn it.
In 1898, America invaded Puerto Rico and colonized it. Nothing changed to this day. Greens support Puerto Rican independence. It's 114 years overdue.
Domestic security must be prioritized. Rescind police state laws. Restore freedom. End torture, political persecution, illegal spying, indefinite detention without trial, and presidential diktat power to order anyone (including US citizens) killed on his say alone.
