The immediate pause in violence is a good first start, and we should then continue our demands for representation, enforcement, accountability, justice.
When “peace” mostly means more troops, more walls, or more surveillance — that’s not peace. That’s militarism with better PR.
Support and demand more
What do we do when we see an agreement that isn’t just?
We need to embrace the good and demand more.
If a handful of governments, billionaires, or companies stand to profit — arms deals, mining rights, reconstruction contracts — you’re not looking at peace. You’re looking at rebranding for imperialism.
The “Security” Trap
Is there accountability? If severe crimes, including war crimes, were committed – does the agreement address these? Does it offer methods of accountability?
Red Flags to look out for
Follow the money
What happens when one side breaks the deal? If there’s no mechanism to hold powerful players accountable, the “agreement” is just a suggestion for the strong, and a commandment for the weak.
What to Look For
Is everyone actually at the table? If the people most affected by the violence aren’t shaping the deal, it probably won’t actually serve them.
When world leaders take victory laps for brokering “Peace agreements” and “ending conflicts” but the bombs keep falling, borders keep shifting, and people keep dying — was it ever really peace?
We decided to help out, and offer a beginners guide to peace agreements.
A Beginner’s Guide to Peace Agreements:
From Gaza, through the DRC to Ukraine we’re seeing “Peace Plans” proposed by Trump and similar figures.

Powerful words from a protester we interviewed at #COP30: "People cannot eat money. People cannot eat oil." The planet is collapsing while corporations and governments greenwash destruction. Ever increasing military spending is nothing but a part of this logic.
Good news: we found the money for climate action. 💰🌍
Spoiler — it’s in the military budget. #COP30 #ClimateAction
We’re back at #COP30 today, this time in the blue zone where specific regulations apply. No country names, currencies or conflicts can be named, accreditation is required to enter the premises, and any protest or action from civil society has to be approved. Securitisation at its max!
Wars affecting every corner of the globe, military spending at a record high, and 1.5 degrees breached. Our #COP30 preview wonders what, if anything, will be delivered on conflict, climate and militarism. ceobs.org/cop30-what-t...

#COP30 has officially started, heavily guarded by tanks and military personel. We will report from inside the COP negotiations, as well as from the People‘s Summit and the Inidigenous Caucus, where security is understood to mean climate justice, and access to land for those who are its guardians!
"All of the Earth’s systems are connected. This means that in our millions, in our billions, we are all breathing the same toxifying air, while our Earth’s waters and soils are being polluted in ways we cannot yet understand or ameliorate."

In wars, human lives are lost and people suffer — but our planet does too.
On todays International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict, we want to highlight an article by @wilpf.bsky.social on the ecocide of Palestine and underline their conclusion:
#10PercentForAll #PeaceNotProfit #FeministFuture
At the Women’s Peace Camp in Brussels earlier this month organised by WILPF and Women in Black, Sahar Vardi of the 10% for All Campaign highlighted how resisting militarization is part of every struggle — for justice, for workers, for the planet.
Let’s reclaim that 10% for life.
Solidarity means fighting for each other and ourselves.
It's UN #DisarmamentWeek! We're sharing endorsements from our partner organisations.
Today we proudly highlight @LimpalColombia and their strong statement supporting a 10% cut in military spending. Thank you for your support and leadership!
It's UN Disarmament Week, and we're proud to present the endorsement of SERPAJ Paraguay of the 10% for All Campaign.

Real security doesn’t come from more weapons or wars, but from diplomacy, cooperation, and investment in social well-being. Join us—follow @10percentforall and use #10PercentForAll to amplify the message.
We demand a 10% cut in military spending, redirecting the freed resources toward tackling climate change, strengthening health systems, combating poverty, and ensuring education and social protection for all.
Meanwhile, German politicians are discussing plans to cut unemployment benefits and development aid—despite warnings that these measures will deepen poverty.
The manufacturer, Rafael, promotes the rockets as “combat-proven,” claiming they “can be used in urban combat.” We have already witnessed the devastation caused by Israeli weapons in recent months.
Every euro or dollar spent on Israeli weapons strengthens the capacity for more killing and destruction in the Middle East and beyond.
Chancellor Friedrich Merz had previously banned arms exports to Israel during the g***ide following massive public pressure. Yet, continuing to buy Israeli weapons will further bolster and fund Israel’s militarism.
It also highlights the government’s priorities: while €2 billion will be spent on missiles, only €200 million—just 10% of that amount—has been promised as emergency aid for rebuilding Gaza.
The deal exposes the hypocrisy of European leaders.
The €2 billion agreement is one of the largest arms deals in recent years and dwarfs the €315 million Germany spent on Israeli weapons in 2025.
According to Haaretz (zurl.co/luPJu ) , Germany is purchasing Israeli-made Spike anti-tank missiles in a €2 billion deal, even as public services face budget cuts.
Germany’s latest arms purchase raises serious concerns about spending priorities.
