Irish Neutrality League launches on UN International Day of Peace       printable version
21 Sep 2022: posted by the editor - General, International, Ireland

The Irish Anti-War Movement (IAWM) announced today that the Irish Neutrality League (INL) was formally launched, coinciding with the United Nations International Day of Peace, Wednesday 21st September.

The Irish Neutrality League is described by the IAWM as a civil society campaign to bring pressure on the Irish Government to assert Ireland’s neutrality positively on the world stage, to be a voice for peace and human rights and to oppose wars and militarisation. It is founded at this time to challenge the worrying signals from the current Irish Government regarding the militarisation of Europe and the world and the possibility of Ireland joining military alliances when instead the Government should be using Ireland’s neutral status in a positive way to encourage diplomacy, peaceful negotiations and demilitarisation.

The INL has been developed by the Peace and Neutrality Alliance (PANA) and the IAWM in conjunction with Independent Senators Frances Black, Alice Mary Higgins and Tom Clonan, and TDs Catherine Connolly, Chris Andrews, Richard Boyd Barrett and Paul Murphy. The INL’s founding statement (copied below) defines Irish neutrality as non-participation in wars and military alliances, as set out in the 1907 Hague Convention V, and as the positive engagement in the peaceful, non-military resolution of political conflicts.

The statement has now been signed by more TDs and Senators, MEPs, Trade Unionists and many leading Irish personalities and academics including broadcaster and journalist Vincent Browne, actor Sinéad Cusack, singer and author Declan O Rourke, singer Mary Coughlan, musician Donal Lunny, former Irish Rugby player Trevor Hogan and Professors Kathleen Lynch (Emeritus UCD), Damian Mc Cormack (Temple St Children's University Hospital), Michael Cronin (TCD), Helena Sheehan (Emeritus DCU), Colin Coulter (Maynooth University) and Dr. Karen Devine (DCU) among others from the world of academia.

IRISH NEUTRALITY LEAGUE – founding statement
‘The Irish Neutrality League campaigns for the protection and strengthening of Ireland’s neutrality. We do this in the spirit of the Irish Neutrality League first established in 1914 at the outbreak of World War 1, by the key figures who would later lead the 1916 Rising, and as such note that Ireland’s neutrality is clearly linked to its sovereign independence and remains a core element of its national identity.

We define Irish neutrality as non-participation in wars and military alliances, as set out in the 1907 Hague Convention V, and as the positive engagement in the peaceful, non-military resolution of political conflicts. As a country that faced hundreds of years of oppression and colonial subjugation by empire, we further understand neutrality as a tradition of solidarity with all the nations and peoples of the world who are victims of imperialism, colonialism, war and oppression.   

We recognise that neutral countries, including Ireland, have contributed to peaceful coexistence between nations over the decades. Ireland’s excellent international reputation, that of its people and of its armed forces in participating in UN Peacekeeping missions, in leading humanitarian support, in advocating for human rights and decolonisation, its role in promoting nuclear non-proliferation treaties and in negotiating the global ban on cluster munitions, is overwhelmingly linked to its neutrality and opposition to empire. Neutrality, along with our record as a voice for peace and international law, imbues Ireland with a credible moral authority to oppose military aggression from whatever quarter and to act as a legitimate voice for the use of diplomatic means and peaceful negotiations to resolve military conflicts.

To further erode Ireland’s neutrality beyond what has already occurred since 2003 - with the use of Shannon airport by the US Military - would fundamentally damage that reputation, make us less significant and less effective on the world stage and likely embroil us in more illegal and unjustified wars by larger world powers. We oppose the invasion of sovereign states by larger powers and recognise the right of states to self-determination. We also oppose the escalation of conflicts and the dangerous militarisation of the world, particularly when such critical issues of world hunger, nuclear proliferation and climate change threaten the survival of humanity.

The role of a neutral state such as Ireland is to be a voice of diplomacy, human rights, humanitarian support and peace in opposition to all imperialist wars, colonialism and oppression. We therefore reject moves by any Irish government to use any international conflict as an excuse to abandon neutrality and involve Ireland in supporting or facilitating wars, joining military alliances and increasing European and world militarisation.

We note that every opinion poll taken on the issue showed an overwhelming majority of Irish people value Irish neutrality and favour retaining it.

The Irish Neutrality League is a civil society campaign to bring pressure on the Irish Government to assert Ireland’s neutrality positively on the world stage, to be a voice for peace and human rights and oppose wars and militarisation. We call on the Government to commit to and reflect the “ideal of peace”, the “generally recognised principles of international law” and the “pacific settlement of international disputes” as referred to in Article 29, Bunreacht na hÉireann.

We also call on the Government to further copper-fasten Irish neutrality by holding a referendum to enshrine it into the Constitution.’

NOD32 Antivirus

'NEW GENERATION' ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE BLOCKS MOST VIRUSES, WITHOUT UPDATES
Netsky, Bagle, MyDoom, Hiton, Sobig, Nimda, Swen etc. no threat to NOD32 users
NOD32's new 'next generation' antivirus software has detected > 80% of all new in-the-wild viruses in the last six months without needing specific signature updates, and without 'false-alarms'.

In this era of fast infecting, mass-emailing viruses, any delay in providing protection can have a huge impact on virus spread. NOD32's performance in stopping most viruses without any need for a signature update is highly significant.

'While most antivirus makers were scrambling to create signature updates NOD32 users were already protected even before anyone knew what these infections were.' commented Kirk Parker, NOD32 Corporate's Technical Manager.

'Many antivirus products use a combination of signature and heuristic detection methods, but few give much attention to the heuristic side,' commented Richard Marko, NOD32's head of Strategic Development.

NOD32 antivirus is the exception, with new, world-leading technology in both signature and heuristic detection. NOD32 was able to block these latest infected messages using its 'Advanced Heuristics', detecting more than 80% of new 'in-the-wild' viruses without a signature update. Viruses pre-detected by NOD32's heuristics include LoveLetter, Marburg,
Badtrans, Swen, Bugbear, Sobig, Kournikova, Lovsan, Lablan, Mapson, Sobig Mimail, Klez, Sircam, Nimda, Bagle and Netsky. Signature updates are released as often as needed.

NOD32 has been awarded more VB100% awards (by Virus Bulletin Magazine UK) than any other antivirus product, and actually has not missed a single 'in-the-wild' virus in over 5 years of testing by Virus Bulletin Magazine.

First To Receive Checkmark Antivirus Certification Levels 1, 2 And Trojan For Windows 2003
San Diego, CA - September 2, 2003

NOD32 is a user-friendly, fully configurable anti-virus software package suitable for single user stand-alone use or for network environments and systems managers. It is particularly well tailored towards network systems protection.

It has all the programmable features you'd expect of good anti-virus software and Eset Software provide an interactive and automated virus database download upgrade service so your virus definitions can be always up to date.

The program incorporates a wide range of protection levels and the software has gained many acclimas for detecting previously unknown viruses in the wild.

The manufacturers say the following:

Eset Software, a leading provider of Internet software security solutions, announced today that its NOD32 Antivirus software has become the first product for the Windows 2003 operating system to receive prestigious Checkmark certification at Levels 1, 2 and Trojan, from SC Magazine's West Coast Labs.

"The Checkmark certification of NOD32 for Windows 2003 to AV [Anti-Virus] Levels 1,2 and Trojan, is the hallmark of a company whose philosophy is to be a cutting-edge AV developer," commented Chris Thomas, Operations Director of West Coast Labs, in a statement announcing the results.

"West Coast Labs' certification process represents the true test of an antivirus product's capability to detect viruses, worms, and Trojans. Eset is pleased to provide its growing client base even further proof of the top detection qualities of NOD32 Antivirus on the Windows 2003 platform," commented Miroslav Trnka, Eset's Chief Technology Officer. Unprecedented Virus Detection NOD32 Checkmark certification comes just after the product received its record 23rd Virus Bulletin VB100% Awards granted by Virus Bulletin, the "Antivirus Industry Bible". Analysts have confirmed the company's claim of having the only product to never miss an 'In the Wild' (ItW) virus during its Virus Bulletin testing since May 1998.

The developers say that NOD32 Antivirus' effectiveness is due to its unique core technology that addresses both known and unknown viruses. NOD32 Antivirus, by way of its advanced heuristic technology, provides state-of-the-art protection against both ItW and unidentified viruses. Heuristics enables NOD32 Antivirus to detect virus-like activity, thereby automatically initiating action to isolate the potentially infected files without false alarms. NOD32 Antivirus' remarkable detection rate enables it to do its job without impacting system performance-a major concern for many users. NOD32 Antivirus' throughput rate-more than twice the speed of the next best product on the market-also provides the fastest possible detection with minimal impact on system performance. Eset Software's NOD32 Antivirus Version 2.0 is available for Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/2003, MS-DOS, Unix, and Novell.
