>
> The European Disability Forum General Assembly in Brussels conscious of
the
> terrible suffering of all peoples caught up in the present war in Balkan
> Region and especially the suffering of our disabled brothers and sisters
> and their families, call upon all the parties involved in the conflict to
> enter immediately into meaningful dialogue to bring an end to this
terrible
> war in Europe.
>
> European Disability Forum members, all of whom are committed to Human
> Rights, and instruments such as the Geneva Convention, condemn all forms
of
> violence, terrorism war, xenophobia or any form of violation of human
> rights, irrespective of where or by whom it is perpetrated.
>
> As this conflict continues, people with disabilities and their families
> continue to experience all forms of violence including rape, torture and
> death. They are faced with insurmountable difficulties trying to reach
> shelters, safe havens, or fleeing the immediate areas and instances of
> violence.
>
> We therefore call on all international human rights organisations, relief
> agencies and countries involved to give particular attention and support
to
> the needs of our disabled brothers and sisters, innocent victims on all
> sides of this war, and offer the support and advice of the European
> Disability Forum and its member organisations on how this can be
achieved.
>
> Finally we appeal to all involved:
>
> STOP THIS WAR
> START TALKING NOW
