"Because I am in agreement with:
Nuclear disarmament at a global level,
Immediate withdrawal of invading troops from occupied territories,
Progressive and proportional reduction of conventional weapons,
Signing of non-aggression treaties between countries,
Renunciation by governments of the use of war as a means to resolve conflicts,
And furthermore, because I reject all forms of violence."
