FLASH: Last night at the Palace of Versailles, the new 14-point Memorandum of Understanding between the United States and Iran was digitally signed by President Donald Trump and by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.

The world stands at a conjunction point. We hope that announced plans proceed associated with the new memo of understanding between U.S. and Iran representatives—for which a ceremony is said to be set for Switzerland Friday, mandating a ceasefire, and other terms, and the beginning of 60 days of further negotiations. At the same time, the only way ahead for humanity, is for the Oasis Plan approach in the immediate and extended region. It is needed internationally as well, given the economic shock waves coming atop the pre-existing breakdown process in the economies under the Western system.

The Extended Oasis Plan approach is the concrete expression of the principle of peace through development. Two important new statements in this regard were issued today. In Beijing, Foreign Minister Wang Yi held a press conference, speaking of China being a builder of world peace and contributor to global development, and releasing a new white paper, More Just and Equitable Global Governance: China’s Principles, Proposals and Actions.

Helga Zepp-LaRouche, founder of the Schiller Institute and Editor-in-Chief of EIR, released a new paper today, “Urgent Appeal from Pope Leo XIV: ‘Stop! Repent! Before It’s Too Late!’ The New Name for Peace Is Development!” Zepp-LaRouche’s document, which reports on the Pope’s encyclical Magnifica Humanitas, and his recent speeches in Spain, includes a call to action.

Zepp-LaRouche writes:

“Of all the important and urgent speeches delivered recently by politicians and experts from many countries with the aim of preventing the strategic situation from escalating into a catastrophe that would wipe out the human race, Pope Leo XIV’s intervention—with his encyclical Magnifica Humanitas and the addresses he delivered during his recent trip to Spain  --  is, in my best judgment, by far the most important. When historians later examine the question of what—hopefully—proved to be the decisive factor in bringing Western civilization, in the midst of a deep spiritual and cultural crisis, to change course, they will come upon the role played by the Pope, and the willingness of a sufficiently large number of believers and people of good will to take his words to heart and bring about a change in policy…

“At the same time, he indicates the way out of the crisis, which is within reach, namely, that people summon up the highest ideal of the Christian view of humanity, and put it into practice…

“When one considers the encyclical and the Spanish texts together, they represent a complete reckoning with the entire political agenda of the liberal West, and do so with a clarity that should compel all politicians who have sworn an oath of office to serve the common good (above all, those whose parties bear the word ‘Christian’ in their names) to completely reverse their policies.

“Among the various aspects of these policies, all of which are building blocks of the new Tower of Babel, are the idolatry of profit at the expense of the poorest, the financial interests that fuel tensions and conflicts to keep the war industry up and running, and support for modern forms of slavery.”

Zepp-LaRouche then quotes the Pope’s encyclical Magnifica Humanitas:

“81. A litmus test for social justice today is the treatment of migrants, refugees and those forced to move due to poverty, violence, climate change and environmental disasters… It means promoting the right to remain in one’s homeland in peace and security by addressing the root causes that force people to migrate, including those linked to economic injustices and the climate crisis. When these rights are respected, migration can become an opportunity for encounter and mutual enrichment among peoples.”

Zepp-LaRouche insists: “Instead of clinging to an inhuman neo-colonialist mindset, the governments of Europe and the U.S. are called upon to immediately commit to international cooperation aimed at completely eradicating poverty and underdevelopment in all nations on this planet.”

She concludes: “The encyclical Magnifica Humanitas is Pope Leo XIV’s urgent call for change. The Schiller Institute’s development programs show a concrete path to overcoming the refugee crisis. What humanity needs now is a movement to promote the idea: ‘Development is the new name for peace’!”

This coming International Peace Coalition Friday, June 19, will be the chance to confer on this.
