Comhairle notes

The concerning escalation in global hostilities, particularly surrounding the United States’ recent aggressive rhetoric around Greenland.

Comhairle further notes

The presence of American and British warplanes in neutral Irish airspace while undergoing an active and aggressive military operation in the North Atlantic.

Comhairle acknowledges

The support of all 5 major Greenland political parties for a fully independent Greenland, free from not just American but also Danish colonial interests.

Comhairle further acknowledges

The position of all major Irish political parties in preserving – however nuanced – our neutrality, which has been clearly violated by the use of our airspace.

Comhairle believes

Greenland has a right to self-determination, self-governance and sovereignty.

Comhairle believes

In the face of increasing global war and instability, and further to Greenland’s right to self-determination, Ireland’s neutral status should be preserved, and the country remain militarily unaligned and advocating for peace and human rights.
