Why is UNOV important for PPI?

Over almost a decade of UN activities, we have consistently attended events at the UN Headquarters in New York and the office in Geneva. Around 2019 we sent a few delegates to Vienna, but COVID ended most of our activities. This year we are making a new emphasis to network and lobby at UNOV, because a lot of very important global policies that are important to our movement are decided there. The important issues include crime, drugs, trade, outer space, and nukes. Over this past Easter holiday the chair of PPI, Keith Goldstein, met with the Pirate Party of Austria members, including the PPI main representative at UNOV, Kay Schroeder. …

PPI Statement on the Destruction of Democracy Under President Trump

Pirate Parties International stands in solidarity with the people of the United States and our colleagues from the US Pirate Party. We respect the resilience of the American citizens and non-American citizens who live in fear during these challenging times. Since Trump has returned to power, we observe with growing concern the negative impacts his administration has had on the sacred values of our movement: democracy, transparency, and human rights. We find it sadly ironic that the United States, a nation that was recognized for promoting freedom, the greatest democracy in the planet, now represents an authoritarian axis. PPI expresses deep concern not only for those in America, but also …
