緊急声明

　特定非営利活動法人NICE（日本国際ワークキャンプセンター。以下NICE）は、この度のロシア軍によるウクライナ侵攻に強く抗議し、一刻も早い停戦と対話による平和的な問題の解決を求めます。

　私たちが取り組む国際ボランティア活動は1920年、第一次世界大戦後に争っていた国同士の人たちが手を取り合い、戦争で荒れた土地を復興し、仮設住宅を建築することから始まりました。活動の根底に『平和』があります。様々な異なる性・年齢・国籍・肌の色・価値観等を持つ人々が共同生活を通して互いを理解して受け入れ、共通の目標に向かって住民達と取り組むこの活動は、100年以上たった現在、90ヵ国余りに広がり、『平和』の実現に向けて力を合わせています。

　現在、ロシア軍による侵攻で多くの一般市民が巻き込まれ、血や涙を流しているウクライナでも、長年活動が行われ、ロシアや日本を含む世界中からボランティアが地元の人々と手を取り合って活動を行ってまいりました。また、日本が大好きで何かできることをしたいと、ウクライナからも大勢のボランティアが日本の活動に参加してまいりました。

　私たちは、共に手を取り合ってきたウクライナ市民が争い、恐怖、悲しみに支配されている現状を見過ごすことはできません。武力が平和をもたらすことはありません。戦争は解決策にはなりません。私たちNICEは全ての戦争・暴力に断固反対し、この声明を発します。同時に、日本在住者を含め、ロシア人というだけで差別・中傷をうけるような事例も派生してますが、こうした理不尽な行いにも断固反対・抗議します。またミャンマー、アフガニスタン、シリア等、世界（そして日本）の多くの所で圧政・暴力により、過酷な状況に置かれ続けている大勢の人々のことも決して忘れてはなりません。

　NICEはこれまで培ってきた国内外のネットワークを活かしながら、微力は無力ではないと信じ、以下を含む可能な限りの行動に取り組みます。そして、共感・賛同する全ての方々に協力を呼びかけます。

●　ウクライナ　Alternative V（2/28付）
    It is more difficult to speak about peace when your neighbour country is an aggressor led by the dictatorship. Unfortunately in this situation Ukrainians have to defend own land, freedom, sovereignty and fate. A lot of russian military troops are at this moment in the Northern, Eastern and Southern parts of Ukraine. Their aim is to occupy Ukraine and to change political power to pro russian one.

    After their attacks, there are a lot destroited strategical, military and civil objects. But Ukrainians have united in front of a common enemy and heroically defending themselves and inflicting damage on the barbarians from Russia. As of today, about 5,000 Russian soldiers have been killed, wounded or taken prisoner in Ukraine. Now, on the border with Belarus, negotiations will be held to de-escalate the conflict. We hope for a positive result and the withdrawal of all Russian troops from Ukraine.

    We ask organisations from Alliance to support informationally and to help in all possible way to stop this war and to help Ukraine yo defend. Unfortunately russians were for many years fed with the certain picture - “truth” that was beneficial for its leader only. Now to stop them we also need to bring them a reality - what is going on our land and what is done by their dictator.

●　ポーランド　SCI（3/1付）
    Only yesterday, on one day, 100 000 Ukrainians came to Poland. Those coming now are almost exclusively women and children. There are many individual and group initiatives popping around all over Poland. Hundreds of volunteers taking people in cars and buses from the border crossings, crowdfunding for refugees and those who are in Ukraine. Help is massive. Just to give you an example, 5 minutes walk from my flat alone there are two huge crowdfunding spots collecting items and meds which are sent to Ukraine every few days. Also in our office of SCI Poland there is a small crowdfunding spot organized by an ngo with which we share the space - items are collected by Ukrainian families that came to Poznań last weekend. Many people also offer their flats to the refugees or host them in their homes. We also cooperate with an animal shelter that takes animals who cannot be hosted together with the people that they came with. There are many personal connections between Polish and Ukrainian people and also many Ukrainians who already lived in Poland and they organize help, too.

    According to the information given by people organizing help at the railway station in Przemyśl, Poland, 20 minutes by car from Shehini/Medyka border crossing close to Lviv, in Ukraine, for now around 95% of those crossing the border already know where exactly they are going (to friends, family, people who know someone they know and offered to host them etc.). The remaining 5% are those who require help, among them people of colour, many of them African students who fled Ukraine and don't know where to go. Of course, with time it will probably change and there will be more refugees who have no one here.

    On the border things are very chaotic. Transport from the border crossing is not well coordinated, most rides are just offered by people who come with their means of transport and put the name of the city on a piece of paper. At some border crossings there are too many drivers/cars and at some there are not enough (and it's dynamic so difficult to react fast enough). Also some crowdfunding actions don't make much sense. For example many people collect and bring clothes to the border and no one needs it. It just piles up there and turns into a dump. Also too much food is brought there and most of it goes bad. So this is something which is not needed for sure.

    We're in contact with volunteering groups and NGOs organizing help in Poland and in Ukraine and making what possible to support them. For now what's most needed is sending medicaments and other medical materials to Ukraine. I don't know if you can organize any help in this area. If any of you are interested in helping with this, we could discuss the details, how it could be done. We are in touch with groups that organize transports to Ukraine as well as with volunteering groups in Lviv. If you have some other ideas of how you could get involved and support Ukrainians, please, write and we’ll share our opinion and see if/how we could help with this.

    We also recommend to support this organization which is helping refugees a lot on the Ukrainian-Polish border (and also Belorusian-Polish border) now: — Fundacja Ocalenie You can transfer money through Facebook: You can share this info in your channels and support them. They are doing great job.

    As for the contact with the former SCI Ukrainian branch - SVIT, I am in touch with two people, one currently out of Ukraine but planning to come to Poland and organize help. Lena is at the moment in Kharkiv where most of the people hide in basements or in a subway these days. It's the second biggest Ukrainian city and for a few days under heavy bombardment. Today she wrote that it is not safe to go outside at all.

    As all of you (probably) know Slovakia is allowing cross our border to all people fleeing from Ukraine. On the border with Ukraine there is great cooperation between police, soldiers, doctors, fire department, mayors and of course NGOs and their volunteers. NGOs helping there are professionals in this field and they know what they are doing.

    You maybe know somebody fleeing from Ukraine or you maybe see that somebody is looking for help in Slovakia. That’s why we would like to share with you official webpages and numbers where they can find necessary information about border crossings, staying in Slovakia, accommodation, work, healthcare, schools, covid-19. There are info also for those who want to get to another country and Slovakia is for them only temporary shelter. Most of the pages are in Ukrainian, English and Slovak. All these info they will get also directly after crossing the border.

    We all are dismayed and stunned by the attack on Ukraine, that are still going on. Our thoughts are with all people in Ukraine affected by this war; with all Ukrainians and Russians who stand for peace and especially with our friends and partners in the Ukraine!

    During the last days, our association has developed some positions on which our actions are based during this time. We would like to share some main points with you. At the level of partnerships this means – first of all – solidarity with our partners in Ukraine.

    Furthermore ijgd takes part in appeals in our networks and associations. We call for monetary donations and provide assistance concerning donating. We support calls and actions that specifically want to help with convoys at the border and we participate in local offers of help. On a pedagogical level, we address the war in our seminars, support and give space for own actions that volunteers might create or take part in; we also give them offer to talk about- and process the reports and pictures of the war.

    In general, we support the welcoming of refugees, regardless of their origin. We stand for peace and for the strengthening of civilian forms of conflict resolution. We take part in peaceful demonstrations that declare solidarity with Ukraine. We support the protests in Russia and admire the courage of the people in Russia who are committed against war and show solidarity with them.

    It is with great sadness that we inform you of the death of Anastasia, a russian volunteer at our 2015 BIFFF. She was killed during the bombing of the Kiev TV Tower on the 1st March 2022 in Ukraine.
    She had contributed as a volunteer to our 2015 edition through the SVI and had put all her energy into making it a success. Rage, pain and indignation. Such a pity that life can end just like this. Thank you for everything you gave, Anastasia. The BIFFF family will always be grateful to you. May you rest in peace
