There should never be any doubt or confusion as to the reason NATO was formed.  The North Atlantic Treaty Organization's purpose is clearly defined: "NATO’s purpose is to guarantee the freedom and security of its members through political and military means." [https://www.nato.int/nato-welcome/index.html]

​

With that clearly understood, NATO and its Members are ever vigilant:   keeping careful watch for possible dangers or difficulties in  a now - more than ever before - fast-changing world wherein new and unprecedented challenges not only threaten NATO Members, but also the whole of Human existence including the very environment that all of Humanity inhabits.

​

The earliest years of the 21st Century have already presented alarming events  evidencing heinous acts of terror, violence and brutalities against innocent and helpless populations  of vulnerable men, women and children:  cruelties against Humanity  which must be concertedly  addressed - and even forcefully halted - with the joint efforts of Nations great and small. 

​

With tremendous burdens of extreme hardships yet being thrust upon large populations of the helpless and vulnerable, i.e. millions being subjected to forced displacements throughout diverse areas around the world, extensive Humanitarian needs are also growing globally.  

 

As the world continues its journey further into this new Century and Millennium, "Partnerships for Humanity" and it's life-sustaining environment must lead the way!

​

Thanks to the growing "Helping Hands of NATO and it's Members" Humanity in its entirety can continue to  look forward to a secured, peaceful and prosperous co-existence  within a healthy environment NOW . . . and for future generations to come!
