1. Reject more U.S. military intervention, which would increase violence.

2. Publicly support a comprehensive political settlement between the key parties to the conflict, inside and outside of Iraq.

3. Halt unconditional military aid to Iraq.

4. Convene a conference to establish a comprehensive arms embargo to Iraq and Syria.

5. Increase and better allocate humanitarian funds to address humanitarian crisis.
