On Thursday evening August 3, Amnesty International issued a call for Global Ceasefire Vigils calling for the United States and other world governments to work towards an immediate, full and effective ceasefire to protect civilians on both sides of the conflict in Israel and Lebanon. AI's call includes three points:

* We call for a ceasefire.
* We demand that all governments stop the supply of arms to the conflict.
* We stand in solidarity with the victims and survivors on both sides of the Israel/Lebanon conflict.
