In many ways Australia is a potentially ASEAN group, China, Japan, New Zealand, Taiwan, important country — in a strategic sense, lying at the junction of the Indian and Pacific Oceans and dominating a large part of the Southern South Korea, Australia and, of course, the host Ocean, it is already important, both globally and regionally Australia is country.

  • Breaking Free from Nuclear Deterrence
    Tenth Frank K. Kelly Lecture on Humanity’s Future: Thursday 17 February 2011 Breaking Free from Nuclear Deterrence Commander Robert Green, Royal Navy (Retired) When David Krieger invited me to give this lecture, I discovered the illustrious list of those who had gone before me – beginning with Frank King Kelly himself in 2002. I was privileged to meet him the previous year when my wife Kate Dewes and I last visited Santa Barbara. Then it occurred to me: not only is this lecture the tenth; it is the first since Frank died last June, one day before his 96 th birthday. So I feel quite a weight on my shoulders. However, this is eased by an awareness of the uplifting qualities of the man in whose memory I have the huge honour of speaking to you this evening. As I do so, I invite you to bear in mind the following points made by Frank in his inaugural lecture: • “I believe that we human beings will triumph over all the horrible problems we may face and over the bloody history which tempts us to despair.” • Some of the scientists who brought us into the Nuclear Age made us realize that we must find ways of living in peace or confront unparalleled catastrophes. • A nun who taught him warned him he would be tested, that he would “go through trials and tribulations.” As President Truman’s speechwriter, Frank discussed the momentous decisions Truman had to make – including the one to drop the first nuclear weapons on Japan: • “When I asked him about the decision to use atom bombs on Japan, I saw anguish in his eyes.

  • EXPLANATORY NOTE the Alphabetical Index Appears in The
    EXPLANATORY NOTE (See also the GENERAL INTRODUCTION) The Alphabetical Index appears in the same form and is based on the same principles as those applied in Cumulative Indexes Nos. 1-14. The Index consists of two types of main headings arranged in one alphabet: (1) names of countries and organizations parties to instruments, and (2) subjects of the instruments. Under the main country heading (or organization) the instruments are listed in alphabetical order by the second signatory party followed by the short title. The multilateral instruments in which a particular country participated are listed under this heading arranged alphabetically by short title. Under each subject heading the instruments are listed alphabetically by country or organization and then by short title. A country or organization is usually listed only once, either as the first or as the second signatory party, in alphabetical order. The multilateral instruments are listed alphabetically by short title under this heading.
