  • Appeal for a Diplomatic Solution in North East Asia
    Appeal for a diplomatic solution in North East Asia The Abolition 2000 members and affiliated networks listed below, representing peace and disarmament organisations from around the world, call on the United States and North Korea to step back from the brink of war in North East Asia, and instead adopt a diplomatic approach to prevent war. We call for the immediate commencement of negotiations to prevent a military conflict from erupting, and to resolve the underlying conflicts. Such negotiations should take place both bilaterally and through a renewed Six-Party framework involving China, Japan, North Korea, Russia, South Korea and the United States. The escalating tensions and threat of military conflict over North Korea's nuclear and missile capabilities makes a diplomatic solution of vital importance and the highest priority. The increasing risk of war - and possibly even the use of nuclear weapons by miscalculation, accident, or intent - is frightening. More than three million citizens of Korea, China, USA and other countries lost their lives in the Korean War from 1950-1953. Should a war erupt again, the loss of lives could be considerably worse, especially if nuclear weapons are used. Indeed, a nuclear conflict erupting in Korea could engulf the entire world in a nuclear catastrophe that would end civilization as we know it. In supporting diplomacy rather than war, we: 1. Oppose any pre-emptive use of force by any of the parties, which would be counter-productive and likely lead to nuclear war; 2. Call on all parties to refrain from militaristic rhetoric and provocative military exercises; 3.

NFLA and Mayors for Peace work with the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), which received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2017 for its work in encouraging over two thirds of United Nations members to agree to the International Treaty to Prohibit Nuclear Weapons (TPNW). Council regrets that the Governments of the existing nuclear weapon states, including the UK, refuse to support the Treaty. Council fully supports the TPNW as one of the most effective ways to bring about long-term and verifiable multilateral nuclear disarmament. Council also calls on the United Kingdom Government to lead a global effort to prevent nuclear war by: • Renouncing the option of using nuclear weapons first; • Cancelling the plan to replace its entire Trident nuclear arsenal with enhanced weapons; • Actively pursuing a verifiable agreement among nuclear-armed states to eliminate their nuclear arsenals by supporting the Treaty to Prohibit Nuclear Weapons and the ‘Good Faith’ Protocols within the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

  • UK and Ireland Mayors for Peace Briefing Paper 32
    UK & Ireland Mayors, Provosts and Leaders for Peace Chapter 3. Previous Leeds Peace Lecturers BriefingHe a paper Date: 25 th January 2021 No.32 Subject: Entry into force of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons 1. Introduction This report has been developed by the Chapter Secretary and provides its members with a briefing on the potential impacts of the formal ‘entry into force’ of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) on the 22 nd January 2021. Over 150 events were held worldwide by a coalition of groups calling for a world free of nuclear weapons. The entry into force will have a significant impact on how the global discussion on nuclear weapons will take place into the future, particularly in relation to the other UN nuclear weapons treaty – the Nuclear Non- Proliferation Treaty (NPT). It also comes at the beginning of new US President Biden’s term of office and at a time when there is significant instability in the world – the Covid-19 public health pandemic, challenges with Iran’s and North Korea’s nuclear programme, ongoing tensions between the United States, Russia and China, and continuing instability in the relationship between India and Pakistan in relation to the Kashmir region. This report considers some of these matters in relation to the work of Mayors for Peace, the increasing number of municipalities passing resolutions to support the TPNW, and the ongoing development of the European Chapter of Mayors for Peace. 2. Entry into force of the TPNW at the United Nations and events held to celebrate it In late October 2020 Honduras became the 50 th state to formally ratify in their own Parliament the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW).

  • Nuclear Disarmament
    RESOURCE GUIDE ON nuclear disarmament FOR RELIGIOUS LEADERS AND COMMUNITIES RESOURCE GUIDE ON nuclear disarmament FOR RELIGIOUS LEADERS AND COMMUNITIES Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds. — J. Robert Oppenheimer, Director of the Manhattan Project, which created the first atom bomb, quoting the Bhagavad Gita as he witnessed the atom bomb test at Alamogordo, New Mexico, on July 16, 1945 When scientific power outruns spiritual power, we end up with guided missiles and misguided men. — Martin Luther King, Jr. Inside cover: Baker Test, Marshall Islands, July 25, 1946. Photo: US Department of Defense. CATASTROPHIC IMPACT OF NUCLEAR TESTS ON HUMAN HEALTH. Now we have this problem of what we call “jelly-fish babies.” These babies are born like jelly-fish. They have no eyes. They have no heads. They have no arms. They have no legs. They do not shape like human beings at all. When they die they are buried right away. A lot of times they don’t allow the mother to see this kind of baby because she will go crazy. It is too inhumane. — Darlene Keju-Johnson, Director of Family Planning 1987–1992, Marshall Islands, on the impact of U.S. nuclear testing in the Marshall Islands ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Religions for Peace (RfP) would like to express its gratitude and appreciation to the Norwegian Minis- try of Foreign Affairs and Rissho Kosei-Kai for their years of generous support and partnership in RfP’s education and advocacy program to mobilize senior religious leaders and their constituencies around a credible, cohesive and bold advocacy and action agenda for peace and shared security, particularly in the area of nuclear disarmament.
