Too Many Meetings Dear Lisa and Kathy: I suggest that we pick up the discussion started by Bob Tiller's "too many meetings" communication at Thursday's meeting of the Nuclear Weapons Working Group. Howard 10114.01.txt[5/3/2017 11:54:34 AM] Dear George Farebrother: Thanks for circulating the speech of Miguel Marin-Bosch. It is a very helpful analysis. He says that 28 nations who voted against pro-disarmament resolutions "represent today the biggest obstacle to nuclear disarmament". Can you provide me a list of those 28 nations? The Religious Working Group for Nuclear Abolition, which I serve as a co-convener, is lining up some world religious leaders to communicate with delegates to the NPT PrepCom and to sponsor a reception for delegates in Geneva. We would like to encourage our religious contacts in various nations to lobby their governments prior to the PrepCom. It appears that we should concentrate particularly on those 28 nations. That's why the list will be useful. Is there anyone in the Abolition 2000 network who is coordinating such lobbying? Shalom, Howard W. Hallman, Chair Methodists United for Peace with Justice 10114.02.txt[5/3/2017 11:54:34 AM] Dear friends, The International Network of Engineers and Scientists for Global Responsibility (INES) based in Dortmund, Germany, the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation in Santa Barbara, California, USA and the Austrian Study Center for Peace and Conflict Resolution (ASPR) are organizing a People for Peace Conference at Burg Schlaining in Austria from 17-19 August 1998. Any other organizations interested in co-sponsoring this event can contact Basil Massey <[email protected]> or Dietrich Fischer <[email protected]>. The aim of the conference is twofold. First, to provide inputs for the 1999 Hague Peace Conference and second, to bring together people sharing the same ideas to advance the evolving global culture of peace. A draft of details of the conference is enclosed. The organizing committee, participating organizations and experts will refine and develop this list in the upcoming months. A brochure of the town selected for the Peace Conference will be mailed to you soon. Your organization is invited to participate and share your views with others in planning future steps towards the culture of peace. Please let one of us know your views and whether you would like to participate in this conference. Yours sincerely, Basil Massey Dietrich Fischer Major, Indian Army Professor at Pace University Engineers and Scientists 114 Conover Road for Global Responsibility Robbinsville, NJ 08691, USA Gutenbergstrasse 31 44139 Dortmund, Germany Phone: +49-231-57 52 02 Phone & Fax: +1-609-799-8319 Fax: +49-231-57 52 10 E-mail: E-mail: [email protected]> [email protected] PEOPLE FOR PEACE CONFERENCE 17 - 19 August 1998 Peace Center, Burg Schlaining Austria "If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation are people who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and 10114.03.txt[5/3/2017 11:54:34 AM] lightening. That struggle might be a moral one; it might be a physical one; it might be both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and never will. People might not get all that they work for in this world, but they must certainly work for all they get." Frederick Douglass Abolitionist VISION STATEMENT This century has seen the end of slavery, colonialism and apartheid. The United Nations has been successful to a large extent in the role for which it was created, mainly stopping wars between states. After the two world wars, wars between states have gradually been reduced, and in the last few years after Iraq invaded Kuwait there has been no act of aggression by a state. Yet, we in this same century have seen internal conflicts sharply increasing. More people have died in them than the combined toll of the two world wars. There have been incredible advances in technology and scientific developments. Advances in communications have made the world smaller as distances hardly matter any longer. Information can be shared in seconds, which has truly made the world global. Yet, all this has not benefitted the people. The gulf between the favored and the less fortunate on this earth has been widening, and there is no meeting point in sight. In the past, discussions about national and international security have focussed primarily on the threat of military aggression across borders and on military means to meet such threats. Although this threat must not be underestimated, it represents only one among many dangers that pose a risk to human life or inhibit the development of humanity's full potential, in harmony with nature. Threats to human survival also include potential ecological catastrophes, such as climate change and population explosion. Exhaustible resources are being used up rapidly, pollution is generated at a rate that in many cases exceeds nature's capacity to render it harmless, and many species are becoming rapidly extinct, while the human population may soon exceed a sustainable level, if it has not already done so. Many vital old cultures are disappearing, and many people are denied elementary rights and freedom. The growing interdependence of the world has given rise to a series of global problems that states can no longer solve by themselves. Only through worldwide cooperation can we cope with such issues as preventing climate shifts, stabilizing the population growth, preventing nuclear winter/nuclear terrorism, 10114.03.txt[5/3/2017 11:54:34 AM] having a code of conduct in the international arms trade, stopping the use of children in government as well as insurgent armies. And to achieve all this there is an urgent need to strengthen the United Nations. But above all the people have to voice their opinion and make their governments change policies. The importance of people and NGOs is manifested in that some international NGOs have memberships of millions of people, which in certain cases is more than the population of entire countries. In this People for Peace Conference, we cannot touch on all issues, hence it will focus on four themes. One goal of this People for Peace Conference is to provide input for the 1999 PEACE CONFERENCE IN THE HAGUE on these four global issues. In this conference, specifically let us find the moral, spiritual and political will to do what our leaders know must be done but cannot bring themselves to do: - Abolish weapons of mass destruction; - Abolish the arms trade, or at least reduce it to levels compatible with the prohibition of aggression enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations; - Stop the cruel practice of using child soldiers; - Strengthen the United Nations. CONFERENCE DETAILS DATE 17-19 August 1998 LOCATION Peace Center Burg, Schlaining, Austria PROPOSED NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS: 150-200 COST Details not yet available, but assistance to participants from developing countries is expected FORMAT The People for Peace Conference will bring together a wide variety of groups to facilitate the development of new ideas and projects, as well as to create plans for sustained follow- up activities. The participants of such a large number of organizations from activist to strategic to government backgrounds will allow for extensive networking and collaboration across a variety of sectors. The conference will discuss the full spectrum of initiatives integral to the promotion of peace in the 21st century with special reference to the four themes. The conference will have plenary meetings every day at which major world leaders will address the conference on the day's key Agenda item, which will be followed by a variety of lectures, panel discussions, round table sessions and other activities. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE 10114.03.txt[5/3/2017 11:54:34 AM] Organizing Committee The functions of the organizing committee include: Development and implementation of key agenda items; Dissemination of information to; and Cooperation with other interested organizations; Arrange the key staff for this conference.

  • Dear President Obama
    OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA FROM U.S. ORGANIZATIONS Mr. President: It’s time to move from talk to action on nuclear disarmament. April 28, 2014 Dear President Obama, During the closing session of the Nuclear Security Summit in The Hague on March 25, 2014, you cited a number of concrete measures to secure highly-enriched uranium and plutonium and strengthen the nuclear nonproliferation regime that have been implemented as a result of the three Nuclear Security Summits, concluding: “So what’s been valuable about this summit is that it has not just been talk, it’s been action.” Would that you would apply the same standard to nuclear disarmament! On April 5, 2009 in Prague, you gave millions of people around the world new hope when you declared: “So today, I state clearly and with conviction America’s commitment to seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons.” Bolstered by that hope, over the past three years, there has been a new round of nuclear disarmament initiatives by governments not possessing nuclear weapons, both within and outside the United Nations. Yet the United States has been notably “missing in action” at best, and dismissive or obstructive at worst. This conflict may come to a head at the 2015 Review of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT). We write now, on the eve of the third Preparatory Committee (PrepCom) meeting for the 2015 Review Conference of the NPT, which will take place at UN headquarters in New York April 28 – May 9, 2014, to underscore our plea that your administration shed its negative attitude and participate constructively in deliberations and negotiations regarding the creation of a multilateral process to achieve a nuclear weapons free world.

  • Views of Linda Pentz Gunter and Linda Walker
    NFLA Policy Briefing No.197 Date: 11th March 2020 Subject: The impact of radiation on women and the importance of women in dealing with the Chernobyl disaster – the views of Linda Pentz Gunter and Linda Walker 1. Introduction This report is a distillation of two talks given by Linda Pentz Gunter of Beyond Nuclear International and Linda Walker of Chernobyl Children’s Project UK. These were given at a Greater Manchester and District CND meeting close to International Women’s Day. The talks were on the subjects of the impacts of radiation on women and the positive role a number of women have played in the aftermath of the Chernobyl disaster. Beyond Nuclear International is a dynamic new web platform that tells the story of those affected by nuclear power or nuclear weapons from a humanitarian perspective. The Chernobyl Children’s Project UK was founded 25 years ago this year following a special conference held by the host Council of the NFLA, Manchester City Council. A commemorative civic reception for the charity is being hosted by the Lord Mayor of Manchester on April 27 th , the day after the 36 th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster. The NFLA Secretariat would like to thank Linda Pentz Gunter and Linda Walker for permission to reproduce the text of their talks to the meeting. The NFLA also thanks GM&D CND for organising the meeting. Please note these talks are opinion pieces and the views of the authors. 2. Talk by Linda Pentz Gunter, Beyond Nuclear International “So long as there is a woman alive” – the impact of radiation on women I am going to talk about why and how nuclear power discriminates against women and the children we care for and what we can do about it.

On top of this, it will also contain international reactions and information about aid programs. Therefore, the theme of this work is the Chernobyl accident and the working hypothesis is that Europe, Ukraine and America had different information about the accident.

  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1 “Beyond Anxiety,” editorial, New York Times, June 13, 1982, E22. 2 For the purposes of simplicity, this book refers to the assemblage of actors engaged in various types of activism against nuclear power, nuclear weapons, and other related threats as the “anti-nuclear movement.” Although I detail individual movements within the larger whole, the existence of substantial cross-pollination among movement organizations and coalitions indicates that a more appropriate term is the singular. On the idea of a “movement of movements,” see Van Gosse, “A Movement of Movements: The Definition and Periodization of the New Left,” in A Companion to Post-1945 America, ed. Jean-Christophe Agnew and Roy Rosenzweig (Malden, MA: Blackwell, 2002), 277–302. 3 On this diversity, see Jo Freeman and Victoria Johnson, eds, Waves of Protest: Social Movements Since the Sixties (Lanham, MD: Rowman & Littlefield, 1999). See also Simon Hall, American Patriotism, American Protest: Social Movements Since the Sixties (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2011). 4 See Fred Halliday, The Making of the Second Cold War (London: Verso, 1983). 5 On beginnings, see Lawrence S. Wittner, Toward Nuclear Abolition: A His- tory of the World Nuclear Disarmament Movement, 1971 to the Present (Stan- ford: Stanford University Press, 2003), Chapter 1. On the dwindling of the movement, see “Movement Gap,” editorial, Nation, 4 November 1991, 539–40. 6 The phrase “the challenge of peace” recalls the controversial pastoral letter issued in 1983 by the US National Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Ad Hoc Committee on War and Peace. Entitled “The Challenge of Peace: God’s Prom- ise and Our Response,” the letter attempted to define the Catholic Church’s opposition to the nuclear arms race.
