Category: English , Images & Video World without Wars and without Violence, Czech Republic “Don’t stop at the START” was the message of a short happening taking place while the new START treaty between USA and Russia was being signed at the Prague Castle. “We welcome the START treaty as a positive step which should be followed by an agreement on the international level, leading towards an effective total nuclear disarmament,” organizers said. Members of the international organization World without Wars and Violence showed banners with equations expressing their opinion on the new treaty. “23 000 minus START = HOPE, 23 000 – 23 000 = DISARMAMENT.” The “23 000” referred to the current number of nuclear weapons in the world which will not be reduced by the treaty as it only deals with deployed strategic weapons. Both USA and Russia stockpile thousands of nuclear warheads. “Until USA and Russia give up on the policy of nuclear deterrence and renounce the possibility of real use of nuclear weapons, we cannot say that the nuclear threat in the world has been reduced,” said one of the organizers Jana Jedlicková. “We welcome the START treaty as a symbolic first step on the way towards the total nuclear disarmament. To achieve it, a broad agreement on international level has to be made. That is why we promote the Nuclear Weapons Convention which could start an effective disarmament process and enhance the failing Non-proliferation treaty,” said Jedlicková. Over 120 UN member states are calling for the Convention which would declare nuclear weapons illegal and provide a frame for phased global nuclear disarmament. “The recent call for withdrawal of US nukes from Europe, made by five NATO states, can be considered as another positive signal,” said another organizer Jan Bednár. “As the nuclear disarmament is one of the main goals of our organization, we will continue this campaign to make the Czech Republic active in strive for adoption of international treaties leading to the nuclear disarmament.” Bednár added. A delegation of World without Wars and without Violence from dozens of countries including the Czech Republic will participate in the New York NPT Revision Conference in May.

However, the real solution of the nuclear threat must be based on an international agreement to abolish and outlaw nuclear weapons. Russia and USA stockpile thousands of nuclear warheads which, together with nuclear arsenals of France, China, United Kingdom, Israel, Pakistan, India and North Korea, make more than 20 thousands of nuclear warheads. The pressure of the military-industrial complex makes governments around the world spend more and more on armament. Unless the United States and the Russian Federation give up on the policy of nuclear deterrence, we cannot say that the nuclear threat in the world has been reduced. Moreover, the treaty is jeopardized by the intended US missile shield which could freeze the process of releasing tensions and spin a new round of the arms race. In the situation when the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) is failing, the State Parties do not fulfill their obligations and non-signatories develop their own nuclear arsenals, it is necessary to seek an agreement on the international level to put in motion the process of elimination of all nuclear weapons. That is why we will participate in the New York NPT Review Conference in May 2010 where we will promote the adoption of the Nuclear Weapons Convention that would provide a framework for complete nuclear disarmament and outlaw nuclear weapons. That is the only way to achieve the real international security. We wish that, as the famous last year’s Obama’s speech had become a symbol of hope for the nuclear-free world, the new Russia-USA treaty becomes the first symbolic step that will help to put in motion a worldwide initiative for the global nuclear disarmament.

Det hedder i kommissionsberetningen, at »udviklingen peger på, at længerevarende Men hvad siger erfaringerne fra snart otte års krig i Irak og - mest aktuelt - I efteråret 2008 erklærede den britiske ambassadør i Kabul, at de vestlige Fullers analyse underbygges af en bemærkelsesværdig afghansk Netop en sådan forhandlingsløsning med Taleban bad præsident Karzai - der ellers Herhjemme har det nyligt stiftede Rådet for International Konfliktløsning (RIKO) Alternativer til den nuværende strategi findes altså, og de har lokal opbakning.

Category: English HUMANIST REJECTION OF THE COUP D’ETAT IN HONDURAS Argentine Humanists condemn the coup that has just happened in the brother Republic of Honduras by members of the military hierarchy, accompanied by a few authoritarian groups from civil society. Under the outrageous argument of “fulfilling judicial orders”, the Honduran military has violated the norms that establish their obedience to the President of the Nation. He has been deposed by force, they have taken him captive and flown him to Costa Rica, and now they are trying to “democratically” legitimise an illegitimate successor in Congress. It is not by chance that this step back towards the dark past has been taken against a government that in recent times has synchronised its policies with the transformational processes that are happening in our region. President José Manuel Zelaya Rosales has been working for poverty reduction, for an increase in spending on education and on regional unity. For sure this has not gone down well with the old oligarchs, just like the fact that Zelaya’s government has moved closer to Chavez and gone into ALBA. It is not new that certain politicians, disguised as democrats, in agreement with some judges and above all with private media companies come together to try to undermine the image of the President. The same has happened in Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador and also in Argentina. They are the same reactionaries that speak of democracy while there are governments that support their interests, but have no hesitation in showing their willingness to kick out a government that does not obey them. But this time they have won military support to carry out their intentions, and we cannot allow this to happen in Latin America. Our people have suffered too much at the hands of authoritarians and the violent. Our people have suffered too much through the action of the intolerant that resist changes. Latin America doesn’t want a return to the dark past. Already the OAS and various countries of the region have expressed their rejection of the coup organisers. So, this is why we are demanding the immediate restitution of the legitimate President of Honduras to power and the resolution through democratic means of all the differences that may exist between the Government and its opponents. And democracy basically means to consult the people: a people that we also call upon to resist those who organised the coup through a non-violent struggle; because nonviolence is always the way, as Humanists have been saying for ever, and just like Zelaya himself expressed in his recent inaugural speech of the OAS Assembly in Honduras in June.
