Gipfel für nukleare Sicherheit im März blendet Gefahr durch Atomstaaten aus

 Von Thalif Deen

New York (IPS) – Im März kommen mehr als 50 Staats- und Regierungschefs auf dem Gipfel für nukleare Sicherheit (NSS) in Den Haag zusammen. Sie werden sich vor allem der Frage widmen, wie sie verhindern können, dass Kernwaffen und Nuklearmaterial in die Hände von nicht-staatlichen Akteuren und Terroristen fallen. Doch nach Ansicht von Aktivisten und Wissenschaftlern sollte auch die Gefahren diskutiert werden, die von den Ländern ausgehen, die im Besitz solcher Massenvernichtungswaffen sind.

Nuclear Disarmament, the State of Play

Nuclear Abolition Viewpoint

By PETER WEISS*

NEW YORK (IPS) – If psychosis is a loss of contact with reality, the current status of nuclear disarmament can best be described as psychotic.

On the one hand, the nuclear issue is beginning to creep out from under the rug where it has lain dormant for several decades. On the other hand, the commitment of the nuclear weapon states to a nuclear weapons-free world is honoured more in the breach than in the observance.

Let us begin by adding up the pluses and the minuses of nuclear disarmament. [P] JAPANESE TEXT VERSION PDF

Nuke Summit Agenda Circumvents Armed Powers

Nuclear Abolition News | IPS

By THALIF DEEN

UNITED NATIONS (IPS) – When over 50 world leaders meet in the Netherlands next month for a Nuclear Security Summit (NSS), the primary focus will be on a politically-loaded question: how do we prevent non-state actors and terrorists from getting their hands on nuclear weapons or nuclear materials?

But sceptical anti-nuclear activists and academics pose an equally serious, but long ignored, question: how do you prevent the use of nukes by the eight countries that already possess the devastating weapon of mass destruction (WMD). [P] GERMAN | JAPANESE TEXT VERSION PDF
