By RAMESH JAURA

【国連IPS＝タリフ・ディーン】

米ロの新たな冷戦状況が生まれるなか、核の脅威が（恐らくは政治的な美辞麗句を超えて）エスカレートし始めている。

Gemeinsames Handeln für eine atomwaffenfreie Welt

Von Daisaku Ikeda

Tokio (IPS) – Ende April beginnt in New York die diesjährige Überprüfungskonferenz des Atomwaffensperrvertrags (NPT). 70 Jahre ist es inzwischen her, seit über Hiroshima und Nagasaki Atombomben abgeworfen wurden. Ich schließe mich all denjenigen an, die dringend ein substantielles Engagement und einen echten Fortschritt auf dem Weg zu einer Welt ohne Kernwaffen anmahnen.

In der jüngeren Vergangenheit hat es in der Debatte über Nuklearwaffen eine wichtige Akzentverschiebung gegeben. Ein Beweis dafür ist, dass im vergangenen Oktober mehr als 80 Prozent der Mitgliedsstaaten der Vereinten Nationen eine gemeinsame Erklärung zu den humanitären Folgen von Atomwaffen unterstützten. Auf diese Weise haben sie dem gemeinsamen Wunsch Ausdruck verliehen, dass diese Waffen niemals und unter keinen Umständen Anwendung finden dürfen.
