Religionsbaserade grupper tar fram fallet med nedrustning

Analys av T.K. Fernandes

NEW YORK (IDN) – Sedan den dödliga användningen av atombomber i Hiroshima och Nagasaki 1945 har det internationella samfundet krävt en avveckling av kärnvapen. Trots långsamma framsteg har det civila samhället oförtrutet fortsatt att förespråka en kärnvapenfri värld och är i själva verket i princip ett steg närmare dess förverkligande.

Grupos religiosos defendem o desarmamento

Análise de T.K. Fernandes

NOVA IORQUE (IDN) – Desde a utilização mortífera de bombas atómicas em Hiroshima e Nagasaki em 1945 que a comunidade internacional tem vindo a solicitar a eliminação de armas nucleares. Apesar dos lentos progressos, a sociedade civil tem continuado a defender, incansavelmente, um mundo  livre de armas nucleares e encontra-se, de facto, mais perto da sua concretização em princípio.

Trosbaserte grupper argumenterer for nedrusting

Analyse av T.K. Fernandes

NEW YORK (IDN) – Siden den dødelige bruken av kjernebomber i Hiroshima og Nagasaki i 1945, har det internasjonale samfunnet tatt til orde for avskaffelse av atomvåpen. Til tross for treg fremgang har det sivile samfunnet fortsatt kjempet utrettelig for en atom-fri verden, og er faktisk ett skritt nærmere realisering i prinsippet.

Under en tale til IDN, direktør for fred og menneskerettigheter i Soka Gakkai International (SGI), bemerket Kimiaki Kawai viktigheten av kjernefysisk nedrustning, og staterte: ”Vi har felles globale utfordringer som klimaendringer, fattigdom, sult og katastrofer – så hvorfor utnytter vi ikke våre rike ressurser for et mer meningsfylt formål?”

I gruppi religiosi sostengono la causa del disarmo

 Analisi di T.K. Fernandes

NEW YORK (IDN) – Sin dai giorni dell’uso letale delle armi atomiche su Hiroshima e Nagasaki nel 1945, la comunità internazionale ha ambito all’eliminazione delle armi nucleari. Nonostante la lentezza del progresso, la società civile ha incessantemente invocato un mondo libero dal nucleare, ed è di fatto un passo più vicina alla realizzazione di questo desiderio.

Kazakh President’s Japan Visit Focuses on Nuke-Free World

By Katsuhiro Asagiri and Ramesh Jaura

TOKYO | HIROSHIMA (IDN) – Striving for a nuclear-weapons-free world holds a special place in Kazakh-Japan relations, according to President Nursultan Nazarbayev who on November 9 visited Hiroshima that suffered U.S. atomic bombings along with Nagasaki 71 years ago.

Nazarbayev was on a three-day official visit to Japan less than two months before it joins the UN Security Council in January as its non-permanent member for two-years until the end of 2018. In the first year it would be working closely with Japan before Tokyo’s two-year term in the Council comes to a close at the end of 2017. [P28]  JAPANESE TEXT VERSON PDF |

Glaubensbasierte Gruppen machen Abrüstung zu ihrer Sache

 Von T.K. Fernandes

NEW YORK (IDN) – Seit der tödlichen Verwendung von Atombomben in Hiroshima und Nagasaki im Jahre 1945 forderte die internationale Gemeinschaft die Beseitigung von Atomwaffen. Trotz langsamer Fortschritte hat sich die Zivilgesellschaft unermüdlich für eine Nuklearwaffen-freie Welt eingesetzt und sie ist in der Tat prinzipiell der Verwirklichung einen Schritt nähergekommen.

Faith-Based Groups Make the Case for Disarmament – Japanese

信仰を基盤とした諸団体、軍縮を訴える

 【ニューヨークIDN=T・K・フェルナンデス】

1945年に広島・長崎に恐るべき原爆が投下されて以来、国際社会は核兵器の廃絶を訴えてきた。ゆっくりとした歩みだが、市民社会は、核兵器なき世界の必要性を弛みなく訴え続け、事実、その実現に原則一歩近づきつつある。

創価学会インタナショナル(SGI)の河合公明平和・人権部長は、IDNの取材に対して、核軍縮の重要性を指摘し、「私たちは気候変動や貧困、飢餓、災害といった共通の地球的課題を共有しています。ならば、私たちの貴重な資源をもっと意味のある目的に利用すべきではないでしょうか。」と語った。

BERLIN (IDN-INPS) – For once, the United States, France and the United Kingdom are in agreement with Russia: plans to negotiate a nuclear weapons ban need to be stopped. Before the vote on October 27 in the UN First Committee, they pulled out all the stops to pressurise other states to vote against or abstain on a draft resolution co-sponsored by 57 states for a conference to be convened in 2017 to negotiate a nuclear ban.
