The Rapidly Increasing Urgency of Nuclear Zero
急速に緊急性を増す 「核兵器廃絶」
【サンタバーバラ（米加州）IDN＝リック・ウェイマン】
２０１６年１０月２４・２５の両日、核時代平和財団は、様々な分野から核問題に取組んできた少人数の専門家（学者、活動家、思想家等）を招集して、核軍縮に向けたグローバルな言説をいかにして変えていくかを議論した。シンポジウム「喫緊の課題である核兵器廃絶」において、参加者らは、核の脅威をめぐる現状、核兵器廃絶に立ちはだかる地政学的・心理学的障害、今後進むべき道筋について議論した。
シンポジウムから僅か２週間後にドナルド・トランプ氏が米国の新大統領に選出されるという新たな政治的現実を盛り込むために、シンポジウム最終声明の発表は大幅に遅れることとなった。

Forthcoming UN Conference Underlines Resistance to Nukes
By Samantha Sen
LONDON (IDN) – Now that the new world order some of us were talking about threatens to collapse into a new world disorder, the emerging fear is what the U.S and Russia could agree on, rather than what they disagree about. U.S President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin have discovered one another as political twins looking in the same direction from opposite sides – what were thought to be opposing sides anyhow. Nowhere does this union of vision appear more deadly than in the business of nuclear armament, and business it is.
Both leaders have said yes to all the weapons they have, and nodded in the direction of yet more. Both have spoken of “strengthening” their nuclear capabilities. Strengthen how much more to what end? Dire arithmetic abounds on how many times over each can destroy the world. Skip the count; once would be enough. [P37] JAPANESE TEXT VERSON PDF

The Rapidly Increasing Urgency of Nuclear Zero
By Rick Wayman*
SANTA BARBARA, CA, USA (IDN) – October 24-25, 2016, the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation brought together a small group of academics, activists and thought leaders to discuss how to shift the global discourse toward nuclear disarmament. The symposium, entitled “The Fierce Urgency of Nuclear Zero: Changing the Discourse,” discussed the current state of nuclear threats, geopolitical and psychological obstacles to nuclear zero, and the path forward.
The symposium’s final statement was delayed in order to incorporate the new political realities following the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States, which took place just two weeks after the symposium. [P36] JAPANESE TEXT VERSON PDF
