核兵器禁止条約交渉に暗雲立ち込める

【ワシントンDC・IDN＝ロドニー・レイノルズ】

１９３カ国で構成される国連総会が２つの重要な会期（３月、６月～７月の計２０日間）からなる会議を開催する。それは、世界的な核兵器の廃絶に向けた、一か八かの賭けとなることだろう。

ストックホルム国際平和研究所（SIPRI）軍縮・軍備管理・不拡散プログラムの責任者タリク・ラウフ氏は、「２０１７年が、核兵器が禁止される年になるのか、それとも、それを実現しようとする動きがある種の『フェイクニュース』とされてしまうのかは、まだわからない。」と、やや懐疑的だ。

Nuclear Disarmament Is Humanity’s Common Cause

By Dr. J. Enkhsaikhan

Note: Dr. J. Enkhsaikhan is Chairman of Blue Banner NGO and former Permanent Representative of Mongolia to the United Nations in New York and Vienna. This article comes in run-up to the UN General Assembly’s two sessions – scheduled for March 27-31 and June 15-July 7 – to negotiate “a legally binding instrument to prohibit nuclear weapons, leading towards their total elimination”.

ULAANBAATAR, Mongolia (IDN-INPS) – Some believe that those that do not possess nuclear weapons have no basis to demand that those that do possess alter their nuclear policies. However, as the three recent international conferences on humanitarian consequences of nuclear weapons vividly demonstrated yet again, the detonation of a nuclear weapon, intentionally or otherwise, will have catastrophic consequences with far-reaching climatic, genetic and other devastating effects.
