Decode Trump To Halt His Access To U.S. Nuclear Codes

Viewpoint by David Krieger*

SANTA BARBARA | USA (IDN-INPS) – The future of the world and of humanity is at the mercy of a lunatic. His name is Donald Trump, and he alone has access to the U.S. nuclear codes. Before he does something rash and irreversible with those codes, it is imperative to decode Donald, taking the necessary steps to remove this power from him.

Trump tweeted on December 16, 2016: “The United States must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes.”

Progress Toward Nuclear Weapons Abolition

Viewpoint by David Krieger*

SANTA BARBARA | USA (IDN-INPS) – The Nuclear Age Peace Foundation has been working to end the nuclear weapons threat to humanity and all life for 35 years.  We were one of many nuclear disarmament organizations created in the early 1980s, in our case in 1982. Some of these organizations have endured; some have not.

We were founded on the belief that peace is an imperative of the Nuclear Age, that nuclear weapons must be abolished, and that the people of the world must lead their leaders to achieve these goals. As a founder of the organization, and as its president since its founding, it now seems an appropriate time to look back and reflect on the changes that have occurred over the past 35 years.

Il Congresso degli Stati Uniti d’America impedirà legalmente una III Guerra Mondiale?

Di Shanta Roy

NAZIONI UNITE (IDN): il comportamento estremamente imprevedibile del presidente degli Stati Uniti d’America in merito alle armi nucleari (e le sue minacce pubbliche di “distruggere totalmente” la Corea del Nord) hanno scatenato una forte reazione politica da parte degli attivisti contro la guerra e contro le armi nucleari.

The Vatican Galvanizes Support For A Nuke-Free World

梵蒂冈会议传达出对促进无核世界进程的支持

【梵蒂冈城（IDN）= Ramesh Jaura】

２０１７年１１月１０日到１１月１１日，一场主题为“一个无核的世界和彻底地核裁军”的国际会议首次在梵蒂冈城举行。恰巧的是，这正逢美朝核武问题极度敏感的时期。美国总统特朗普也在这次会议举行期间对亚洲几个主要国家进行了国事访问。就像加纳红衣主教Cardinal Peter Turkson所说的一样，虽然我们为实现无核世界做了多年的努力，但最近所有事件在时间上的巧合看起来似乎是“天意”。

１１位诺贝尔奖荣誉获得者，联合国、北约组织官员和一些包括俄罗斯，美国，韩国，伊朗在内的核武国家、以及佛教机构国际创价学会（SGI）都参与了这场国际研讨会。本次研讨会的目的就在于转变冷战时期以核威慑力为主要目的的对外政策，使当前各国的对外政策朝着彻底核裁军的方向迈进。

バチカンが非核世界への支援を活性化

【バチカンIDN＝ラメシュ・ジャウラ】

１１月１０・１１両日にローマ教皇庁が主催した「核兵器なき世界と統合的な軍縮」への展望を巡る初の国際シンポジウムが、北朝鮮との緊張が激化する米国のドナルド・トランプ大統領のアジア歴訪と重なったのは、意図した結果ではない。会議は数年の準備を経たものであり、そのタイミングは、ガーナ出身のピーター・タークソン枢機卿がうまく表現したように、「摂理」とでも言うべき偶然であった。

正式には、「冷戦期の抑止政策から完全核軍縮への移行に対する支持を活性化することを目的とする」と説明されたこの国際シンポジウムには、１１人のノーベル平和賞受賞者をはじめ、国連、北大西洋条約機構（NATO）関係者、ロシア・米国・韓国・イランを含む一部の核能力を持つ国々や、在家仏教組織である創価学会インタナショナル（SGI）の代表者らが参加した。
