LONDON – The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists announced on January 5 that they have moved the hands of the Doomsday Clock to two minutes to midnight. A few days before this announcement was made a statement by General Sir Nick Carter appeared in The Times in the United Kingdom: “Our ability to pre-empt or respond to threats will be eroded if we don’t keep up with our adversaries.” (The Times 22/1/2018).

Doomsday Clock Warning Makes UN High Level Conference Even More Important
「世界終末時計」の警告受け、国連ハイレベル会議の重要性増す
【ニューヨークIDN=アラン・ウェア】
米国の科学誌『原子科学者紀要』(Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists)が1月25日、「世界終末時計」(地球滅亡の時間を午前0時として、地球最後までの時間を示す時計)の針を30秒進め残り2分とした。事故や計算違い、意図的使用による核戦争の脅威が警戒すべき段階まで達していること、気候変動が回避できていないことを示した形だ。
『紀要』は、「双方における誇張されたレトリックと挑発的な行動」など、米朝間の核の威嚇に焦点を当てた。また、「米国のリーダーシップの低下と、それに関連したトランプ政権下における外交の停滞」を嘆いた。

Trump Awaits a ‘Magical Moment’ to Ban Nuclear Weapons – Persian
ترامپ منتظر لحظهای جادویی برای منع سلاحهای هسته ای
نوشته شانتا رُی
سازمان ملل متحد (IDN) – بازبینی موضع هسته ای 2018 (NPR) که در 2 فوریه منتشرشده، به وضوح خروج از مواضع گذشته بود و به نظر نشاندهنده تعهد مستحکم امریکا به آمادگی استفاده از کشندهترین سلاح کشتارجمعی جهان است (حتی اگر امریکا هدف «حملههای مهم استراتژیک غیرهستهای باشد» مثل حملههای سایبری).

Trump venter på et “Magisk øyeblikk” hvor han kan forby kjernevåpen
Av Shanta Roy
UNITED NATIONS (IDN) – 2018 Nuclear Posture Review (NPR), utgitt 2. februar, er en farlig avgang fra fortiden, og ser ut til å gjenspeile en stabil amerikansk forpliktelse til lett å bruke verdens dødeligste masseødeleggelsesvåpen – selv om USA bare er et mål for “Vesentlige ikke-nukleære strategiske angrep”, inkludert cyberangrep.

Trump aspetta il “Momento magico” per bandire le armi nucleari
Articolo di Shanta Roy
NAZIONI UNITE (IDN) – Il Nuclear Posture Review (NPR) del 2018, pubblicato il 2 febbraio, delinea una pericolosa rottura col passato e sembra riflettere un impegno deciso degli USA a utilizzare le armi di distruzione di massa più pericolose del mondo, sebbene gli Stati Uniti siano solamente un bersaglio di “attacchi strategici non nucleari significativi”, come lo sono gli attacchi informatici.

Por Shanta Roy
NACIONES UNIDAS (IDN) – La Revisión de la Postura Nuclear de 2018 (NPR, por sus siglas en inglés), publicada el 2 de febrero, es una peligrosa desviación del pasado y parece reflejar el firme compromiso de Estados Unidos de utilizar con prontitud las armas de destrucción masiva más mortíferas del mundo, incluso si Estados Unidos es sólo un blanco de “ataques estratégicos no nucleares significativos”, incluidos los ciberataques.

Nuclear Posture Review ‘Recipe for a Disaster’, Warns Pugwash
By J Nastranis
NEW YORK (IDN) – The Nobel Peace laureate ‘Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs’ has warned that the latest development of U.S. nuclear weapons policy “will serve only to increase the saliency and attractiveness of nuclear weapons, and will certainly not enhance international security.”

Die hochrangige UN-Koferenz hat durch eine Warnung der Atomkriegsuhr an Bedeutung gewonnen
Von Alyn Ware*
NEW YORK (IDN) – Das Anzeigebrett der Atomwissenschaftler hat am 25. Januar die Zeiger der symbolischen Atomkriegsuhr auf 2 Minuten vor Mitternacht gestellt, was darauf hindeutet, dass die Gefahr eines durch einen Unfall, Fehleinschätzungen oder gar geplanten Atomskriegs auf ein alarmierendes Maß gestiegen ist und der Klimawandel nicht aufgehalten wird.
Trump Might Well Break International Law Over North Korea
Viewpoint by Jonathan Power*
LUND, Sweden (IDN-INPS) – We are soon going to have a clash between President Donald Trump and international law. This is predicable when one examines the presidential discourse over what to do about North Korea and its possession of nuclear-tipped rockets.
He has threatened “fire and fury” which doesn’t sound like the opening words of the UN’s Charter: “We the peoples of the United Nations determined to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war…..and to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained……and for these ends to practice tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good neighbours.”

Trump Awaits a ‘Magical Moment’ to Ban Nuclear Weapons
By Shanta Roy
UNITED NATIONS (IDN) – The 2018 Nuclear Posture Review (NPR), released February 2, is a dangerous departure from the past, and appears to reflect a firm U.S. commitment to readily use the world’s deadliest weapons of mass destruction – even if the United States is only a target of “significant non-nuclear strategic attacks”, including cyberattacks.
The new policy statement – reflecting a wide justification for a nuclear war – should also be viewed against the continued contradictory statements made by President Donald Trump on issues such as climate change, the Iranian nuclear deal, and most importantly, the use of nuclear weapons.
