By U.S. Civil Society Groups

Following is a slightly abridged version of an open letter to the leaders of USA, South Korea and North Korea signed by more than 100 US civil society groups, released at the UN media briefing by Jackie Cabasso, Executive Director of Western States Legal Foundation on 28 March 2018. – The Editor

As US civil society groups and individuals deeply concerned about dangerous military tensions between our nation and the DPRK, and the rising global risks of nuclear catastrophe, we wish to convey our deepest gratitude for the groundbreaking steps you have taken to begin the essential dialogue and diplomacy that must be undertaken if we are to prevent a war that would likely result in an unthinkable disaster for the Korean Peninsula, the United States and the world.

勢いを増すインドの核抑止政策

【バンガロールIDN=スダ・ラマチャンドラン】

Image credit: rediff.com「インドは心から核大国であること欲しているわけではないが、核抑止は今後数十年のインドの国家安全保障戦略の要であり続けるだろう。」こう語るのは、インド防衛分析研究所(IDSA)の特別研究員であるグルミート・カンワル准将である。

カンワル准将はその理由を近著『戦力の先鋭化:進化するインドの核抑止政策』の中で、「容認しがたい人命への損失と、前例のないような物質的損害を与えられる懲罰的な報復を伴う核攻撃で対抗する政治的・軍事的意志とハードウェアをインドが備えていると敵対国が信ずるかぎりにおいて、敵対国は抑止されるだろう。」と記している。

بواسطة رامش جورا

برلين | جينيف (IDN) – وثيقة جديدة تلخص وضع قوة وقدرات واستراتيجية والسياسة النووية للولايات المتحدة للخمس إلى عشر سنوات القادمة، تنص على أن إدارة ترامب لا تنوي التصديق على المعاهدات العالمية التي تمنع تجارب الأسلحة النووية. أو توقف مثل تلك التجارب.

الوثيقة كانت بعنوان مراجعة الوضع النووي 2018 (استعراض الوضع النووي)، ينص أن “الولايات المتحدة لا تدعم التصديق على معاهدة الحظر الشامل للتجارب النووية.” لكن الولايات المتحدة سوف تستمر في دعم اللجنة التحضيرية لمنظمة معاهدة الحظر الشامل للتجارب النووية (CTBTO).
