SUMMARY:Tectonic Geopolitical Changes: Which Way to Peace & a Nuclear Weapon-Free World
DESCRIPTION:On the Eve of the NPT Review Conference International Civil Society Demands an End to Wars & a Nuclear Weapons-Free World\nJoin the conference via live stream. Three weeks before the conference, we already have an in person full house at Scandinavia House. We are unable to welcome additional participants to join us in person.\nHowever we invite you to register for the live stream.\nAt a time when the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists’ Doomsday Clock has been reset at 85 seconds to midnight, the closest ever to annihilation; when the viability of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT)is under increasing threat and we live in Antonio Gramsci’s “time of monsters,” when the old world is dying and the new one struggles to be born; an international coalition of nuclear disarmament and peace organizations will gather on the eve of the 11th NPT Review Conference. \n\nOur call: Stop the Wars. Halt preparations for nuclear war. Honor the NPT’s , Article VI commitment to good faith negotiations for the complete elimination of nuclear weapons and disarmament steps agreed to at previous NPT Review Conferences. Prevent nuclear weapons proliferation.\n\nAt 10 a.m. on Sunday April 26, hundreds of activists, including Japanese and U.S. nuclear weapons victims (Hibakusha) will gather at the New York City Public Library and march to the Isaiah Wall, across from the United Nations, to call attention to the rising dangers of nuclear war and to demand that the NPT Review Conference make progress toward the goal of a nuclear weapons-free world.\nThat afternoon delegates from the world’s nuclear weapons movements will gather for a conference at Scandinavia House in Manhattan to share analyses of the growing nuclear dangers amidst catastrophic wars, tectonic geopolitical changes, and great power confrontations. The conference will focus on the humanitarian consequences of nuclear weapons and will challenge the misbegotten illusions of “deterrence theory” – the preposterous notion that nuclear weapons modernization and renewed arms racing can serve as the foundation for peace and national security. Together we will build strategies and campaigns to bring humanity back from the brink of the nuclear abyss.\nAgenda and Speakers \nWelcome & Introduction\nJoseph Gerson\nHumanitarian Consequences and the Urgency of Abolition\nNihon Hidankyo TBA\nNuclear powers, arms racing and proliferation\n\nJeremy Corbyn – Your Party Parliamentary Leader\nRay Acheston – Director, Reaching Critical Will\nPhon van den Biesen – Co-President, International Association of Lawyers Against Nuclear Arms.\nTadotishi Akiba – Former Mayor of Hiroshima\n\nChallenging Nuclear Deterrence\n\n Zia Mian – Princeton University\nJackie Cabasso – Western States Legal Foundation\nGloria Bozyigit – Austrian Mission to the United Nations\nJosefin Lind – IPPNW Sweden\n\nWhere we go from here?\n\nAlicia Sanders-Zakre – Head of Policy, International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons\nDaniel Hall – Capitol Hill Representative and Faith outreach coordinator, Back from the Brink\nYayoi Tsuchida – Associate General Secretary, Gensuikyo\nGil Kim – SPARK (Korea)\n\nClosing\nKevin Martin, President, Peace Action\nInitiating Organizations include\nAbolition 2000; Back from the Brink; Campaign for Peace, Disarmament and Common Security; Gensuikyo (Japan Council against Atomic and Hydrogen Weapons); Nihon Hidankyo (Japanese Confederation of A- & H- Bomb Survivors Organizations; International Peace Bureau; International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War; Peace Action New York State; Massachusetts Peace Action; Physicians for Social Responsibility; Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung; Western States Legal Foundation; World Beyond War.\n\n
