3.2. Biological and Chemical Disarmament:

Analysis given by Ineke Malsch;

Debate and Conclusions.

Pax Christi International should highlight three concrete processes where more action is required internationally:

On Small Arms – states should immediately implement the United Nations Programme of Action, and support the development of an effective Arms Trade Treaty.
On Nuclear Arms – we need more states to support the Nuclear Weapons Convention, an idea so far backed by 125 UN Member states, but in dire need of concrete action. Nuclear weapons are futile against any of today's real security threats. The NWC would provide for the elimination of nuclear weapons in much the same way comparable treaties have banned landmines and chemical and biological weapons. True human security, and the survival of our planet, will never be guaranteed until such weapons are eliminated.
On Cluster Munitions - 80 states are participating in a new multilateral process based on the Oslo declaration calling for a ban on cluster munitions by 2008. Those who have not joined are called upon to do so, those already on board are encouraged to continue to support a cluster ban treaty that will put an effective halt to the use of these weapons and ensure assistance to, and inclusion of, affected communities and individuals.

    Turkish opponents and journalists in prison but Atlantic leaders remain unfazed

    The embarrassing NATO summit in Ankara

    This summit is a blatant application of the double standard policy. NATO preaches democracy and freedom and then meets in Turkey where democracy is trampled and freedom comes at a high price for political opponents, journalists, and human rights activists.

    Despite the ban on demonstrations, many gathered to protest in Ankara on Sunday.

    NATO summit in Turkey, journalists and opposition activists caught in the grip of arrests

    Over a hundred participants in the protest against NATO have been detained. Journalists, academics, and members of leftist groups searched and arrested by the police in various Turkish provinces in the days leading up to the event.

    Nonostante la repressione governativa esiste una rete di iniziative

    La mappa della pace in Turchia

    In un paese come la Turchia dove la libertà di espressione è spesso messa a dura prova, il movimento pacifista rappresenta una realtà complessa e coraggiosa che intreccia inevitabilmente la difesa dei diritti umani e la risoluzione della questione curda.

    Oppositori e giornalisti turchi in carcere ma i leader atlantici non fanno una piega

    L’imbarazzante vertice NATO ad Ankara

    Questo vertice è la palese applicazione della politica del doppio standard. La NATO predica la democrazia e la libertà e poi si riunisce in Turchia dove la democrazia viene calpestata e la libertà viene pagata a caro prezzo da oppositori politici, giornalisti e attivisti per i diritti umani.
