It is time. Ban nuclear weapons now!
Het NoNukes team hoort sinds kort bij het ICAN netwerk (International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons), een wereldwijde campagne van vredesorganisaties die regeringen oproept te werken aan een verdrag dat leidt tot de wereldwijde afschaffing van kernwapens.
ICAN heeft een nieuw leuk campagnefilmpje met één duidelijk boodschap: Ban nuclear weapons now! Bekijk het fimpje en deel het met je vrienden op Facebook, Hyves of Twitter!
Krista van Velzen Krista van Velzen is a former Dutch MP and is currently working as nuclear disarmament campaigner with PAX in The Netherlands. She is running a citizens initiative in the Netherlands in order to get national legislation banning nuclear weapons.
Van Velzen has been working on disarmament issues since the early nineties. As spokesperson on defence and foreign affairs she has convinced the Dutch government to ban and eliminate clustermunitions and and to prohibite investments as well. She has worked in Central and Eastern Europe creating a network of campaigners on the nuclear issue. She organised a Walk for Nuclear Disarmament from Brussels to Moscow. Her attempts to disarm a British Trident submarine gave her truly interesting experiences inside a Scottish jail. Disagreeing with president Obama, she believes a world without nuclear weapons is achievable in this lifetime.
Als secretaris van het IKV zette Mient Jan Faber zich onvermoeibaar in voor een kernwapenvrije wereld. Wederom zien we een toenemende dreiging van deze massavernietigingswapens. Tijd voor echte stappen op ontwapening #nuclearban Cartoon @volkskrant
