Internationale Kampagne zur Abschaffung von Atomwaffen

The United Kingdom spends billions on its nuclear weapons but denies support to those harmed by its nuclear tests. Today on the International Day Against Nuclear Tests, we join our partners Labrats in calling on the UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to provide compensation, clean up radioactive contamination and have a public inquiry.

Across nearly eight decades, more than 2,000 nuclear tests were conducted at more than 60 sites around the world. As the UN Secretary General António Guterres goes on to add, these tests left a legacy of destruction, rendering lands uninhabitable and creating long-term health problems for people. Today on the International Day Against Nuclear Tests, hear more from Aigerim Seitenova, a third generation survivor of the Soviet nuclear testing, a tireless and phenomenal advocate and currently a project manager at the Center for Feminist Foreign Policy, about the importance of commemorating this day and honouring survivors and affected communities from all over the globe. #NuclearBan #IDANT

The 2024 Nuclear Survivors Forum started today in Astana, Kazakhstan! Survivors gathered to share their powerful stories and expertise on the impact of nuclear weapons and what still needs to be done to provide adequate assistance and remediation of contaminated environments. This forum builds on the expertise shared and community building generated in previous Nuclear Survivors Forums convened by the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) and Peace Boat in recent years. This year's forum is co-convened by Peace Boat, Steppe Organization for Peace (STOP) International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) and Center for International Security and Policy Astana. Keep an eye on our channels for updates about this year's Nuclear Survivors Forum - and their demands for action! #NuclearBan #NuclearTest #Leadership #InternationalSecurity

As the threat of nuclear weapons use continues to grow , the role of nuclear-weapon-free zones (NWFZs) has never been more critical. Today,  representatives of nuclear-weapon-free zones (NWFZ), international agencies, civil society and other key stakeholders met for a workshop in Astana, Kazakhstan. The  workshop  focused on strengthening NWFZs and addressing today's emerging global challenges, from enhancing security measures to creating new zones in other regions. As ICAN’s Executive Director Melissa Parke rightly puts it: “ NWFZs have shown that security is achieved through cooperation, not the development and stockpiling of horrifically destructive weapons.” Read her full remarks here: https://lnkd.in/g5D9cbMv These nuclear-weapon-free zones, the dialogue happening today and treaties like the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons are our chance to eliminate the threat of nuclear weapons before these weapons of mass destruction end us. #NuclearBan #InternationalSecurity

Can you imagine what the billions spent on nuclear weapons every year could do if they were spent on providing healthcare, tackling food insecurity or funding education instead? Join the brainstorm. More here: https://lnkd.in/eqASYUfK #nomoneyfornuclearweapons #nuclearban

Every year, the world's nuclear-armed states pour billions into nuclear weapons instead of investing in people and our planet. Imagine if the $90 billion spent last year on nuclear weapons went to healthcare, education, or climate action?

Nuclear weapons don’t just target cities, they target the most vulnerable among us. Children face the highest risks in a nuclear attack. Their vulnerability to heat, blast, and radiation puts them at a higher risk of death and severe injuries. Without adult care, they face even greater hardships.
