For a Nuclear Weapon-free, Peaceful and Just World:
We call on your participation
in and support to the 2013 World Conference against A and H Bombs
February
14, 2013
71st
General Meeting, Organizing Committee
Dear
friends,
We
will soon commemorate the 68th anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki .
And in these two A-bombed cities, we are convening the 2013 World Conference
against Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs on August 3 to 9, under the theme: “For a
Nuclear Weapon-free, Peaceful and Just World”. We invite all of you to
participate in the Conference, send your support to and take actions in
solidarity to realize our common desire to create a world without nuclear
weapons.
Now,
aiming to achieve a nuclear weapon-free, peaceful and just world, people are
raising their voices throughout Japan
and across the world. Their voices must be increased and actions be taken
to that end.
Last
December in the U.N. General Assembly, the NAC resolution calling for the
implementation of nuclear disarmament commitments was adopted with a large
margin of 175 countries in favor versus only 6 opposing. The Malaysian
resolution calling for a start of negotiations for a nuclear weapons convention
was adopted with 135 states supporting, the largest number ever. There is
now another initiative for nuclear weapons abolition. From the viewpoint
of humanitarian consequences of the use of nuclear weapons, 35 member states,
including the Holy See and some NATO member states, issued a joint statement
calling for efforts to outlaw nuclear weapons.
It
will soon be 3 years since 189 states parties to the NPT agreed on achieving
“the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons” . The
progress towards that goal is delayed by the nuclear weapon states upholding
the “nuclear deterrence theory”, claiming that their nuclear weapons are the “guarantee
of security”, and their allies’ policy of relying on their “nuclear
umbrella”. Countering such nuclear policies, dangerous moves of
developing nuclear weapons are emerging.
However,
these moves have no future. Relying on nuclear weapons is retrogressive
to human history. Abolition of nuclear weapons is a major trend in the
world.
The
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon in August 2010 called for achievement of the
abolition of nuclear weapons by 2020, describing “nuclear deterrence” as
“illusions - delusions of security”. Before that deadline, in 2015, the
next NPT Review Conference is to be held, which will verify the implementation
of the agreements on “a nuclear weapon-free world” .
Towards
the 2015 NPT Review Conference, we must create the united grass-roots movements
of the people around the world. And in Japan ,
the A-bombed country, we must defend Article 9 of the Constitution and “the
Three Non-nuclear Principles”, and raise our voices louder to make the Japanese
government meet the people’s wishes and work for a total ban on nuclear weapons
and a nuclear-free and peaceful Japan .
The
2013 World Conference will provide an opportunity to rally the voices and
activities of the people of Japan
and around the world striving to achieve a nuclear weapon-free and peaceful
world. The Conference will be a place to develop joint efforts and deepen
solidarity among national and local governments, NGOs and grass-roots movements
working together for the survival of humanity. The Conference will also provide
an opportunity for a broad range of generations bearing the present and future
of the world. The solidarity with all nuclear victims, including the
victims of Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident will be sought for.
We
again call for your warm support to the 2013 World Conference. Let us
achieve a great success of the Conference, by developing the variety of
grass-roots activities and bringing together your achievements to Hiroshima and Nagasaki :
Collecting signatures in support of the “Appeal for a Total Ban on Nuclear
Weapons”; Holding A-bomb exhibitions; the National Peace March and many others.

A PART OF AIR WAR AFTER NAGASAKI : LAOS
Voices from the Plain
of Jars
Life under an Air War (SECOND EDITION)
Edited by Fred Branfman with essays and drawings by Laotian villagers
Foreword by Alfred W. McCoy
New Perspectives in Southeast Asian Studies Alfred W. McCoy, R. Anderson Sutton, Thongchai Winichakul,
and Kenneth M. George, Series Editors
“A classic. . . . No American should be able to read [this book] without weeping at his country’s arrogance.”
—Anthony Lewis, New York Times
During the Vietnam War the United States government waged a massive, secret air war in neighboring Laos. Fred Branfman, an educational advisor living inLaos
at the time, interviewed over 1,000 Laotian survivors. Shocked by what he heard
and saw, he urged them to record their experiences in essays, poems, and
pictures. Voices from the Plain of Jars was the result of that
effort.
When first published in 1972, this book was instrumental in exposing the bombing. In this expanded edition, Branfman follows the story forward in time, describing the hardships that Laotians faced after the war when they returned to find their farm fields littered with cluster munitions—explosives that continue to maim and kill today.
“Today, the significance of this book’s message has, if anything, increased. As Fred Branfman predicted with uncommon prescience, the massiveU.S. bombing of Laos
during the Vietnam War marked the advent of a new kind of warfare—automated,
aerial, and secret—that is just now emerging as the dominant means of projecting
U.S.
power worldwide.”—Alfred W. McCoy, author of Torture and Impunity: The U.S.
