Nuclear weapons are the most powerful fighting tools that the
world has ever known and they are made possible when nuclear fission, fusion,
or a combination of the two release energy and cause an explosion. Since the
destruction caused from the bombing of Japanese cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki
in 1945, the world became aware of the strength and ability to cause great
damage that these weapons possess.
Nuclear weaponry is the outcome of 10,000 years
of human experimentation outside the circle of life. The institutions we've
built, the logic we've adhered to, lead us nowhere, except to more of the same.
Desperate as we are to keep Iran from developing nuclear weapons, we devote
billions of dollars annually to upgrading our own. There are still nearly
16,000 nuclear weapons on the planet, some 1,800 on Cold War-era hair-trigger
alert. We've been on the brink of self-annihilation for 70 years. What sanity
can we access to save ourselves?
Now question arise that is- nuclear disarmament is
good or bad?
I think it is Good..!
There is two things that i always think, these are-
FIRST- Nuclear
weapons are primarily "offensive" weapons. Not "defensive"
weapons..!
SECOND- Why buy a car
if you never intend to drive..!
45 core reasons of Nuclear Disarmament, According to Me are-
1. because nuclear weapons threaten humankind.
Let's get rid of them for good.
2. I believe we now have a real opportunity to
make a change - we should seize it.
3. I believe there would be no winners in a
nuclear war.
4. because we have to prevent terrorists getting
nuclear weapons.
5. because it will make the world safer for our
children and grandchildren.
6. because the resources it will free up could be
used for other global challenges.
7. because the resources it will free up could
fight global food insecurity.
8. because the world will be more secure and
stable without nuclear weapons.
9. because disarmament and non-proliferation are
inextricably linked to development, human rights and peace.
10. because banning
nuclear tests would greatly contribute to global efforts to curb the
proliferation of nuclear weapons.
11.
because nuclear
proliferation hangs like the sword of Damocles over our heads.
12.
because the
Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) is central to nuclear disarmament
and non-proliferation.
13.
because there is a
rising chorus demanding action on nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation.
14.
because the resources
it will free up could fight global.
15.
because we are serious
about the future of humankind.
16.
because nuclear
weapons are more dangerous than any problem they seek to solve.
17.
because radiation
released by nuclear weapons is passed on from generation to generation.
18.
because we cannot
afford 20,000+ nuclear weapons.
19.
because we want to
avoid regional nuclear arms races.
20.
because while nuclear
weapons exist, accidents can happen.
21.
because nuclear
weapons could kill millions in one go.
22.
because the $12
trillion spent on nuclear weapons since 1945 could have eliminated poverty and
other social problems.
23.
because 7 billion
people are at risk.
24.
because it would be a
turning point in human history.
25.
because imagining a
world without nuclear weapons is no longer a dream but an actual possibility.
26.
because 113 countries
are already part of Nuclear Weapon Free Zones.
27.
because after 5
decades of talks it's time for nuclear testing to be banned.
28.
because bold steps now
will hasten the possibility of a nuclear weapons free world.
29.
because nuclear
weapon’s very existence = more chance of use in war, terrorism or by accident.
30.
because in addition to
killing millions, a nuclear war would cause an environmental crisis of epic
proportions.
31.
because while many
nuclear stocks are safeguarded, others are vulnerable to theft.
32.
because we cannot wait
for a perfect security environment to come along, rather advancing disarmament
will promote security.
33.
because the
opportunity for nuclear non-proliferation is now.
34.
because many nuclear
weapons today would explode with up to 100 times the force of the bomb dropped
on Hiroshima.
35.
because nuclear
weapons have so far made 104 million m³ of radioactive waste.
36.
because using nuclear
weapons against another nuclear weapons state is suicidal and immoral against a
non- nuclear weapons state.
37.
because as long as
there are weapons there is conflict and as long as there is conflict, the human
race suffers.
38.
because love, empathy,
collaboration, understanding, generosity, unity, forgiveness, goodwill,
kindness, caring, reason, and compassion are answers, not weapons of mass
destruction.
39.
because without
nuclear weapons, there can be no nuclear war.
40.
because we must make
it possible for future generations to live in PEACE.
41.
because the future of
our world depends on sustainable development for the preservation of lives and
families, not building nuclear weapons.
42.
because life is worth
more than weapons; one can replace a weapon but can’t replace a human life that
is lost.
43.
because more than 3
billion young people in the world are under 25 – they deserve a fresh start in
a safer world without nuclear weapons.
44.
because our past is
reason enough.
45.
because wars are the
most inhuman thing that exist on Earth and there is no convincing reason why
they still exist.
I ask: If not us,
who? If not now, when? These are the questions asked by those who have no
choice. That means all of us should be asking them..!
