The Nuclear Issue: Disarm and Live

On a planet without nuclear weapons and nuclear power plants

« Disarm and Live », beginning by liberating humankind from the threat of self-destruction by nuclear weapons, is the objective pursued by ACDN since its foundation in 1996 and by the international « Abolition 2000 » network. Now in 2009 it is more topical than ever.

ACT FOR TOMORROW

“Disarm and live” was the theme of the 3rd RID-NBC (Rally for International Disarmament, Nuclear, Biological and Chemical) organised on 9-11 May 2008 by ACDN, with the support of the city of Saintes (a member of the “Abolition 2000” network and of “Mayors for Peace”) of the Poitou-Charentes Region, and the collaboration of several NGOs.

The Rally brought together activists of some twenty nationalities, some from the Antipodes, to survey the current state of existing weapons and current or likely defense policies, to clarify objectives and steps to disarmament, and to see possibilities for “making an end to the nuclear threat”, and for “building a different kind of globalisation, a different world, and a different Europe”. Before the end of the gathering, the participants launched an appeal “for a Europe without nuclear weapons or nuclear power-plants”, in a totally nuclear-free world.
