No to NuclearWeapons! Photo by US Army
Did you know that eight countries have a total of almost 24,000 nuclear weapons?
Altogether, these arsenals have the destructive power to cause devastation equivalent to 400,000 Hiroshimas where more than 140,000 people died!
No I had no idea!
Exactly!
No way!
The 2010 NPT conference at the United Nations has to reach an agreement on a clear path towards abolition of nuclear weapons. And by 2020 we must realize the total abolition.
A great tool to reduce nuclear weapons is the Non-proliferation treaty (NPT ) and there‛s a review conference every 5 years.
I see…
But that‛s a huge threat to all of us! We need to get rid of them!
But – what can I do?
The International Trade Union Confederation is now making a big campaign on this including a petition.
Let‛s sign!
Cool! Let‛s join.
The ITUC is pretty big you know, representing 170 million workers in 157 countries all over the world.
Here you can read the petition and see what they ask for.
