To whom it may concern.
Miss INGEBORG RANUM was employed in the office of 29 Mobile Disarmament Unit from 16 May until 1 July 1945. She joined the clerical staff of this Unit voluntarily within a few days of the arrival of the Allied Military Mission in Trondheim at a time of extreme pressure of office work.
Her office experience was of the greatest value over this difficult period. Her work was invariably of a very high standard and was always most cheerfully given.
In addition to filing, registration and typing work, her knowledge of German as well as English proved of the greatest assistance at a time when interpreters and translators were extremely short in the Zone.
I am most grateful for the very valuable service she rendered so cheerfully and willingly and with all members of my Unit wish her the best of good fortune in the future.
Folkets Hus, Trondheim.
7 October 1945.

On October 24, 2020, the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons reached the required 50 states parties for its entry into force, after Honduras ratified just one day after Jamaica and Nauru submitted their ratifications. In 90 days, the treaty will enter into force, cementing a categorical ban on nuclear weapons, 75 years after their first use.

The United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL), which was established in 2003, conducted one of the most successful disarmament campaigns in the history of the United Nations. By the end of 2004, it had disarmed more than 100,000 ex-combatants, including more than 10,000 child soldiers, and successfully reintegrated them back into civilian life. This helped create an environment conducive for the return of refugees and displaced people, the promotion of the rule of law and the peaceful holding of democratic elections. Here, ex-combatants hand over their weapons to UN peacekeepers at Camp Schieffelin, a cantonment site close to the capital, Monrovia.

Disarming and demobilizing ex-combatants and reintegrating them into society as civilians is fundamental to establishing peace and strengthening the rule of law in conflict-affected countries. These activities lay the groundwork for safeguarding and sustaining the communities to which these individuals return, while building capacity for long-term peace, security and development. Here, weapons are destroyed in Muramvya, Burundi.

The heyday of the Student Peace Union (SPU) was between 1959 and 1963 when a nuclear test ban treaty was signed between the Soviet Union and the U.S.
The SPU led numerous campus meetings, rallies and demonstrations against nuclear testing during that period.
The group spearheaded national demonstrations in Washington, D.C. in November 1961. A second “Washington Action” drew 5,000 to the city in February 1962 in a protest sponsored by Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy (SANE), A tiny Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and the SPU.
In October 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis, the group spearheaded a demonstration of about 2,000 students in Washington, D.C. against the burgeoning confrontation that appeared to be leading to nuclear war.
During its peak in 1963, the group had about 3,500 members on dozens of campuses nationwide.
The signing of a partial nuclear test ban treaty in 1963 caused the group to lose focus and its leadership fell victim to factional struggles between the so-called Shachmanites (who advocated some type of “third way” between the U.S. and the Soviet Union) and another leftist tendency that called for a labor party.
The group dissolved in 1964, but was resurrected as a smaller group based on smaller college campuses while SDS took off on the larger campuses. The new SPU ultimately merged with the campus Americans for Democratic Action to form the Independent Student Union in 1967.
Its brief existence on the activism stage was marked by its spearheading campus activism against nuclear testing and nuclear war and for popularizing in the U.S. the peace symbol.
The peace symbol was designed in 1958 by British artist Gerald Holtom for the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), which was having its first major march in England. Holtom explained that the symbol superimposed the semaphore letters “N” and “D” over each other. The SPU spread the symbol across U.S. campuses.
The button depicted above is likely from its second incarnation of the group.

The button was an Internet find and was scanned in 2017.

On 8 June 1987, the New Zealand Nuclear Free Zone, Disarmament, and Arms Control Act was enacted, which established the New Zealand Nuclear Free Zone.
The Act intended 'to establish in New Zealand a Nuclear Free Zone, (and) to promote and encourage an active and effective contribution by New Zealand to the essential process of disarmament and international arms control'. This made New Zealand the first Western-allied country to officially ban nuclear-armed and powered warships from its territory.
This legislation capped off a long chain of events, of which there were two key issues. First, was the breakdown of the ANZUS alliance which resulted from a disagreement between New Zealand and the US on allowing nuclear-powered ships into New Zealand waters. Second, was the 1985 bombing of Greenpeace's ship the Rainbow Warrior in Auckland Harbour. This was an act of espionage by the French government in response to Greenpeace's intentions to interfere in a nuclear test in the Pacific.
These pages come from a file created at the New Zealand Embassy in Paris. Formerly secret, it was opened in 2007 by MFAT as it does not contain any classified material.
The file consists of mail from mainly French individuals and organisations to the New Zealand Ambassador and Prime Minister David Lange, from between July and December 1985; mostly in sympathy and support. However, as this anonymous threat shows, there were also people staunchly in favour of nuclear testing and condemning New Zealand's prosecution of the two French government agents responsible for the Rainbow Warrior bombing.
The threat (right) has been made of cut-up newsprint, stuck to paper and then photocopied and posted. The Embassy took the threat seriously, and copied in Wellington and the Diplomatic Protection Service. The attached memo (left) provided a translation of the threat for non-French speakers.
Anti-nuclear sentiment in New Zealand ran high in the 1980s, and New Zealand's nuclear-free zone as enacted in 1987 is still intact today.

US President Bill Clinton banned soldiers from having personal sidearms on base for self defense in March 1993, making even US Solders easy targets for criminals in a secure US military base. Why: because the New World Order hates and fears those who are its most faithful servants.
While waiting for armed police to save the unarmed-untrusted military: 12 die. DC Police, FBI, Mayor all pat each other on back as if there great.

The Conference on Disarmament held the opening Plenary of its 2013 Session on January 22. “We begin the New Year with renewed commitment to the goal of a world without nuclear weapons – a goal which my President has made a hallmark of his international security agenda,” Ambassador Laura E. Kennedy, U.S. Permanent Representative to the CD told the body.
“Despite the challenges facing this body, the goals which this Conference was designed to tackle are worth fighting for,” she added, strongly reiterating U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon’s call for an end to the stalemate at the CD.
