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.

Protestors demonstrate outside the Chilcot Inquiry as Tony Blair is cross-examined for a second time. London, UK 21.01.2011

This is part a large set which I shot at the protest yesterday outside the Iraq War Inquiry headed by Sir John Chilcot, where ex-prime minister Tony Blair was recalled to re-examine his original evidence in the light of new revelations which conflict with what Blair stated at his first interrogation in 2010.
Though not as large in numbers this time, the protestors were enthusiastic and high-spirited, and several photo-friendly stunts took place along side impassioned speeches to the crowd by Andrew Murray from stopwar.org.uk, Jeremy Corbyn MP who is a leading light in the cross-parliamentary anti-war group, veteran peace campaigner and vice-president of the Campaign For Nuclear Disarmament Bruce Kent, and others including Peter Brierley whose son Shaun (Sean?) was killed in Iraq fighting Blair's illegal war.
The Biological Weapons Convention entered into force on 26 March 1975. This year therefore marks the 40th anniversary of this landmark Convention, the first to effectively prohibit an entire category of weapons of mass destruction. On 30 March 2015, a commemorative event was held in the Council Chamber in the Palais des Nations in Geneva, the same room in which the Committee of the Conference on Disarmament negotiated the BWC from 1969 to 1971.
Ambassador Robert, Wood, U..S. Representative to the Conference on Disarmament and U.S. Special Representative for Biological and Toxin Weapons (BWC) Convention Issues, delivered remarks for the United States, which along with the UK and Russia is one of the three depository governments for the BWC treaty.
Other speakers at the event included: Michael Møller, Acting Director-General, United Nations Office at Geneva, Ambassador Mazlan Muhammad, Permanent Representative of Malaysia to the CD, Chairman of the 2015 Meeting of States Parties to the BWC, Angela Kane, High Representative for Disarmament Affairs, Mr Mikhail Ulyanov, Director, Department for Non-Proliferation and Arms Control, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, Dr John R. Walker, UK Foreign and Commonwealth, Ambassador Masood Khan, Director-General of the Institute for Strategic Studies Islamabad, Pakistan and President of the Sixth BWC Review Conference (2006), Dr Caitriona McLeish, Senior Fellow, University of Sussex.

25 July 2011. Kodiel: Distribution of 40,000 liters of water among the local community in El Srief (North Darfur), that includes Shiero, Metwier, Eata Ibrahim, Ahmed, Ali and Kodiel villages. The nearest water point is 15 kilometers away and the women have to spend 6 hours a day to collect the water for their families. Due to the drought, the community leaders report that the lack of water is severe in the area and it specially affects children and sick people.
This water distribution was part of a DDR (Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration) outreach activity, organized by UNAMID, with the support of UNDP, UNICEF, North Sudan DDR Commission and the local NGO Friends of Peace and Development Organization (FPDO). The DDR activity promoted messages of disarmament and security arm control among the population, historically controlled by SLA / Free Will faction and currently with few individual armed actions.

A crowd of upwards of 1,000 begin gathering at the U.S. Capitol on a rainy Mother’s Day May 10, 1981 before beginning a march to Lafayette Park to advocate for nuclear disarmament and against an increase in military spending.
The rally was sponsored by the Mother’s Day Coalition for Nuclear Disarmament, composed of 22 groups that sought to reclaim the original purpose of Mother’s Day as an antiwar day.
Speakers blasted the administration of President Ronald Reagan.
Barry Commoner, an environmentalist and antiwar leader, told the crowd, “There is no survivor in a nuclear war.” The only war citizens need to fight “is against Reagan and his Democratic allies,” Commoner continued.
Beulah Sanders, a former chair of the National Welfare Rights Organization loudly proclaimed, “We do not want money spent for nuclear weapons. That money needs to be spent right here so our people can survive.”
Sanders also took aim at Nancy Reagan.
“And I wish Nancy a happy Mother’s Day. She doesn’t have to worry about a decent house, heat or hot water. She doesn’t have to worry about a job or food. But here on Mother’s Day a lot of us are sad because we don’t have it,” said Sanders.
Mother’s Day was selected for the protest to reclaim the history of Mother's Day, which was first organized in America in 1872 by Julia Ward Howe, a poet and women's suffragist, as a day dedicated to peace.
The "Appeal to womanhood throughout the world" (later known as "Mother's Day Proclamation") was written by Howe in 1870 and was an appeal for women to unite for peace in the world.
Howe's "Appeal to womanhood" was a pacifist reaction to the carnage of the American Civil War and the six-month Franco-Prussian War. The appeal was tied to Howe's feminist conviction that women had a responsibility to shape their societies at the political level.
In 1872 Howe asked for the celebration of a "Mother's Day for Peace" on 2 June of every year, but she was unsuccessful.
Laura Hepner, a participant in the 1981 demonstration, explained, “The woman felt that mothers had a particular responsibility to speak out against the war.”
The modern Mother's Day, was established by Anna Jarvis 36 years later. While the day she established was different in significance from what Howe had proposed, Anna Jarvis was reportedly inspired by her mother's work with Howe.

My friend and erstwhile colleague Peter Taylor is the deserved recipient of the 2008 James Cameron Memorial Award for his outstanding contribution to British journalism - specifically, his television work on terrorism over the past 35 years, which began with the IRA and continues with Al Qaida. He has also written a number of books and numerous articles on the subject.
James Cameron (1911-85) was one of the finest journalists Britain has ever produced, whose commitment to truth and reporting reality was renowned. He was a foreign correspondent, war reporter and polemicist who for many years worked for the News Chronicle, and then The Guardian. He also made a number of documentaries for the BBC and, way back in the 1950s, was a founder of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. Here is Peter at the ceremony in London with Moni Cameron, James' widow.
Oh - and see Peter in a little local difficulty during the Northern Ireland 'Troubles' here. He's on the left of picture. And two of his books - Families at War and Brits: the War Against the IRA - are here

Members of the delegation from the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom are seen at the White House in Washington on January 8, 1932 as they called on President Hoover with disarmament petitions gathered on their recent continental tour.
They will present the petitions to Dr. Mary Woolley of Massachusetts, who will take them to the conference at Geneva.
Left to right: Katherine Strong; Theresa Hirshi Russell; Dorothy Detzer, executive secretary of the league; Emma Wold; and Anna Boddanoff.
Russell was also the wife of Charles Edward Russell, a founding member of the NAACP and muckraking journalist.
Theresa Russell, along with Detzer, was an active participant is the Washington, D.C. campaign to end Jim Crow in the U.S. Capitol public restaurants in 1934.
She was part of an interracial group composed of her husband Charles; Harland Glazier, secretary of the socialist party in D.C.; and Ralph Bunche, professor of political science at Howard University that on March 13th sought service at the Jim Crow House of Representatives public restaurant.
There were a number of such groups that tried to use direct action to desegregate the facilities in March 1934.
In Russell’s case, their party was served without incident.
Later, she went with others to the office of Rep. Lindsay Warren who had ordered the barring of African Americans and encountered Warren’s confidential aide.
Warren’s secretary told her that the policy was not to serve black people “and that’s the end of it.” Ms. Russell replied, “It is not the end, it is only the beginning.”

Greenpeace Australia Pacific vessels greet the Peace Boat as it arrives in Sydney Harbour as part of its 'Making Waves' tour to promote nuclear disarmament.
Memo was the bulletin of Women’s Strike for Peace, a group which sprang up almost overnight staging a national demonstration of 50,000 women and supporters to demand nuclear disarmament in 1961.
The group staged a number of high-profile demonstrations and was at least partially responsible for the 1963 Nuclear Test Ban Treaty between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. WSP was also notable for its leader Dagmar Wilson’s skillful rebuke of the House Un-American Activities Committee.
WSP would become early opponents of the Vietnam War and continue its opposition to the Gulf War and for nuclear disarmament in the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s.
Prominent members included founder Dagmar Wilson, U.S. Rep. Bella Abzug, Barbara Bick who edited the group’s bulletin and Edith Villastrigo who served as WSP’s legislative director and who was previously the personal secretary to William Z Foster, head of the Communist Party USA.
The group occupied a unique position as a women’s organization between the first and second wave feminism.

Leobardo Pérez Jiménez ‘Árbol de la Vida’, (Tree of Life), Parque Bicenenario Boston, (Bicentennial Park Boston), Medellín, Colombia
La escultura fue construída con 27.398 armas blancas recogidas en La Semana de Desarme. La obra es compuesta por 82 cuerpos de hombres y mujeres que se entrelazan para formar un árbol. Una placa cita al Checo Milan Kundera: La vida es la memoria del pueblo, la conciencia colectiva de la continuidad histórica, el modo de pensar y de vivir.
Tree of Life represents the freedom and value for life, and symbolizes peace and reconciliation in the city. The 6.5 m. sculpture consists of 82 bodies of men and women intertwined and growing together. It was built with 27,398 sharp weapons recently collected in a process of disarmament
in Medellin’s neighborhoods. This was the final result of a one week event, in which the municipality had motivated the participation of the citizens to search together for alternatives to prevent and overcome violence in the city. (www.scribd.com/doc/124487317/Infusing-Citizenship-Through...)
The plaque quotes Czech Milan Kundera: Life is the memory of the people, the collective consciousness of historical continuity, the way of thinking and living

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.
