Indiska forskare mot kärnvapen

Genom gästboken på vår hemsida har vi fått kontakt med en grupp forskare i Indien som organiserar en rörelse mot kärnvapen. Man välkomnar denna viktiga manifestation för kärnvapenmotståndet! Ett tag fick de styrande i Indien frågan att framstå som en nord-syd konflikt: de forna imperialistmakternas hycklande motstånd mot att fattiga länder skulle få samma status. Genom förankring hos ett inhemskt forskarkollektiv får saken en annan dimension.

Vår förening har tagit kontakt med initiativtagarna och erbjudit samarbete och stöd.

Du kan läsa utdrag ur deras program här nedanför och även besöka deras hemsida.

Aims and Objectives:

Indian Scientists Against Nuclear Weapons will be a knowledge-based organisation

  1. To bring together Indian scientists and technologists in the task of halting and rolling back the development of nuclear weapons in South Asia and their abolition throughout the world.
  2. To carry on a sustained campaign to prevent nuclear weaponisation in India and South Asia.
  3. To inform all sections of the public, the government, parliament and the media of the dangers posed by nuclear weapons as weapons of mass destruction, their induction and deployment and their potential use, deliberately or accidentally and to use the scientific knowledge and expertise of the members towards this end.
  4. To work with all other organisations in India that are also against nuclear weaponisation in South Asia and support broad coalitions that can strengthen the resistance to nuclear weapons.
  5. To promote the aim of peaceful co-existence of all peoples and nations in South Asia and to work with all organizations from countries neighbouring India, particularly those of fellow scientists, that share these aims and objectives.
  6. In addition, in the short-term, to discuss, explore and suggest such partial measures as may be feasible to promote this objective, using in particular direct contacts among the scientific communities of India and its neighbours.
  7. To take a principled stand of opposing and exposing the nature, consequences and implications of the unequal global nuclear bargain, and all unequal treaties and arrangements in the nuclear field.
  8. To engage in dialogue and co-operate and work with all other organisations in India and abroad that support the genuine global abolition of nuclear weapons and support and participate in broad coalitions that work to achieve this aim.
