Subject: (abolition-usa) Peace Sunday Program and Declaration, Walk schedule, Nichidatsu speech

I have posted as a fax file the Peace Sunday Progam, and the Declaration
regarding post-Sept.11 situation being circulated, at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gcsen/message/3  with the following remarks:

"The attached efax file contains the four page program for the December 16,
2001, fourth annual Peace Sunday event in Los Angeles sponsored by the Unity
and Diversity World Council and/at the AGAPE Center which very kindly
welcomed last minute arrangements, courtesy of UDC's Leland Stewart and
Tahdi Blackstone of The Aware Show (radio) and "Global Citizens for a
Sustainable Existence Now!", for participation of the Hiroshima Flame
http://www.dharmawalk.org as part of the Interfaith Ceremony where the
twelve candles were lit by the Hiroshima Flame.

"The fifth page of the attachment is a Declaration regarding the
developments
since September 11th which the UDC is circulating for signatories."

The 4pp handout/flyer handed out at Peace Sunday about the 2002 Hiroshima
Flame Interfaith Pilgrimage is posted with latest schedule at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/star-wars-dharma-walk/message/45 with the
comments:

"The attached efax file is a 4pp handout about the walk handed out at Peace
Sunday December 16th in Los Angeles by Jun-san on occasion of Hiroshima
Flame igniting Interfaith Candle Ceremony there.  The handout contains
latest walk schedule revision including shortening of California route to
Feb11-14, arriving by bus to San Francisco Feb.10, walking SF Feb.11,
walking Berkeley Feb.12, walking Oakland Feb.13, and walking to Livermore
National Laboratories in Livermore CA on Feb.14"

- --------------

The very important newly translated speech, "Nuclear Technologies and the
Future of Humanity", with deep insights of history and human nature, by the
late most venerable Nichidatsu Fujii whom Mahatma Gandhi called "Guruji",
which was handed out Peace Sunday to a few people along with above mentioned
flyer/handout, and which will be widely distributed by this Interfaith
Pilgrimage next year, is posted as an 18pp efax file at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sun-reach/message/17 with the comments:

"The attached 18pp efax file contains the final copy before printing of the
historic speech by the most venerable Nichidatsu Fujii entitled "Nuclear
Technologies and the Future of Humanity".  There may be a couple of minor
changes between this and final copy distributed in Lumbini at the Buddha's
Birthplace Shanti Stupa dedication/opening ceremony in November 2001 so
after I have a chance for close review I will post final translation as
email text to this and other lists as well.

"The attached speech has many important insights applicable to today's world
situation from this teacher highly regarded by Mahatma Gandhi."

since above mentioned efax files are not small files I am sending this
reference more widely to show where they can be accessed rather than
emailing them more widely.

>               LOW-YIELD NUCLEAR DEVICE CONSIDERED
>         Associated Press -- Wednesday December 19, 2001
>                       by H. Josef Hebert
>
>    WASHINGTON (AP) - Defense officials are considering the possibility
>of developing a low-yield nuclear device that would be able to destroy
>deeply buried stockpiles of chemical or biological weapons.
>    Such a move would require Congress to lift a 1994 ban on designing
>new nuclear warheads.
>    In a report to Congress, the Defense Department argues that
>conventional weapons, while effective for many underground enemy
>targets, would be unable to destroy the most deeply protected facilities
>containing biological or chemical agents.
>    In recent years there has been a growing unease that terror groups
>or unfriendly, newly nuclear-capable states may be hiding weapons of
>mass destruction, including chemical and biological weapons, in deep
>underground facilities.
>    In the report sent to Congress in October, the Defense Department
>said a low-yield, less than five-kiloton, nuclear warhead coupled with
>new technology that allows bombs to penetrate deep underground before
>exploding could prove effective in destroying biological and chemical
>agents.
>    Although not formally engaged in developing a new warhead design,
>nuclear scientists ``have completed initial studies on how existing
>nuclear weapons can be modified'' for use to destroy deeply buried
>targets containing chemical or biological weapons, the report said.
>Studies include ``synergies of nuclear weapons yield, penetration,
>accuracy and tactics,'' it said.
>    Conventional weapons cannot destroy the most deeply buried chemical
>and biological holding facilities, the report concludes, but a low-yield
>nuclear device could do the job. It notes that the current nuclear
>arsenal was ``not designed with this mission in mind.''
>    The report was submitted in response to a congressional directive
>that the Pentagon report what it was doing to develop ways to attack
>stores of chemical and biological weapons and also contains updates on a
>number of programs involving conventional weapons.
>    The report shows the Bush administration views a nuclear strike as
>``an intrinsic part'' of dealing with deeply entombed enemy targets and
>``is essentially doing all the preparation'' for a future full-scale
>research and development program for a new mini-nuclear warhead, said
>Martin Butcher, director of security programs at the Physicians for
>Social Responsibility.
>    This kind of warhead is ``the dirtiest kind of all. It's highly
>radioactive,'' said Butcher, whose group has been a leading voice in the
>nuclear nonproliferation debate. Development of such a bomb would send
>the wrong signals and would add to the risk of nuclear proliferation, he
>said.
>    A low-yield nuclear weapon generally is considered to be no more
>than five kilotons. By comparison, the two atomic bombs dropped on Japan
>at the end of World War II were about 15 kilotons each.
>    The report sent to key committees in Congress by Defense Secretary
>Donald H. Rumsfeld in October provides a general outline of U.S.
>capabilities for dealing with what defense officials believe is a
>growing gap in U.S. military response.
>    The House International Relations Committee is pressing for renewed
>U.N. inspections in Iraq on the belief that it has rebuilt its nuclear,
>biological and chemical weapons programs since President Saddam Hussein
>government stopped allowing inspections in 1998.
>    Notes and diagrams found in houses vacated by al-Qaida fighters in
>Afghanistan also point to an effort to create weapons of mass
>destruction.
>    The report said enhancements expected to be completed by 2005 to an
>array of conventional weapons, including laser-guided bombs and cruise
>missiles, should be able to destroy most underground facilities. But it
>maintains such weapons cannot penetrate the deepest facilities.
>    The report acknowledges that any decision to proceed with a nuclear
>device for attacking underground targets would be considered within the
>administration's broader plans for the nuclear stockpile and overall
>nuclear weapons policy.
>    It said a joint nuclear-planning board already has been established
>to examine the use of nuclear weapons as bunker-busters.
>    The idea of using low-yield nuclear warheads to attack deeply buried
>enemy targets has been discussed for years. It was the subject of a
>classified study concluded in 1997 and has been frequently discussed by
>nuclear weapons scientists at the Los Alamos and Sandia national
>laboratories.
>    The essence of the report sent to Congress was reported Tuesday by
>The Albuquerque Journal. A copy was distributed by Nuclear Watch of New
>Mexico, based in Santa Fe, on its Web site.
>    The report had been requested by Sens. John Warner, R-Va., and Wayne
>Allard, R-Colo., and was part of this year's defense authorization
>legislation.

>
> * The NPT contains the only binding commitment to nuclear disarmament in a
> multilateral treaty on the part of the Nuclear Weapon States in Article 6.
>
> Article VI of the NPT:"Each of the Parties to the Treaty undertakes to
pursue
> negotiations in good faith on effective measures relating to cessation of
the
> nuclear arms race at an early date and to nuclear disarmament, and on a
> treaty on general and complete disarmament under strict and effective
> international control."
>
> *  The NPT was opened for signature 1 July 1968 in London, Moscow and
> Washington-the United Kingdom, the USSR and the United States having been
> designated the depositary Governments.
>
> * The NPT entered into force 5 March 1970.
>
> * The NPT has been signed and ratified by all Member States to the United
> Nations with the exception of four states: Cuba, India, Israel, and
Pakistan.
>
> * The 187 governments that have ratified this treaty meet every five
years at
> Review Conference to assess the implementation of the treaty.
>
> * Originally intended as a temporary treaty, the NPT stipulates that 25
years
> after entry into force, a conference shall be convened to decide whether=
 or
> not the Treaty shall continue indefinitely, or be extended for an=
 additional
> fixed period or periods.
>
> * After much heated debate, the 1995 Review Conference indefinitely=
 extended
> the treaty -- a decision that was tied to a package of decisions.  One of
the
> decisions was aimed at Strengthening the Review Process of the Treaty and
> provides for three additional NPT meetings between Review Conferences,
called
> Preparatory Committee Meetings or "PrepComs".
>
> *  Five years later, at the 2000 Review Conference all 187 governments -
> including the Nuclear Five - agreed to a  13 point action plan for the
> systematic and progressive disarmament of the world's nuclear weapons.
>
>
>
> 4.  The 13 practical steps for the systematic and progressive disarmament=
 of
> the world's nuclear weapons:
>
> 1. Signing the CTBT *
>
> The importance and urgency of signatures and ratifications, without delay
and
> without conditions and in accordance with constitutional processes, to
> achieve the early entry into force of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban
> Treaty.
>
> 2. Stopping Testing
>
> A moratorium on nuclear-weapon-test explosions or any other nuclear
> explosions pending entry into force of that Treaty.
>
> 3. Negotiation

> 5.  Why is the NPT important?
>
> * The NPT is the Cornerstone of the Global Nuclear Disarmament Regime. The
> 1970 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty is one of the cornerstones on which
all
> international disarmament efforts are based. This almost universal treaty
> contains a solemn promise for negotiations on nuclear abolition in
Article 6.
>
> * The International Court of Justice ruling in July of 1996 found that
States
> had an obligation to negotiate and complete a treaty banning all nuclear
> weapons. The court was unanimous in its interpretation of Article 6 of the
> NPT, making this treaty and the forum offered by its meetings central to
> efforts for nuclear disarmament. (For a complete accounting of the ICJ
> ruling, contact the Lawyers' Committee on Nuclear Policy, 211 East 43rd
> Street, Suite 120, New York, NY 10017; tel: [phone]; [e-mail])
>
> * The NPT Prep Com will direct the outcome of the upcoming Review=
 Conference
> in 2005. We have one 4-week opportunity every five years to encourage the
> world's governments to act on nuclear disarmament, and general and=
 complete
> disarmament. PrepComs set the agenda and tone of these Review Conference
> meetings.  The purpose of the Preparatory Committee meetings would be to
> consider principles, objectives and ways in order to promote the full
> implementation of the Treaty, as well as its universality, and to make
> recommendations thereon to the Review Conference. These include those
> identified in the Decision on principles and objectives for nuclear
> non-proliferation and disarmament, adopted on 11 May 1995. These meetings
> should also make the procedural preparations for the next Review=
 Conference.
>
> *  The NPT PrepCom represents one of the best opportunities for NGOs  and
> individuals to voice support for the complete abolition of nuclear=
 weapons.
> Non-governmental organizations will be allocated a meeting to address
> states-parties.
>
> * An international convention, or treaty, to abolish nuclear weapons will=
 be
> gained through states honoring their Article VI obligations to work for
> nuclear disarmament. NGOs prepared a draft Nuclear Weapons Convention -=
 see
> NWC at http://www.reachingcriticalwill.org
>
>
>
> 6.  What can be achieved at this NPT PrepCom?
>
> *  Renewing the commitments made in 2000, particularly on the 13 point
action
> plan for disarmament, will be an important element of this PrepCom.
>
> *  A new system of accountability will be tested at this first meeting of
NPT
> states parties after the successful 2000 Review Conference.   Due to an
> undertaking in 2000 to submit reports, governments for the first time will
> report on the implementation of Article VI and paragraph 4 (c) of the 1995
> Decision on "Principles and Objectives for Nuclear Non-Proliferation and
> Disarmament", and recalling the Advisory Opinion of the International=
 Court
> of Justice of 8 July 1996. This  assessment will be in light of the final
> document of the 2000 conference, of which its expectations of progress has
> not yet been met.
>
> * Party states will have to evaluate progress on nuclear disarmament and
> considered further measures to be taken in pursuit of their joint=
 initiative
> to achieve a nuclear-weapon-free world.
>
> * The PrepCom will consider specific substantive matters relating to the
> treaty's implementation, the strengthened review process, the 1995
> "principles and objectives," and the Resolution on the Middle East.
>
> * Pressure can be mounted on the United States to reverse their decision=
 to
> pull out of the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty (ABM) of 1972.
>
> *  Efforts to unblock the Conference on Disarmament will occur at the
PrepCom
> encouraging the CD to set up committees to "Deal with nuclear=
 disarmament",
> negotiate a treaty which bans fissile material and another that prevents=
 an
> arms race in outer space.
>
>
> 7.  What can NGOs do?
>
> * attend the NPT Preparatory Committee meeting in New York on April 8-19,
> 2002  to explain the issues, draw attention to some important problems and
> put pressure on the parties to achieve a successful outcome.

We need a champion in the Senate to stop George Bush from unilaterally pulling
out of the ABM treaty.  Lynne Woolsey has already taken that on in the House.
Will Senator Wellstone take the lead on this?  If so, I would be happy to
support your Campaign Countdown.  Sincerely, Alice Slater

Dear Alice Slater=20

In the discussion about the ABM-treaty  was untill now not  mentioned =
the  evident  violation of international law, that once again  the USA  =
shall commit , withdrawing  from the obligation of the treaty :

 The ABM - treaty was signed by USSR and USA in 26 may 1972, because the =
two states wanted " mindful of their obligations under Article VI of the =
Treaty on the Non- Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons .. achieve at the =
earliest possible date the cessation of the nuclear arms race and to =
take effective measures towards reductions in strategic arms, nuclear =
disarmament .. "=20

For this reason they agreed in Article XV "This treaty shall be of =
unlimited duration." Only in the case that "( a Party of the treaty ) =
decides that extraordinary events related to the subject matter of this =
treaty have jeopardised its supreme interests" it has the right to =
withdrawn from this Treaty.


The north American governments are looking since Mr Reagan for a way to =
get rid off the bindings and obligations of this treaty and the =
discussion about the Star-wars is much older than the terrorists =
activities of Mr. Bin Laden.=20

But in any case the reasons stated by Mr. Bush that "the September 11 =
terrorist attacks heightened the need for such a system( anti missiles =
system )" and that therefor the USA has the right to withdrawn from the =
ABM-treaty is not only bullshit ( sorry) but also illegal .=20

The September-attack may be an extraordinary event - but in any case the =
event relates not to the subject matter of the ABM- treaty .

Until now the USA- government tells ( I don't know for what reason) a =
lot of false stories about the terrorists,=20

1. They had not send letters with anthrax (WMD) -=20

2. They did not used or prepared nuclear attacks against USA=20

even this terrible event had not jeopardised Americans "supreme =
interest" in relation to  the ABM treaty.=20


Insomma, the September attack is a pretext not only to start war against =
all those other States , which ca in futur disurb  the approach to the =
energy ressources , but it is  also a  violation  the ABM-treaty.

Without the September attacks, it would have been very difficulty to =
Bush to explain to the american peoples the revoke of  the ABM - treaty =
. Or not?=20

It seems indispensable that an international independent group of =
persons , may be also a commission of the UN - , will start a research =
and report of all aspects of the current inyernational crisis , and =
especially with regards to the intention of the USA to start another  =
war against the IRAK. .
