Montreal Declaration for a Nuclear Fission-Free World - NEWS

Peace Action
August 16, 2016

     Following presentations and discussions in Peace and Planet’s August 10 assembly at the World Social Forum in Montreal, the following Declaration was adopted. The process at the WSF was interesting, and this declaration owes its genesis to two meetings on nuclear issues prior to our assembly. This is significant in that the World Social Forum, which covers many peace, human rights and environmental issues, has not previously had an ongoing focus on nuclear issues.
      We invite all people, groups and organizations involved in the effort for a world without nuclear fission and uranium mining, to commit themselves to this effort. We also ask them to endorse this declaration and to transmit it widely in their networks.
     This declaration is partly inspired by the Tokyo Appeal issued by the First Thematic World Social Form for a Nuclear‐Free World held in Tokyo and Fukushima in March 2016.
