Africa: Biological Weapons 'Must Not Only Be Unthinkable but Also Impossible': [UN News] The world came together 50 years ago to ban biological weapons and in today's volatile geopolitical climate we can ill-afford to let this moral safeguard "erode", the UN's High Representative for Disarmament Affairs said on Wednesday. http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TJmwf1 #Disarmament #BiologicalWeapons #Africa #UN #GlobalSecurity
this report by the Ukrainian think tank, #CenterForDefenseReforms,is a real scandal:
it says #Pugwash - the 1997 Peace Nobel Prize #Disarmament org founded in 1957 as a result of the #RussellEinsteinManifesto - is "a cover for #RussianSecretServices"
A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt
In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.
The first is freedom of speech and expression — everywhere in the world.
The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way — everywhere in the world.
The third is freedom from want — which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants — everywhere in the world.
The fourth is freedom from fear — which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor — anywhere in the world.
That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation. That kind of world is the very antithesis of the so-called new order of tyranny which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933-1945)

Kurdish leader Ocalan issues message from prison, urging PKK to disarm to make peace with Turkey https://www.byteseu.com/785800/ #AbdullahOcalan #DevletBahçeli #disarmament #GeneralNews #HoshyarMahmudZebari #Islam #KurdistanWorkers’Party #MiddleEast #Politics #prisons #RaceAndEthnicity #RecepTayyipErdoğan #SelahattinDemirtaş #Turkey #TurkeyGovernment #WarAndUnrest #WorldNews
The #PKK was born in the 20th century—the most intense century of violence in history—amidst the conditions created by two world wars, the Cold War, the suppression of freedoms, and above all, the denial of Kurdish identity.
In terms of theory, programme, strategy, and tactics, it was profoundly influenced by the reality of the century’s real-socialist system. However, the collapse of real socialism in the 1990s due to internal reasons, along with the dissolution of denial of identity policies in the country and advancements in freedom of expression, led the PKK into a state of meaninglessness and excessive repetition. Consequently, like similar movements, it has completed its lifespan, making its dissolution necessary.
Throughout a history spanning over 1,000 years, Turks and Kurds have maintained an alliance—largely based on voluntary cooperation—to preserve their co-existence and withstand hegemonic powers.
The last 200 years of capitalist modernity have aimed to dismantle this alliance. The affected forces, aligned with class interests, have primarily served this goal. This process accelerated with the Republic’s assimilationist interpretations. Today, our essential duty is to reorganise this fragile historical relationship in a spirit of fraternity, without disregarding faiths.
The emergence and widespread support of the PKK—the longest and most comprehensive uprising and armed movement in the history of the Republic—stemmed from the closure of democratic political channels.
The inevitable result of an ultra-nationalist trajectory—such as demands for a separate nation-state, #federalism , administrative #autonomy , or culturalist solutions—fails to provide an answer to historical social sociology.
Respect for identities, the right to #freeexpression , and the ability to organise democratically—allowing every segment of society to shape its own socio-economic and political structures—can only be realised through the existence of a democratic society and political space.
The second century of the (Turkish) Republic can only attain lasting and fraternal continuity if it is crowned with democracy. There is no path outside of #democracy for system-building and implementation. There cannot be another way. Democratic reconciliation is the fundamental method.
The language of this era of peace and democratic society must also be developed in accordance with reality.
In light of the current atmosphere shaped by the call made by Mr Devlet Bahçeli, the will expressed by Mr President, and the positive approaches of other political parties towards this call, I am making a call for #disarmament and assuming its historic responsibility.
Just as every contemporary organisation and party whose existence has not been forcibly ended would voluntarily do, gather your congress and take the decision to integrate with the state and society: all groups must lay down their arms, and the PKK must dissolve itself.
I extend my greetings to all segments of society who believe in #coexistence and heed my call.

Phys.orgPeriodic reminder: the @opcw is an important international organization working in #disarmament, in particular of #ChemicalWeapons, but that doesn’t mean you have to be a chemist or a disarmament expert to be eligible or for there to be interesting #opportunities for you!
Here’s the top level link to the #OPCW jobs page. I’m also going to point out some current openings in the thread below. #GetFediHired #NowHiring #DenHaag #DisarmamentJobs

jobs.opcw.orgThe Conference, held in the Kingdom of #Morocco, an African State Party, underscored the importance of ensuring that the benefits of #ArtificialIntelligence are accessible to all regions, including #Africa. Participants noted the potential for AI to support capacity-building initiatives, such as those of the #OPCW Africa Programme, and to further strengthen the capabilities of developing States Parties in implementing the #ChemicalWeaponsConvention. #disarmament #ArmsControl

The programme is available online (pdf) which can give a sense of who is speaking and what about. The rapporteurs have a lot of work to do for tomorrow and for something which we’ll be able to share with other delegations.

PressenzaOne day, a “skin” of humanity & solidarity will cover the planet, making borders, contradictions & suffering disappear. The actions & thoughts of today’s men & women of peace & non-violence trace the lines along which this “skin” will be sewn back together. The symbolic act of Ny-Ålesund marked an important point in this process, moving the map of #peace & #nonviolence that Human Beings have made to date to the far north.
