First, we have some big news! The annual DPI-NGO conference, held this year in Mexico City from September 9th-11th, will focus on the issues of Disarmament, Peace and Security. Building towards the conference, WFUNA is sponsoring a contest: Students for a Nuclear Weapons Free World. Students are encouraged to design/develop a local campaign that educates, invigorates, and mobilizes your community (local, regional, national, online, or anywhere) especially youth, to become a part of the global movement to free the world of nuclear weapons. Winners will win a trip to the DPI-NGO conference in Mexico! Check out the disarmament hub website for details. Feel free to send me any questions/comments regarding the contest, the disarmament hub website, or anything else regarding disarmament and arms control, I'm looking forward to seeing the contest submissions!

Our First Blog Post!
This blog is designed to keep everyone updated about what is happening at the UN and surrounding NGO community concerning proliferation issues, disarmament and arms control. As the disarmament coordinator at the World Federation of United Nations Associations (WFUNA)- A People's Movement for the United Nations- I will also make sure that you are all in the loop about what we have going on here as well.

Hello David,
ReplyDeleteYour blog is a very good initiative. I fully support your work against n-weapons.
I have seen two really good films about this subject: Threads (BBC 1984) and The Day After (1983 ABC). Both are relativley realistic. In addition to this, Dr Strangelove and War Game are good...
You can find both two first mentioned films on YouTube. I wish everyone saw them at least once during their life...
Even Reagan was shocked when he saw the first film. He changed his attitude towards n-weapons quite a bit afterwards...
Good luck with your important work,
Cheers,
Mvh Henrik Kindblom
