The Committee is very glad to be able to publish it again. New attitudes, events and approaches make the reappearance of the Times especially needed and important now. At the United Nations it is now clear that disarmament and other core issues are inseparable. The UN has demonstrated this in actions on the Sustainable Development Goals, human rights, efforts to end conflicts, peacekeeping forces. and the existenial threat to the Earth from climate change. The relation to climate change and the sustainable development goals is both financial and intrinsic. Nations such as the United States, Russia and China are spending trillions of dollars to upgrade their nuclear arsenals. This money is being spent on weapons that it would be suicide to use. In other words, we are spending trillions of dollars on weapons we dare not use and not spending those funds on addressing climate change and the rest of the Global Goals. Also, there is always the temptation to use weapons on which so much treasure has been spent. President Trump has said, “If we have nuclear weapons why don’t we use them.” The temptation is to use what’s called small tactical nuclear weapons. Climate experts affirm that even a small exchange of nuclear weapons could produce catastrophic results to an already fragile climate system. The Secretary-General, the High Commissioner for Human Rights, other senior UN officials and national delegations have emphasized this aspect of disarmament in recent speeches. Recognition at the UN that disarmament and these issues are joined has also begun to offer a way out from the slow progress on disarmament at the United Nations in the last few years. It is relatively easy for the major nuclear powers to refuse to discuss disarmament alone at the UN, but harder for them to stay out of negotiations there on issues such as conflict resolution which require attention to disarmament. We all know that disarmament outside the UN is in trouble. Longstanding treaties such as the INF have been allowed to lapse or are likely to soon. Military build-ups in the US, Russia, China and other countries have speeded up. Nuclear proliferation has advanced in North Korea, Iran and Pakistan. Military actions in Yemen, Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan have much increased the spread of conventional weapons. This situation is unlikely to improve until there is a change in leadership in some major national players, especially the United States. The current Disarmament Times will both report on specific disarmament events at the United Nations as well as provide succinct briefs by experts on particular disarmament subjects. It will especially focus on nuclear disarmament. This and climate change are the two greatest threats to the future of the world. The new Times will appear quarterly in October, January, April and July. Please give us your criticisms, comments and suggestions as we publish these editions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc1a3e09dc32a137f59cc7d/1573753660852-TQNLR4SP8OE72Q7ALKDF/AdobeStock_14337312.jpeg Disarmament Times Oct 2019 - “The revival of Disarmament Times could not be more timely.

This is a very important article and the two sentences which proceed the * (above) deserve particular attention. “This article reflects the tension in the First Committee of the UN which deals with disarmament and threats to peace. However, when I attended the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change Conference of Parties 24 in Katowice, Poland 2018, I also saw the anger from the developing nations of the global south due to the failure of the developed nations to contribute to the Global Climate Fund agreed to at the Paris Climate Accords in 2015. These nations remember the colonial past when the so-called developed nations stole the wealth of the global south setting up a world order with northern nations with vast wealth that is uses to amass inordinate military power while continuing to exploit the natural resources of the global south. The global south comprises most member states of the United Nations. These nations which suffered from historic colonial wars, want to see an end to spending on weapons of mass destruction and indeed on military power. This money is required to fund global health, education, affordable decent housing, adaptions and mitigations to climate change, science, research, and all that makes for a better world.” -Comment from Bruce Knotts. https://ngodisarm.org/disarmament-times-june-2020 daily 0.75 2020-11-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc1a3e09dc32a137f59cc7d/1605282609996-JJSL6GUEOVHERVXM0ZW4/AdobeStock_65965550.jpeg Disarmament Times: June 2020 https://ngodisarm.org/disarmament-times-nov-2020 daily 0.75 2020-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc1a3e09dc32a137f59cc7d/1605274041221-CDP4QAFEATEDD1VRYUBR/Screen+Shot+2020-11-13+at+8.24.45+AM.png Disarmament Times: Nov 2020 - “We have a confluence of events which conspire together to spell our doom.
