Mail: chris.zielinski@ukhealthalliance.org The danger is significant
and growing. The nuclear-armed states must eliminate their nuclear
arsenals before they eliminate us. The health community played a decisive
part during the Cold War and, more recently, in developing the Treaty on the
Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. We must retake this challenge as an urgent priority,
working with renewed energy to reduce nuclear war risks and eliminate nuclear
weapons. |
