Daily Times - Site Edition: "Scientists call for nuclear abolition
TOKYO: Scientists and academics from 40 countries Saturday called for the abolition of nuclear weapons to mark the 60th anniversary of the atomic bombing of the Japanese city of Hiroshima.
The appeal was made in Hiroshima at the annual convention of the Pugwash Conference on Science and World Affairs, an organisation dedicated to reducing and eliminating the threat posed by nuclear weapons and war.
Opportunities for lasting peace after the end of the Cold War and the break-up of the Berlin Wall were frittered away, Pugwash council president MS Swaminathan said as he opened the meeting that lasts until Wednesday.
“The prospect for nuclear terrorism and adventurism have become real. The voice of sanity of the survival of the 1945 nuclear annihilations in Hiroshima and Nagasaki is yet to be heard,” the Indian biologist said. afp "
