Ο ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΟΣ ΕΡΥΘΡΟΣ ΣΤΑΥΡΟΣ ΔΕΝ ΚΑΤΑΔΙΚΑΖΕΙ ΤΑ ΠΥΡΗΝΙΚΑ ΟΠΛΑ!

Καθώς τα τύμπανα του πολέμου χτυπούν ξανά στον Περσικό Κόλπο με πρόσχημα το πυρηνικό πρόγραμμα του Ιράν, κινήσεις όπως αυτές του Διεθνούς Ερυθρού Σταυρό που μετά από συνεργασία με την International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War υιοθέτησε στην Γενική του Συνέλευση της 26 Νοεμβρίου 2011ψήφισμα υπέρ της απαγόρευσης των πυρηνικών όπλων αποτελούν φάρο ελπίδας και στέλνου μήνυμα ειρήνης σε ολόκληρη την ανθρωπότητα.

Ερωτηματικά προκαλεί με την στάση του ο πρόεδρος του Ελληνικού Ερυθρού Σταυρού κ Μαρτίνης, που η «προβληματική στάση» του είχε ως αποτέλεσμα ο Ελληνικός Ερυθρός Σταυρός να μη συνυπογράφει το σχετικό ψήφισμα.Τα συμπεράσματα δικά σας.

Και ο Διεθνής Ερυθρός Σταυρός (χωρίς τον Ελληνικό) κατά των πυρηνικών

Ο Διεθνής Ερυθρός Σταυρός μετά από συνεργασία με την International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War υιοθέτησε στην Γενική του Συνέλευση της 26 Νοεμβρίου 2011 ψήφισμα υπέρ της απαγόρευσης των πυρηνικών όπλων (επισύναψη).

Παρ’ ότι κατά την προετοιμασία του ψηφίσματος επικοινωνήσαμε και έγγραφα και προφορικά για το θέμα με τα γραφεία του προέδρου του Ελληνικού Ερυθρού Σταυρού κ Μαρτίνη, στάθηκε αδύνατο να τον συναντήσουμε, με αποτέλεσμα ο Ελληνικός Ερυθρός Σταυρός να μη συνυπογράφει το σχετικό ψήφισμα.

Είναι κρίμα σε τέτοιες περιόδους ο Ελληνικός Ερυθρός Σταυρός να απουσιάζει από τέτοιες πρωτοβουλίες που στο κάτω κάτω δεν έχουν κανένα οικονομικό κόστος. Για το ΔΣ

RESOLUTION

Document prepared by the International Committee of the Red Cross in consultation

with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and

National Societies

Working towards the elimination of nuclear weapons

The Council of Delegates,

deeply concerned about the destructive power of nuclear weapons, the unspeakable human

suffering they cause, the difficulty of controlling their effects in space and time, the threat

they pose to the environment and to future generations and the risks of escalation they

create,

concernedalso by the continued retention of tens of thousands of nuclear warheads, the

proliferation of such weapons and the constant risk that they could again be used,

disturbedby the serious implications of any use of nuclear weapons for humanitarian

assistance activities and food production over wide areas of the world,

believingthat the existence of nuclear weapons raises profound questions about the extent

of suffering that humans are willing to inflict, or to permit, in warfare,

welcomingthe renewed diplomatic efforts on nuclear disarmament, in particular the

commitments made by States at the 2009 United Nations Security Council Summit on

Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Nuclear Disarmament, the 2010 Review Conference of the

Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and the Treaty Between the United

States of America and the Russian Federation on Measures for the Further Reduction and

Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms,

welcomingalso the commitments made by States at the highest levels in the above fora to

create the conditions for a world free of nuclear weapons through concrete actions in the

fields of nuclear non-proliferation and nuclear disarmament,

recallingthe 1996 advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice, which confirmed that

the principles and rules of international humanitarian law apply to nuclear weapons and

concluded that the threat or use of such weapons would generally be contrary to the

principles and rules of international humanitarian law,

drawing upon the testimony of atomic bomb survivors, the experience of the Japan Red

Cross and ICRC in assisting the victims of the atomic bomb blasts in Hiroshima and

Nagasaki and the knowledge gained through the ongoing treatment of survivors by the

Japanese Red Cross Atomic Bomb Survivors Hospitals,

bearing in mind the resolutions on weapons of mass destruction in general and the abolition

of nuclear weapons in particular, adopted by the International Conferences of the Red Cross

and Red Crescent in 1948, 1952, 1957, 1965, 1969, 1977 and 1981; the Council of

Delegates in 2009; and the statements on nuclear weapons made by the President of the

International Committee of the Red Cross to the Geneva diplomatic corps in April 2010 and

by the President of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies to

Nobel Laureates in Hiroshima in November 2010,

CD/11/R1 2

convincedthat the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement has an historic and important

role to play in efforts to create the conditions for a world without nuclear weapons,

1. emphasizes the incalculable human suffering that can be expected to result from any use

of nuclear weapons, the lack of any adequate humanitarian response capacity and the

absolute imperative to prevent such use,

2. finds it difficult to envisage how any use of nuclear weapons could be compatible with the

rules of international humanitarian law, in particular the rules of distinction, precaution and

proportionality,

3. appeals to all States:

- to ensure that nuclear weapons are never again used, regardless of their views on the

legality of such weapons,

- to pursue in good faith and conclude with urgency and determination negotiations to

prohibit the use of and completely eliminate nuclear weapons through a legally binding

international agreement, based on existing commitments and international obligations,

4. calls on all components of the Movement, utilising the framework of humanitarian

diplomacy:

- to engage, to the extent possible, in activities to raise awareness among the public,

scientists, health professionals and decision-makers of the catastrophic humanitarian

consequences of any use of nuclear weapons, the international humanitarian law

issues that arise from such use and the need for concrete actions leading to the

prohibition of use and elimination of such weapons,

- to engage, to the extent possible, in continuous dialogue with governments and other

relevant actors on the humanitarian and international humanitarian law issues

associated with nuclear weapons and to disseminate the Movement position outlined in

this resolution.
