Toward Nuclear Abolition
Student-leaders from the Ikeda Center’s 2017-2018 seminar series devoted to nuclear abolition have been asking the kinds of questions that will both raise awareness of nuclear issues among regular citizens and increase their motivation to take action toward the ultimate goal of a world free of nuclear weapons. On April 21, they reported on their activities at the Ikeda Center’s first-ever student-led public peace dialogue, called “Nuclear Abolition: Claiming Your Right to Live.”
New Awareness, Visionary Practicality & Nuclear Weapons Abolition
The Ikeda Center’s February 2018 student seminar on the topic of nuclear weapons abolition, led by Betty Reardon and Zeena Zakharia, elicited students’ impressions of the major obstacles to nuclear weapons abolition and helped them visualize a clear sequence of action steps that ultimately will result in the entering into force of the 2017 Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.
