- The
Yorkshire CND Menwith Hill Web Pages
- Menwith Hill, N. Yorks, is the largest electronic monitoring station in the world.
It is run by the US National Security Agency, which monitors world communication
for US intelligence. Menwith Hill employs 1,200 US civilians and servicemen to work
around the clock inside "hardened" buildings intercepting and analysing
communications mainly from Europe, Russia and the Middle East. All telecomms traffic
to and from Europe which passes through Britain is intercepted at the base, including
private telephone calls, telex and other communications. Dave Webb, Co-ordinator
for Yorkshire CND details what is known of the activities at the site site and the
court ruling which reslted from action taken against demonstrators.

- The Pugwash Conferences
- Pugwash was founded during the Cold War and was named after the site of the first
conference. Pugwash brought together military experts, prominent scientists and diplomats
in preparation for the 1963 nuclear test ban treaty, 1968 atomic weapons non-proliferation
treaty, and 1972 biological weapons conference. Pugwash has recently focused its
efforts on environmental, energy and Third World issues and has formed Student Pugwash.
The pages include the text of Joseph Rotblat's acceptance speech for the 1995 Nobel
Peace Prize and the text of the 1955 Russell-Einstein manifesto.

to promote nuclear disarmament, to tighten existing arms control and non-proliferation
regimes, as well as to implement unconventional approaches to curbing the proliferation
of weapons of mass destruction and to controling the transfer of related technology.
Strengthening of non-proliferation activities around the NPT is a major goal.

What would it take to make Canada truly nuclear-weapon-free? Ploughshares researcher
Bill Robinson explains: Fifty years after the advent of the nuclear age, Canada still
maintains a fundamentally ambiguous policy toward nuclear weapons. While we rule
out acquiring our own nuclear weapons, oppose nuclear proliferation, and support,
at least in principle, abolishing all nuclear weapons, we also oppose any steps toward
eliminating the nuclear arsenals of our allies...

- IAEA serves as the world's central intergovernmental forum for scientific and
technical co-operation in the nuclear field, and as the international inspectorate
for the application of nuclear safeguards and verification measures covering civilian
nuclear programmes. A specialized agency within the United Nations system, the IAEA
came into being in 1957, a few years after US President Eisenhower proposed the creation
of an international atomic energy agency in his historic Atoms for Peace speech before
the UN General Assembly. Today, a wide range of IAEA products, services, and programmes
incorporate the co-operative efforts and interests of the Agency's 124 Member States.

- The International Peace Bureau.
- IPB is the world's oldest and most comprehensive international peace network.
With 19 internationals and 141 national/local member organisations (and 120 individuals)
in over 40 countries, it brings together people working for peace in many different
sectors: not only pacifists but also women's, youth, labour, religious, political
and professional bodies. IPB was founded in 1892 and won the Nobel Peace Prize in
1910 for its efforts in promoting the establishment of the League of Nations and
for spreading the message of peace to the general public. Among its many distinguished
leaders over the years was the Irish Nobel laureate Sean MacBride. Nowadays its role
is that of supporting peace and disarmament initiatives taken by the UN, launching
collective projects and informing and servicing grassroots peace campaigns. We have
had UN Consultative Status as an NGO since 1977, and have been active in the Special
NGO Committee for Disarmament since 1972. Current program areas are nuclear disarmament;
conventional and inhumane weapons; conflicts; and women and peace.

Plymouth nuclear Dump Information
Group (DIG).
Plymouth nuclear Dump Information Group (DIG) is a voluntary, non party political
pressure group. Our aim is to research and inform on issues related to military radioactive
wastes and materials in the City of Plymouth, Devon, UK. This includes the transportation
of nuclear materials and wastes, the expansion and storage of radioactive materials
and waste in the city including nuclear submarine spent fuel, worker and public protection
in 'normal' and 'abnormal' (accident) conditions and the scrapping and storage of
decommissioned nuclear powered submarines and reactors in the City of Plymouth. Plymouth
has been earmarked to refit and service Trident (Vanguard Class) ballistic submarines
which heralds a dramatic expansion of nuclear activities, operations, transportation
and waste.
