يقتلع بوريس جونسون من محافظات لسلام
ب [كت] [هودسن] | أعلن شهر متأخّرة, بوريس جونسون الإنسحاب من لندن عضوية من الشاملة `محافظات لسلام' مبادرة. أسّست هذا كان بالمحافظات من هروشيما وناغازاكي في 1982, في جهد أن يمنع أيّ أخرى مدينة يذهب من خلال ألم مماثلة.
في 1945, سقطت [أتوم بومب] كان على المدائن يابانيّة من هروشيما وناغازاكي ب ال [أوس] أسطول جوّي حربي, [رسولتينغ ين] مئات الآلاف الموت, والنتيجات مدمّرة من إشعاع تسمم يأثر أجيال لاحقة. منذ أنّ وقت, قد [فلت] محافظات من أنّ مدائن مسؤولية أن يتأكّد الناس فهمت النتيجات: يبحث `أن يمنع أيّ تكرار من ال [أ-بومب] مأساة, المدائن هروشيما وناغازاكي يتلقّى باستمرار أن يقول العالم حول القساوة غيرإنسانيّ سلاح نوويّ ويتلقّى باستمرار عجّلت أنّ سلاح نوويّ يلغوا.'
محافظات لسلام بصعوبة يتطرّف منظمة. There are currently 2,277 member cities in 129 countries, including Paris, Berlin, Rome, Ottawa, Los Angeles and Sydney. أعضاء سحبت [فروم كروسّ] الطيف سياسيّة. يصدق [تدتوشي] [أكيبا], المحافظة هروشيما, أنّ الدور من مدينة محافظات في يرفع حالة وعي السلاح نوويّ مفتاح, يعطى أنّ مدائن الأهداف السلاح نوويّ.
نحن كنّا مدركة عندما انتخبت بوريس جونسون كان أنّ هو ساند بريطانيا سلاح نوويّ نظامة [تريدنت], [أس ولّ س] الحرب على العراق, غير أنّ هناك ما من سبب ل ه أن يرفض مشاركة في [إينترنأيشنل بودي] يرتكب إلى الإلغاء شاملة سلاح نوويّ.
قد ساند كلّ حكومة محافظة بريطانيا مشاركة في النوويّة [نون-بروليفرأيشن] معاهدة, الهدف [أف وهيش] نزع السلاح شاملة نوويّة. يقترح هذا قرار أنّ بوريس جونسون ينسحب من أنّ هدف عاديّة.
يهين هذا قرار إلى الالناس من هروشيما وناغازاكي والعمل من محافظاتهم لسلام شاملة, ويذهب ضدّ المنظرات من الأغلبية من الالناس بريطانيّة, الذي يساند نزع السلاح شاملة نوويّة.
هكذا لما يتلقّى بوريس جونسون يقتلع? هو يتلقّى ما من اهتمام لسلام? أسّست محافظات لسلام كان [س ثت] مدائن ومقيماتهم يحتاجون [نو لونجر] خشيت عملية نوويّة [- ثت] مدائن سوفت [نو لونجر] كنت الأهداف السلاح نوويّ. يكون بوريس جونسون يعطي مرتفعة على أنّ هدف?
Johnson’s approach is in marked contrast to that of the former mayor, Ken Livingstone. Ken is a strong supporter of the peace movement and was a staunch ally during his terms in office and his moral commitment to peace and disarmament helped to work towards a culture of peace in London. This was demonstrated in many ways, not only on the nuclear issue, but also on the anti-war issue and — drawing this more widely — on building constructive and harmonious relationships between London’s many communities. In all of these areas, I believe he was in line with the majority opinions of London’s residents and working in their best interests. As Tadatoshi Akiba says, it is the residents of cities that suffer most in war.
In very stark contrast recently, was the different experiences of the two visits of President Bush, firstly in 2003, and secondly just a few weeks ago. In 2003, Mayor Livingstone supported our protests against Bush’s visit, and he welcomed the disabled US Vietnam veteran Ron Kovic to City Hall, to pay tribute to his work for peace. Our rally and demonstration proceeded peacefully and unimpeded. During Bush’s recent visit, the anti-war movement was prevented from demonstrating in Whitehall — signalling unnecessary restrictions on our right to protest — and a number of protestors were on the receiving end of police brutality. It is to be hoped that these incidents are not symptomatic of a new attitude in London, contemptuous of those who struggle for peace and disarmament, and cavalier with our right to peaceful protest.

What a stupid comment. By not joining an “anti public beheading” group, does that automatically mean he supports public beheadings? Of course not. And since when has he suppressed your right to protest?

Reply | Quote selected text | Link to thisHi Peter,
My comments are echoing the author of the article. Of course the withdrawal of membership of “Mayors for Peace” doesn’t suggest that he is fully against peace. But where does beheading come into it? The main aims of Mayors for Peace is anti-nuclear weapons and war.
Concerning the supression of right to protest, I’d like to quote from the article where it says “During Bush’s recent visit, the anti-war movement was prevented from demonstrating in Whitehall — signalling unnecessary restrictions on our right to protest — and a number of protestors were on the receiving end of police brutality.”

Glad to see that the new mayor of my capital city doesn’t want peace or civil liberties (right to protest, freedom of speech, etc).
I’m actually a bit shocked at what I’ve read (interesting article, thanks!) but I shouldn’t be really! My more cynical side isn’t that shocked.
Would like to know Mr Johnson’s reasoning for pulling out of the “Mayors fo Peace”.
