THE CAMPAIGN „STOP AIR BASE RAMSTEIN“ AND ITS ACTION WEEK 2017

Posted on by August 17, 2017

Posted on by July 22, 2017

mailing ICAN 13.07.2017 Dear friends, Last week we banned nuclear weapons. It still feels a bit surreal to think that we pulled it off. But what does it all mean? Treaties and international law is sometimes a complex issue, and we’ve gotten a lot of questions about what the treaty does and how it will work. So we thought we collect the most common questions we get. What does the treaty prohibit? The treaty prohibits states from developing, testing, producing, manufacturing, … Continue reading →

G20 in Hamburg – pathetic

Posted on by July 12, 2017

We will learn how many provocateurs were involved. An independent commission is highly needed. What … Continue reading →
