Auckland commemorates 30 years of nuclear-free New Zealand

Aucklanders celebrate anniversary of nuclear-free New Zealand, 11/06/2017, Newshub staff   It’s been 30 years since New Zealand became the first country in the world to declare itself Nuclear Free.

On Sunday, hundreds formed a human peace symbol at the Auckland Domain, similar to the one made in 1983, in order to commemorate the anniversary of the passing of the New Zealand Nuclear Free Zone, Disarmament, and Arms Control Act. …….

The anniversary comes just days before a United Nations conference involving 132 countries which will negotiate a treaty to ban nuclear weapons. http://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2017/06/aucklanders-celebrate-anniversary-of-nuclear-free-new-zealand.html
