New reports on humanitarian and environmental impacts of nuclear bomb testing in the Pacific

Just Security 11th May 2018 Two new reports from Pace University’s International Disarmament
Institute (one about Kiribati and the other focused on Fiji) detail the
humanitarian, human rights and environmental impacts of the Kiritimati and
Malden Island nuclear weapons tests.

The reports also show how the 2017 Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW), recently adopted by
122 governments at the United Nations, offers a groundbreaking framework
for assisting victims and remediating environments contaminated by nuclear
weapons testing in the Pacific.
