I-20 iminyaka kamva: amaxhoba asetyenziswa yi-NATO yokusetyenziswa kwezixhobo ze-uranium eBalkans kufuneka ekugqibeleni ancedwe

Berlin, Matshi 24, 2019 

Ingxelo ehlangeneyo ye-ICBUW (Int. Ulwalamano lokunqanda izixhobo ze-uranium), i-IALANA (Int.-Association of Lawyers Against Nuclear Arms), i-IPPNW (Int. ), UFriedensglockengesellschaft (i-Peace Bell Association) yaseBerlin, i-International Uranium Film Festival 

Njengenxalenye ye-NATO (engagunyaziswanga yi-UN kwaye ke ngokungekho mthethweni) ukusebenza kwe-NATO "Imikhosi Emanyeneyo" ukusukela nge-Matshi 24 ukuya ku-Juni 6, 1999, iimbumbulu ze-uranium zazisetyenziswa kwiindawo ezazisakuba yiYugoslavia (Kosovo, Serbia, Montenegro, ngaphambili eBosnia-Herzegovina). Iyonke, kuqikelelwa iitoni ezili-13-15 ze-uranium (DU) esele isetyenzisiwe. Le nto inetyhefu yemichiza kwaye ngenxa yemitha ye-ionizing, ikhokelela kwimpilo enzima nakwimithwalo yokusingqongileyo kwaye inokubangela umhlaza kunye notshintsho kwimfuzo.

Ingakumbi ngoku, i-20 iminyaka kamva, ubungakanani bomonakalo owenziwe bubonisa. Abantu abaninzi kwimimandla engcolileyo banomdlavuza okanye bafa. Imeko yokunyamekela unyango kaninzi ayinelanga kwaye ibonakalise kakhulu ixabiso okanye ingenakukwazi ukuhlawula iindawo ezichaphazelekayo. Le meko ichazwe, ngokomzekelo, kwi-1st International Symposium kwimiphumo yokubhobhoza kwe-Yugoslavia kunye ne-DU ngo-1999, eyenzeka ngoJuni kunyaka odlulileyo eNis, ekujonganeni nezenzo zokunceda abantu ukuba bancede ii-Victims, ukuya ukhetho lwamanyathelo omthetho. I-ICBUW yayimelwe ngumkhulumeli wayo, uProf. Manfred Mohr.

Le nkomfa ibonakalisa umdla omtsha, owonyuswe ngumdla kwezopolitiko nakwezoluntu. Ikhomishini ekhethekileyo yophando kwipalamente yaseSerbia yasekwa ngenxa yesi sizathu. Kusetyenziswana nekhomishini efanelekileyo yepalamente e-Italiya, apho sele kukho umthetho onamandla oxhasa amaxhoba okuthunyelwa kwe-DU (emkhosini wase-Italiya). Umdla kunye nokuzinikela kukwavela kwimidiya nakwezobugcisa, umzekelo, kwimeko yefilimu ethi "Uranium 238 - ibali lam" nguMiodrag Miljkovic, othe wakhankanywa ngokukodwa kwi-Uranium Film Festival yonyaka ophelileyo eBerlin.

Ukuqala nge-Ad-Hoc-Committee kwi-DU, i-NATO iyala naluphi na unxibelelwano phakathi kokusetyenziswa kweembumbulu ze-uranium kunye nokwenzakalisa impilo. Esi simo sengqondo luphawu lomkhosi, ethi kwelinye icala yenze yonke into ukukhusela imikhosi yayo ngokuchasene nomngcipheko we-DU. Imigangatho ye-NATO kunye namaphepha abhekisa kumanyathelo okhuseleko kunye nemfuno yokuphepha "ukonakala kwesibambiso" ngokunxulumene nendalo. Nangona kunjalo, okuphambili kufuneka kusoloko kunikwa "iimfuno zokusebenza".

Kuhleli ukuba kubonwe, ukuba ingakanani inkundla yezomkhosi, amaxhoba angaphandle kwe-DU yindlela efanelekileyo yokugcina i-NATO inoxanduva. Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, izikhalazo zamalungelo oluntu zinokwenzeka; kukho into enje ngelungelo lomntu kwindalo esempilweni, ekwakusebenza nasemva kwemfazwe. Kubalulekile ukuba i-NATO kunye namazwe ngamanye e-NATO alwamkele uxanduva lwabo kwezopolitiko nakwezoluntu kwintshabalalo ye-DU ebangelwe yimfazwe yeentsuku ezingama-78 ngokuchasene ne-Yugoslavia yangaphambili. Ngokubanzi-mabaxhase inkqubo ye-UN, ethi (ngothotho lwezigqibo kwiNdibano yeZizwe eziManyeneyo, kutshanje hayi. 73/38) iqaqambisa la manqaku aphambili xa kusetyenzwa ngeembumbulu zeuranium:

• "indlela yokhuseleko"
• (epheleleyo) ngokungafihliyo (malunga neendlela zokusebenzisana)
• uncedo kunye nenkxaso kwimimandla echaphazelekayo.

Isibheno, kunyaka we-70 wesiseko se-NATO, sijoliswe ngakumbi kwiRiphabhlikhi yaseJamani yaseJamani, engenazo izixhobo ze-uranium kodwa inqanda inkqubo ye-UN ngeminyaka ngokuziphatha okuphazamisayo, ngakumbi ngokuyeka ukuvota kwiNdibano yesiGaba .

Yonke into kufuneka yenziwe ngokunqabela izixhobo ze-uranium kunye nokunceda amaxhoba asetyenziswayo.
