Eminyakeni engu-20 kamuva: izisulu ze-NATO zokusebenzisa izikhali ze-uranium emaBalkan kumele ekugcineni zisize

I-Berlin, ngoMashi 24, i-2019 

Isitatimende esihlanganisiwe se-ICBUW (Int. Coalition yokuvimbela izikhali ze-uranium), i-IALANA (i-Int. Association of Lawyers Against Nuclear Arms), i-IPPNW (i-Int. Physicians ye-Prevention of Nuclear War) (izigaba ngasinye zaseJalimane), i-IPB (Int. ), I-Friedensglockengesellschaft (i-Peace Bell Association) i-Berlin, i-International Uranium Film Festival 

Njengengxenye yohlelo lweNATO (olungagunyaziwe futhi olungekho emthethweni) lweNATO “Forces Forces” kusukela ngoMashi 24 kuya kuJuni 6, 1999, izinhlamvu ze-uranium zasetshenziswa ezindaweni ezazingaphansi kweYugoslavia (Kosovo, Serbia, Montenegro, phambilini iBosnia-Herzegovina). Sekukonke, kusetshenziswe amathani alinganiselwa ku-13-15 e-uranium (DU) esephelile. Le nto inoshevu wamakhemikhali futhi ngenxa yemisebe ye-ionizing, iholela ezinsweni ezinkulu zezempilo nezemvelo futhi ingadala umdlavuza nezinguquko zofuzo.

Ikakhulukazi manje, iminyaka engu-20 kamuva, ubukhulu bomonakalo owenziwe. Abantu abaningi ezindaweni ezingcolile bahlushwa umdlavuza noma bafa. Isimo sokunakekelwa kwezokwelapha ngokuvamile asiyeneli futhi sibonakele kakhulu noma singenakwenzeka ngokuphelele ukwehlisa izindawo ezithintekayo. Isimo sachazwa, isibonelo, esikhungweni se-1st International Symposium ngemiphumela yokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu okuyi-Yugoslavia ne-DU ngo-1999, okwenzeka ngoJuni ngonyaka odlule e-Nis, ngokubhekana nezinyathelo zokusiza ezisizayo ukuze zisize i-DE, kuze kube inketho yezinyathelo zomthetho. I-ICBUW yayimelelwe ngumkhulumeli wayo, uMnuz Manfred Mohr.

Le ngqungquthela iyindlela yokubonisa intshisekelo entsha, eyandisiwe yomphakathi wezesayensi nezepolitiki ezinhlakeni ze-uranium. Ikhomishini ekhethekile yokuphenya iphalamende laseSerbia yasungulwa ngale njongo. Kusebenzisana nekhomishini efanele yephalamende e-Italy, lapho sekuvele kukhona umthetho oqinile wamacala evuna izisulu zokuthunyelwa kwe-DU (empini yase-Italy). Intshisekelo nokuzibophezela kuphuma nakwabezindaba nakwezobuciko, isb. Endabeni yefilimu ethi “Uranium 238 - my story” kaMiodrag Miljkovic, eyakhulunywa ngokukhethekile kwi-International Uranium Film Festival ngonyaka odlule eBerlin.

Ukuqala nge-Ad-Hoc-Committee ye-DU, i-NATO iphika noma yikuphi ukuxhumana phakathi kokusetshenziswa kwezinhlamvu ze-uranium nokulimaza impilo. Lesi simo sengqondo yisici sezempi, okuthi ngakolunye uhlangothi senze konke ukuvikela amasosha aso ezingozini ze-DU. Izindinganiso namaphepha e-NATO abhekisele kuzinyathelo zokuqapha kanye nesidingo sokugwema "ukulimala kwesibambiso" maqondana nemvelo. Kodwa-ke, okubaluleke kakhulu kumele kuhlale kunikezwa "izidingo zokusebenza".

Kusazobonakala, ukuthi izinqubo zokwahlulela ezingxenyeni zomphakathi, izisulu ze-DU zakwamanye amazwe ziyindlela ephumelelayo yokubamba iqhaza leNATO. Ngemuva kwakho konke, izikhalazo zamalungelo abantu nazo zingenzeka; kukhona into enjengelungelo lomuntu lokuthola indawo enempilo, esebenza futhi nangemuva kwempi. Kubalulekile ukuthi i-NATO kanye namazwe ngamanye e-NATO avume isibopho sabo sezepolitiki nesobuntu ngokucekelwa phansi kwe-DU okuholele empini yezinsuku ezingama-78 elwa neYugoslavia yangaphambili. Kumele - ngababili - baxhase inqubo ye-UN, (ngohlobo lochungechunge lwezixazululo ze-General Assembly, muva nje ezingekho. 73/38) egqamisa la maphuzu abalulekile ekubhekaneni nokusetshenziswa kwezinhlamvu ze-uranium:

• "indlela yokuqapha"
• (ephelele) obala (mayelana nezixhumanisi zokusetshenziswa)
• usizo nokusekela izifunda ezithintekile.

Isikhalo, ngonyaka we-70 wesisekelo se-NATO, siqondiswa ngokukhethekile kwi-Federal Republic yaseJalimane, engenazo izikhali ze-uranium kodwa ivimbela inqubo ye-UN iminyaka ngokuziphatha okuvimbela, ikakhulukazi ngokuyeka ukuvota ku-General Assembly .

Konke kufanele kwenziwe ukuze kuvinjelwe izikhali ze-uranium futhi usize izisulu zokusetshenziswa kwazo.
