Mhlawumbe ngaphezu kwanoma yiluphi olunye udaba lwamazwe omhlaba, impendulo kahulumeni waseCanada esinyathelweni sokuqeda izikhali zenuzi iveza igebe eliphakathi kwalokho okushiwo nabakwenzayo ezingeni lomhlaba.

IHonduras isanda kuba yi-50^th izwe lokuqinisekisa iSivumelwano Sokuvinjelwa Kwezikhali Zenuzi (TPNW). Ngakho-ke, isivumelwano sizokuba ngumthetho wezizwe ezisayine ngoJanuwari 22.

Lesi sinyathelo esibalulekile sokukhipha inyumbazane nokwenza ubugebengu lezi zikhali eziyingozi sasingafiki ngesikhathi esidingeka kakhulu.

Ngaphansi kobuholi bukaMongameli wase-US uDonald Trump, i-US yaqhubeka nokusebenzisa ukungasabalali kwenuzi, ikhipha isivumelwano se-Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF), isivumelwano senuzi sase-Iran kanye ne-Open Skies Treaty. Ngaphezulu kweminyaka engama-25 i-US isebenzisa $ 1.7 isigidintathu ukwenza inqolobane yayo yesimanje ibe namabhomu amasha izikhathi 80 enamandla kakhulu kunalawo awiswe eHiroshima naseNagasaki.

I-UN Institute for Disarmament Research iphikisa ngokuthi ingozi ukusetshenziswa kwezikhali zenuzi kuphezulu kakhulu kusukela ngeMpi Yezwe Yesibili. Lokhu kuboniswa yi-Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, nayo enayo I-Doomsday Clock ngemizuzwana eyi-100 kuya phakathi kwamabili, emele umzuzu oyingozi kakhulu isintu esake sabhekana nawo emashumini eminyaka.

Kube yini impendulo kaNdunankulu uJustin Trudeau? ICanada ibiphakathi kwamazwe angama-38 bavote ngokumelene bebambe iNgqungquthela ye-UN Yowezi-2017 Yokuxoxisana Ngethuluzi Elibophezela Emthethweni Lokuvimbela Izikhali ZaseNyukliya, Ehola Ngokuya Ekuqedeni Ukuqedwa Kwazo Zonke (abangu-123 bavotela lokhu). UTrudeau futhi wenqabile ukuthumela ummeleli esithangamini esithanyelwe izingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zawo wonke amazwe axoxisana nge-TPNW. Undunankulu waze wabiza lolu hlelo lokulwa nenuzi ngokuthi “alunamsebenzi,” futhi kusukela lapho uhulumeni wakhe wenqabile ukujoyina 84 amazwe asesayine isivumelwano. Emhlanganweni we-UN General Assembly ngoLwesibili eCanada bavote ngokumelene amazwe ayi-118 aqinisekise ukusekelwa kwe-TPNW.

Kuyamangalisa ukuthi abakwaLiberal bazithathe lezi zikhundla sonke lesi sikhathi bethi basekelamahhala emhlabeni wezikhali zenuzi. ” "ICanada ngokungangabazeki isekela ukupheliswa kwezikhali zenuzi emhlabeni, ”kusho iGlobal Affairs esontweni eledlule.

AbakwaLiberal baphinde babeka phambili ekusekeleni "ukuhleleka okusekelwe emithethweni yamazwe omhlaba" njengengqikithi yenqubomgomo yabo yezangaphandle. Noma kunjalo, i-TPNW yenza izikhali ezihlale ziziphethe kabi futhi ezingekho emthethweni ngaphansi komthetho wamazwe omhlaba.

AbaseLiberal nabo bathi bagqugquzela “inqubomgomo yezangaphandle yabesifazane.” I-TPNW, nokho, njengoba kuphawuliwe nguRay Acheson, yi "owokuqala wesifazane umthetho wezikhali zenuzi, uqaphela imiphumela emibi yezikhali zenuzi kwabesifazane namantombazane. ”

Ubutha bukahulumeni ku-Nuclear Ban Treaty kungenzeka bubafice. Umkhankaso othi “Cha eCanada eMkhandlwini Wezokuphepha Wezizwe Ezihlangene”, okungenzeka ube nomthelela ekwehlulweni ngoJuni, wagxeka inqubomgomo yabo yenuzi. (Oqhudelana kakhulu nesihlalo saseCanada esihlalweni soMkhandlu Wezokuphepha, e-Ireland, useyigunyazisile i-TPNW.)Ngokudumazayo , iCanada yenqabile ukujoyina amazwe ayi-122 amelwe engqungqutheleni ye-UN ye-2017 yokuxoxisana nge-Legal Binding Instrument Yokuvimbela Izikhali ZaseNyukliya, Ehola Ebheke Ekuqedweni Kwayo Konke, ”kuphawula incwadi eyathunyelwa kuwo onke amanxusa e-UN egameni labantu abangu-4,000, kubalwa namazwe omhlaba amaningi avelele izibalo.

Kusukela ngonyaka we-75^th isikhumbuzo sokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu nge-athomu eHiroshima naseNagasaki ezinyangeni ezintathu ezedlule, kube nokuqubuka kwesishoshovu sokulwa nenuzi. Isikhumbuzo esesabekayo sibeke obala lolu daba, futhi izinkulungwane zabantu baseCanada zisayine izicelo zokucela uhulumeni ukuthi ajoyine i-TPNW. Phakathi kwesikhumbuzo se- I-NDP, imifino futhi I-Bloc Québécois bonke bafuna iCanada yamukele iSivumelwano Sokuvinjelwa Kwenuzi se-UN.

Ekupheleni kukaSepthemba, ngaphezu kwe- 50 wangaphambilini abaholi kanye nongqongqoshe abaphezulu abavela eJapan, South Korea kanye nasemazweni angama-20 e-NATO basayine incwadi ekhishwe yi-International Campaign yokuqeda izikhali zenuzi. Owayengundunankulu waseCanada Liberal uJean Chrétien, iphini likandunankulu uJohn Manley, ongqongqoshe bezokuvikela uJohn McCallum noJean-Jacques Blais, kanye nongqongqoshe bamazwe angaphandle uBill Graham noLloyd Axworthy basayine isitatimende benxusa amazwe ukuthi asekele isivumelwano sokuvalwa kwenuzi. Ithi i-TPNW inikeza "isisekelo sezwe eliphephe kakhudlwana, elingenabungozi obukhulu."

Njengoba i-TPNW ithole ama-50 ayo^th ukuqinisekiswa emasontweni amabili edlule, sekuvuselelwe ukunakwa kwale nkinga. Cishe izinhlangano ezingama-50 zivume umcimbi olandelayo weCanada Foreign Policy Institute kanye nomcimbi weToronto Hiroshima Nagasaki Day Coalition onxenxa uhulumeni ukuthi asayine iSivumelwano Sokuvinjelwa Kwenuzi se-UN. NgoNovemba 19 owasinda eHiroshima uSetsuko Thurlow, owemukela ngokuhlanganyela uMklomelo Wokuthula KaNobel wezi-2017 egameni loMkhankaso Wamazwe Ngamazwe Wokuqeda Izikhali Zenuzi, uzojoyinwa yilungu lePhalamende leGreen Elizabeth May, iphini lomgxeki wezindaba zangaphandle ze-NDP uHeather McPherson, Ilungu lePhalamende laseBarc Québécois u-Alexis Brunelle -UDuceppe kanye nelungu lePhalamende laseLiberal uHedy Fry ngengxoxo enesihloko esithi “Kungani kungenjalo ICanada isayine isivumelwano se-UN Nuclear Ban Treaty? ”

Njengoba amazwe amaningi eqinisekisa iSivumelwano Sokuvinjelwa Kwezikhali Zenuzi, ingcindezi kuhulumeni waseTrudeau ukuba ilandele izokhula. Kuzoba nzima ngokwengeziwe ukugcina igebe phakathi kwalokhu abakushoyo nabakwenzayo emhlabeni jikelele.
