Isikhathi sokuvimbela ibhomu

U-Alice Slater

Kuleli sonto, uSihlalo wohlelo oluthokozisayo lwe-UN oluqanjwe ngokusemthethweni ngokuthi "Izizwe Ezihlangene Ingqungquthela Yokuxoxisana Ngethuluzi Elibopha Ngokomthetho Lokwenqabela Izikhali Zenuzi, Eziholela Ekuqedweni Kwazo Ngokuphelele” ikhiphe uhlaka lwesivumelwano ukuvimbela nokwenqabela izikhali zenuzi njengoba nje umhlaba wenze ngezikhali zebhayoloji nezamakhemikhali. ISivumelwano Sokuvinjelwa kuzoxoxiswana ngaso ku-UN kusuka Juni 15 kuya kuJulayi 7 njengokulandela isonto elilodwa lezingxoxo ezibe khona kulo Mashi odlule, ezihanjelwe ohulumeni abangaphezu kwe-130 bexoxisana nezinhlangano zomphakathi. Imibono neziphakamiso zabo zisetshenziswe uSihlalo, inxusa laseCosta Rica ku-UN, u-Elayne Whyte Gómez ukuze alungiselele isivumelwano esisalungiswa. Kulindeleke ukuthi ekugcineni umhlaba uzophuma kulo mhlangano nesivumelwano sokuvala ibhomu!

Le ngqungquthela yokuxoxisana yasungulwa ngemva kochungechunge lwemihlangano eNorway, eMexico, nase-Austria nohulumeni nezinhlangano zomphakathi ukuhlola imiphumela eyinhlekelele yobuntu yempi yenuzi. Le mihlangano igqugquzelwe ubuholi kanye nokunxusa i-International Red Cross ukuthi ibheke ukwesabeka kwezikhali zenuzi, hhayi nje ngohlaka lwesu kanye “nokuvimbela”, kodwa ukubamba nokuhlola imiphumela eyinhlekelele yobuntu engenzeka kuzikhali zenuzi. impi. Lo msebenzi uholele ochungechungeni lwemihlangano eyafinyelela esinqumweni ku-UN General Assembly lokhu kuwa ukuze kuxoxiswane ngesivumelwano sokuvala nokuvimbela izikhali zenuzi. Isivumelwano esisha esisalungiswa esekwe eziphakamisweni ezikhishwe ezingxoxweni zikaMashi sidinga ukuthi izifundazwe "zingalokothi ngaphansi kwanoma yiziphi izimo ... zithuthukise, zikhiqize, zenze, zithole, zibe, noma ziqongelele izikhali zenuzi noma ezinye iziqhumane zenuzi ... zisebenzise izikhali zenuzi ... ukuhlola izikhali zenuzi”. Amazwe futhi kudingeka ukuthi acekele phansi noma yiziphi izikhali zenuzi ezinazo futhi anqatshelwe ukudlulisela izikhali zenuzi kunoma yimuphi omunye umamukeli.

Azikho izikhali zenuzi kweziyisishiyagalolunye ezithi, i-US, UK, Russia, France, China, Indian, Pakistan, Israel kanye neNorth Korea eze emhlanganweni wangoMashi, nakuba ngesikhathi sokuvota kugcine kwenzekile ukuthi kuqhutshekwe nesinqumo sezingxoxo ku-UN. IKomidi Lokuqala Lokuhoxiswa Kwezikhali, lapho isinqumo sethulwa khona ngokusemthethweni, ngenkathi amazwe amahlanu asentshonalanga ye-nuclear avotela ngokumelene naso, i-China, i-India kanye ne-Pakistan ayizange ivume. Futhi iNorth Korea ivota ngoba isinqumo sokuxoxisana ukuze kuvinjelwe ibhomu! (Ngibheja ukuthi awukufundanga lokho ku New York Times!)

Ngesikhathi isinqumo sifika ku-General Assembly, uDonald Trump wayesekhethiwe futhi lawo mavoti ayethembisa ashabalala. Futhi ezingxoxweni zikaMashi, iNxusa laseMelika ku-UN, uNikki Haley, ehambisana namaNxusa avela eNgilandi naseFrance, wema ngaphandle kwegumbi lengqungquthela elivaliwe futhi wabamba umhlangano nabezindaba “nezifundazwe eziningi” ezithembele ku-nuclear yase-US. 'ukuvimbela' ukuqothula izitha zabo (okuhlanganisa izifunda ze-NATO kanye ne-Australia, iJapane, neNingizimu Korea) futhi yamemezela ukuthi “njengomama” ongeke afunele umkhaya wakhe okwengeziwe “kunezwe elingenazo izikhali zenuzi” kwadingeka "Yiba namaqiniso" futhi uzowuduba umhlangano futhi uphikisane nemizamo yokuvala ibhomu enezela, "Ingabe ukhona okholelwa ukuthi iNorth Korea ingavuma ukuvinjelwa kwezikhali zenuzi?"

Ingqungquthela yokugcina yeminyaka emihlanu yeSivumelwano Sokungabhebhetheki Sangowezi-2015 (i-NPT) yahlakazeka ngaphandle kokuvumelana mayelana nenani lesivumelwano i-US ayikwazanga ukusiletha e-Egypt ukuze kubanjwe iNgqungquthela Yendawo Ekhululekile Yezikhali Zokubhujiswa Okukhulu eMpumalanga Ephakathi. Lesi sithembiso senziwa ku-1995 ukuze kutholwe ivoti elidingekayo lokuvumelana kuzo zonke izifunda zokwelula i-NPT unomphela lapho isizophelelwa yisikhathi, eminyakeni engama-25 ngemuva kwezikhali ezinhlanu zezikhali zenuzi esivumelwaneni, i-US, UK, Russia, China, neFrance. , eyathenjiswa ngo-1970 ukwenza “imizamo yokwethembeka” yokuqeda izikhali zenuzi. Kuleso sivumelwano wonke amanye amazwe omhlaba athembisa ukuthi ngeke azithole izikhali zenuzi, ngaphandle kwe-India, Pakistan, no-Israel abangakaze basayine baqhubeke nokuzitholela amabhomu abo. INorth Korea yayisisayine lesi sivumelwano, kodwa yasebenzisa ithuba le-NPT's Faustian bargain ukwenza ubumnandi ebhodweni ngesithembiso sezikhali ezingezona ezenuzi ukuze "ilungelo elingenakuphikwa" lamandla enuzi "anokuthula", ngaleyo ndlela ibanike izihluthulelo zebhomu. ifektri. INorth Korea yathola amandla ayo enuzi anokuthula, futhi yaphuma esivumelwaneni sayokwenza ibhomu. Ekubuyekezweni kwe-NPT yangowezi-2015, iNingizimu Afrika yanikeza inkulumo enohlonze ezwakalisa isimo sobandlululo lwenuzi olukhona phakathi kwezikhali zenuzi, ebambe umhlaba wonke ezidingweni zabo zokuphepha kanye nokwehluleka kwabo ukuthobela isibopho sabo sokuqeda amabhomu enuzi, ngenkathi isebenza. isikhathi esengeziwe ukuvimbela ukwanda kwenyukliya kwamanye amazwe.

Uhlaka Lwesivumelwano Sokuvinjelwa luhlinzeka ngokuthi iSivumelwano sizoqala ukusebenza lapho amazwe angu-40 esisayina futhi ayasigunyaza. Noma ngabe azikho izifundazwe zezikhali zenuzi ezijoyinayo, ukuvinjelwa kungasetshenziswa ukucwasa nokuhlazisa izifundazwe “zesambulela” ukuze zihoxe ezinsizeni “zokuvikela” zenuzi ezizitholayo manje. I-Japan kufanele ibe yicala elilula. Izifunda ezinhlanu ze-NATO eYurophu ezigcina izikhali zenuzi zase-US zisekelwe enhlabathini yazo-iJalimane, iNetherlands, iBelgium, i-Italy, neTurkey- zingamathemba amahle okuhlukana nomfelandawonye wenuzi. Ukuvinjelwa okusemthethweni kwezikhali zenuzi kungasetshenziswa ukukholisa amabhange kanye nezikhwama zempesheni emkhankasweni wokukhipha imali, uma sekwaziwa ukuthi izikhali azikho emthethweni.
