ABOUT MSG

The Association World Without War works promoting and impelling all kinds of ideas and actions that help to achieve that the wars are eliminated in the world. His methodology of action is based on the active Non-violence.

In 1995 his founder Rafael de la Rubia presented World Without Wars for the first time on a global scale in the " Open Meeting of the Humanism " that was realized in Chile (University of Santiago), at which there were present delegations of more than 50 countries.

Since then MSG acts in numerous countries of 5 continents developing multiple activities. On last year it has centred his efforts prioritizing campaigns for the nuclear world disarmament.

MSG is inspired by the philosophy of the Humanism Universalista and the doctrine of those who preceded him, convinced in that is possible to construct a world without violence.

MSG signs and promotes the " Humanist Document " which basic points are:

Countries in those who produced to themselves mobilizations to celebrate the International Day of the Non-violence last October 2, 2007

The return to the world in 90 days

The Big March will begin in New Zealand, the most oriental country of the Earth, will cover nearly 40 countries of 5 continents covering a distance of approximately 65.000 km for ground, sea and air, concluding three months later in Chile, the most western - Antarctic country. It will use all the means of transport. In ground there will be trains, buses, cars, motorbikes, bicycles and on foot. The steps between continents, lakes and rivers will be in planes, ships, barges and canoes.

A team bases perm of approximately 100 persons of different nationalities they will do the finished trip. Along his trip there will be realized festivals, meetings, concerts, conferences, declarations, marches, forums, etc.

Due itinerary of the World March for a World Without Wars

“ So that the clamor of millions is listened in the world that want the peace and the end of the wars. So that the forces of the pacifism and the non-violence are a majority and make to feel his voice. ”

It is the first World March that will cover the whole planet asking for the end of the wars and the nuclear weapon. An organized action for the first time on a global scale that wants to assemble all the organizations and persons who see in the pacifism and the non-violence the real exit to the world situation. It is a denunciation and simultaneously a warning to the violent governments that are taking the humanity to a blind alley. It is an action directed to rescue the best of the diverse cultures and villages of the Earth; directed after make come together the wills of the whole civil society to eliminate definitively the social mark of the wars. When? The march will begin in New Zealand on October 2, day anniversary of the birth of Gandhi and declared by the United Nations, International day of the Non-violence. It will finish in Santiago de Chile on December 30, 2009. It will last 90 days, three long months of trip. It will spend to itself for all the climates and stations, from the torrid summer of tropical areas, several deserts, up to the Siberian winter. The longest stages will be the American and the Asiatic, both of almost one month. Who? The participation in the World March will be much opened to all the individuals and groups that they syntonize with his spirit. They will be able to be informed of very diverse ways: joining the MM and his activities in some part of his trip; Also organizing and promoting activities; and in a Web place it will be possible to take part also virtually. We aspire that are thousands or hundreds of thousands, I hope millions of persons of all the continents.

Why?

• To denounce: The dangerous world situation that takes us progressively towards a blind alley and towards the wars with nuclear armament. What would suppose the biggest human catastrophe of the history.

• To make to listen to the voice: Of the majority of the citizens of the world who are not in favor of the wars and the arms race. Quite we suffer his consequences. Few ones manipulate us because we do not give a close sign. But it is time of that each one shows his position, his rejection. It gives your sign.

• To propose: Disappearance of nuclear weapon. Progressive proportional reduction of the armament. Signature of agreements of not aggression between countries. He gives up of the governments using the wars as way to solve conflicts. To include this topic in the constitutions.

Why?

Because the famine in the world can be solved by 10 % of what wears out in armaments. Can we imagine if 30 or 50 % will be destined, to improve the life of the people instead of applying it in destruction?

Because to eliminate the wars will represent to go out definitively of the human prehistoric times and to pass of giant in the evolutionary way of our species.

Because in this aspiration he accompanies us the force of the voices of thousands of previous generations who suffered the consequences and whose echo keeps on being listened today in all the places where the wars are leaving his sinister stela of dead persons, missing persons, disabled persons, refugees and displaced

Because a “ world without wars ” is a proposal that opens to us the future and aspires to materialize in every corner of the planet so that the dialogue is substituting the violence.

There has come the moment to make to hear the voice of them without voice, million human beings for that they ask out of necessity them to finish the wars: we can obtain it joining all the forces of the pacifism and of the active non-violence of the world.

We summon then both persons and representatives and members of organizations, groups, groups, political parties, companies, whom they plunge to this Big World March for La Paz.

Earlier, during and after the American bombs were falling down on the Persian Gulf, many other front lines were (and they are still) open seas in other corners of the planet. There are the wars forgotten the XXIst century, a score of battles that are not transmitted by the television.

Without importing race, country or nationality, a human life is beautiful in yes same. Three hundred thousand fallen in the ethnic war of Burundi, which takes already ten years, should be so excellent as the death of an American marine in Iraq, although in Burundi the same economic and geopolitical interests are not in game. The war asola the African continent, where the clashes are more numerous and lasting. Western Sahara, Algeria, Somalia, Sudan, Burundi, Zimbabwe, Angola, the Republic Centroafricana, Congo, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Guinea Conakry and Senegal, fight between yes in the most postponed place of the planet. It is not chance that also it is the one that presents the biggest poverty. The abundant mineral wealth that exists in Africa, far from being exploited for the sake of the population, motivates and finances the majority of the conflicts. In Asia also they acquire lethal relevancy the clashes caused by the big variety of religions and ethnic groups, following the same logic that it bathes of blood to the African countries. The interests to dominate the natural and energy resources united to the secular social desigualdades and to the religious sectarianism, are the real engine of the confrontations. Let's remember the clashes in Afghanistan, Kashmir, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Burma, Timor, the Philippines and Korea. The trip for the map of the wars includes also Europe, and atañe to countries that present realities different well from the potency that guide the European Union. For naming the most excellent, Germany, France and Great Britain feign to worry more for continue closely what raisin in Iraq, that for the durísimos nearby conflicts in Kosovo, Chechenia and Nagorno Karabaj. In America, the conflict armed in Colombia - that involves the guerrillas, the paramilitary ones and the drug trafficking - and that of the movements indigenous of Mexico, there are old clashes in a continent for a long time punished by the military dictatorships.

Countries in which at present warlike conflicts of importance exist

 

The nuclear weapon is warlike devices that liberate a big quantity of energy and have a high destructive power and pollutant both for the environment and for the persons. The appearance of first atomic bomb marked his one earlier and one later in the human history. From there the human race it had the possibility of self-destructing completely for the first time in all his history. From a technical point of view, the non-nuclear bombs are based on reactions or processes fisicoquímicos. Essentially they obtain his destructive power of the decomposition or combustion of chemical compounds at high speeds. These bombs work with the most external part of the materials and atoms. On the other hand, the nuclear bombs obtain his power on having provoked a reaction in chain that shoots the energy contained in the heart of the matter: the atoms. The current situation for countries is the following one: Countries that made nuclear weapon, continue with his development and store a number of: 9.900 in the USA, 15.000 in Russia, 200 in the United Kingdom, 350 in France, 80 in Israel, 60 in Pakistan, 50 in India, 200 in China and 10 North Korea. Countries that extraofficially it thinks that they are working to be able to make a nuclear weapon: Libya, Egypt, Syria and Iran. Countries that possess the aptitude to enrich uranium (one of the principal elements to produce atomic weapon): The USA, Russia, China, Holland, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Brazil and Japan. Recently Argentina announced his disposition for enriching uranium again in his nuclear power stations. To these countries it is necessary to add all the members of the NATO, who at present have nuclear North American weapon in his territory; ex-members of the Soviet Union, etc.

Countries that are provided with nuclear warheads at present

That is to say, that today there exist 13 countries that have technical conditions to produce nuclear weapon and to shoot them (because also they possess the aptitude to make missiles). It is necessary to emphasize that the countries of the first block have also submarine and other ships with nuclear weapon opened by the world.

Radio of scope of the missiles with nuclear warhead in the different countries including that of his submarines. The USA, Russia and China possess sufficient aptitude as to send a missile to any place of the planet.

That is to say, today any human being in any point of the world is exposed to be attacked by an atomic weapon.

 

Social effects The holders of nuclear weapon say to have protection systems so that automatic responses do not take place in case of receiving a nuclear attack. According to them the final decision to return an attack will be in hands of a person or a group of qualified persons. If this was true, to have this level of decision in persons who provoke wars permanently in the whole world it still does not constitute a guarantee for anybody. The decision to return the attack or not to do it should take in the first 10 minutes after received the first attack, since not to decide about this term would imply losing practically any capacity of military response. If to this pressure in the time of response, we add the psychological impact caused by an attack, the proper confusions of any critical moment and the political and personal pressures (they they all have his family living in some side), the possibilities that someone decides with common sense come down almost to zero. These conditions can provoke the reaction in chain of all the countries with nuclear weapon and produce a " reciprocal attack " where they all attack all. Surely it is not necessary to emphasize that this would produce an almost entire destruction of the human race. Those that survive an attack of these characteristics would have serious difficulties of obtaining food and water.

Effects in the objects As any other bomb, which produces major damage is the expansive wave. In case of the nuclear bombs a factor of importance is the height to which they detonate. If it exploits to a fall height it produces a big crater but little damage in the place in which it is thrown. If it exploits to a major height of the necessary thing it produces big winds and the effect P.E.M. but it does not destroy the constructions for what the damage is very much minor. For example: The bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were programmed to exploit to 550 meters high since this age the distance in which it would produce an entire devastation. The winds produced by an atomic bomb are equivalent to those of a hurricane and they usually produce damages as minimum in I remove from 25 to 30 kilometers (if it is 10 megatons). As if the hurricane-force wind produced by the expansive wave was not sufficient, the mass of warm gas produced by the bomb vaporiza everything what touches in same radio mentioned previously. The millionth one of second after a nuclear explosion the temperature inside the bomb reaches some 10.000.000th C. Nevertheless, the fires take place mostly for other factors, for example: gas pipes you rotate, wood and burned roles, short circuits, etc. The residual (later) radioactivity and the (immediate) snapshot produced by the explosion propagate for a very wide area of several kilometers.

The residual one produces radioactive rain and usually affects also to areas that were not touched directly by the explosion. According to the height to the one that has exploited the bomb it can change the grade of residual radiation produced (also they influence the climate and the winds in the place). All the water, the ground and all the food touched by the explosion or the radioactive rain remain contaminated during a lot of time. The experience with radioactive rain is small for what cannot determine with accuracy the real duration of the produced contamination. The instantaneous radioactivity is produced by the beams gamma, and the neutrons liberated in the moment of the explosion. Still today there exist persons who suffer the physical aftermath of the explosions in Japan (included the progeny from those who attended the explosion). These effects there must join the effect of the so-called Pulse Electro Magnético (P.E.M.). It is necessary to stand out, that today everything what makes work to a country has electronic or magnetic teams in some point of his trip (water, gas, electricity, communications, etc.). As this pulse produces big voltages, these unburden themselves across the existing lines of TV, electricity, phones, etc. for what can affect many more kilometers than the bomb itself.

Effects in the food chain A nuclear war in big scale might damage the agricultural production by means of a series of mechanisms: Brief episodes of temperatures cold or freezes during the development of the plants, associated with the sharp climatic initial perturbation or with the extreme phenomena produced during a climatic chronic disorder of long duration; Insufficient duration of the period of vegetable development for the maturation of the crops of grain in the average latitudes, like result of long reductions of the average temperatures of a few grades (from 1 to 3 grades celsius for some crops, from 3 to 5 for the majority, from 5 to 7 for almost all the nutritive important crops); An insufficiently integrated thermal period (integration of the temperature during the epoch of culture) resultant of long reductions of a few grades; A period of hours of the insufficient resultant sun of reductions of a few tenths of 1 % in solar incidental light, if they persist during the period of vegetable growth;   Reductions of the precipitation in the period of the crop; Other possible physical disorders, between them the radiation ionizante, the contamination of the air (especially in the areas of low grounds), the acidic located deposition and the increase of the radiations UV-B;

Adverse interactions with the ecological, such effects as the unleashing of plagues or illnesses;   Perturbations of the energy and technological supplying to the agriculture, such as reductions in the supply of fertilizers, insecticides, herbicides, fuels and lubricants for the agricultural machinery, restored for these machines, seeds, labor, economic incentives and agricultural and meteorological prognoses.   Effects in the persons It must be considered that after the streets and avenues are blocked it is almost impossible that a hurt person receives the immediate help that surely he needs, for what the majority of the deaths take place basically for not having received opportune attention. A big number of victims and injured men owe to the indirect effects, especially to the impact of objects that have been thrown by the wind. The human beings exposed to the explosion and up to a radio of 13 km they receive important burns in more than 25 % of the body. The direct observation of the initial fire-ball causes permanent blindness in persons who are up to 25 km from distance.

Nevertheless, any opaque material serves as help in the moment of the explosion. The persons that they are secret or with thick clothes it is possible that they receive burns but hardly these are lethal. Any living being receives a tenth of "Rad" per year and that is normal and it does not generate danger. In general 400 Rad is mortal for a human being. A nuclear bomb can generate million Rad where it begins the explosion although this radiation is rapidly removed by the air. Generally if a person receives more than 400 Rad it is because it is in an area already destroyed by the expansive wave and has few possibilities of surviving.

If the death does not happen in the first 30 days of exhibition to the radiation, any adult person has many possibilities of contracting cancer until several years after the explosion. Also there take place genetic permanent alterations that there affect several later generations not exposed to the explosion. Another topic that affects directly the persons is the pulmonary damage caused by the sudden increase in the atmospheric pressure that takes place. A high risk exists also for the radioactive rain since radioactive nuclei join to the nutritive chain. This can be for the food consumed by persons and animals. All this there must join the serious psychological damage produced in the populations.
