Julie Schelling with Voices for a World Free of Nuclear Weapons interviews Voices Founding Member and Chair of GSI’s Nonpartisan Security Group, Ambassador Thomas Graham Jr.
Ambassador Graham reads from a compelling speech he gave for the Coalition for Peace Action in Princeton NJ on August 5th 2021. His speech was given in commemoration of the Atomic Bomb attack on the city of Hiroshima, 76 years ago. He discusses the role of nuclear weapons and makes the case for the importance of the United States to declare formally, NO FIRST USE of nuclear weapons, that it will never be the first to use nuclear weapons in a conflict or in any other way.
Although we may not be able to eliminate every nuclear weapon from the planet, we can minimize the threat of accidents, miscalculations, or aggressive acts by some states.
The Global Security Institute is dedicated to strengthening international peace and security based on co-operation, diplomacy, shared interests, the rule of law and universal values. Our efforts are guided by the skills and commitment of our team of former heads of state, distinguished diplomats and politicians, celebrities, religious leaders, Nobel Peace Laureates, disarmament and legal experts, and concerned informed citizens. Our focus is on controlling and eliminating humanity’s greatest threat – nuclear weapons.
