The Australian Department of Defence has a webpage all about UXO - unexploded ordinance. But it’s about UXO in Australia. The page says nothing about lethal Australian unexploded ordnance left behind in other countries we've been at war with. Not Vietnam or Afghanistan or Iraq. All of these wars are closely linked to our engagement with ANZUS, but without any enduring sense of responsibility for the damage caused to civilians by our involvement. The environmental and public health issue of UXO, just like Agent Orange, reminds us that wars can remain lethal for generations after the conflict has apparently concluded. In Vietnam UXO is still taking lives and limbs more than forty years later. In Laos, worst hit by the USA's illegal bombing war in the 1960s, there remains an ongoing need for de-mining. But the relatively small amount the USA has been offering may have just become a bargaining chip in the United States' and Australia's attempt to slow down the signing of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.

Our current historical moment is one of profound global friction and uncertainty.

In the face of these perilous times, the growing imperative of a coordinated global ban on nuclear weapons is undeniable. Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2017, the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) is working tirelessly to bring to an end to the most destructive weapon ever created. Originating in Australia in 2007, ICAN is a coalition of grassroots non-government groups in more than 100 nations.

UN negotiations for a nuclear weapon ban treaty started with a one week session at the UN at the end of March. The aim of the ban is to de-legimatise nuclear bombs and put them on the same legal footing as other weapons of mass destruction, working much like the prohibitions on the use of chemical and biological weapons. This show includes a speech at the UN by Aunty Sue Coleman-Haseldine, a Kokatha elder and nuclear bomb survivor from South Australia, and Tilman Ruff, one of the founder of International Campaign Against Nuclear Weapons or ICAN and co-president of the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War.Music by Combat Wombat (Go to combatwombat.com.au to hear their new album)
