For over four decades Angie has campaigned for a greener, fairer
and safer world. This remarkable account of her campaigning life
shares some of the lessons she has learnt from her actions in many
different countries. Heartfelt but clear, it includes personal
insights into mobilising for effective, sustainable actions,
dealing with security, police and courts and how seemingly
different issues are actually closely intertwined. This unique book
covers nuclear weapons, militarism, climate change, corporate
abuses of power, environmental destruction and much more.
Challenging the legality of UK nuclear policy as a further
generation of nuclear-armed submarines is developed, Trident and
International Law asks who is really accountable for Coulport and
Faslane. The UK government in Westminster controls nuclear policy
decisions even though Britain's nuclear submarines and warheads are
all based in Scotland, at Faslane and Coulport. The Scottish
Government therefore has responsibilities under domestic and
international law relating to the deployment of nuclear weapons in
Scotland. Public concern about nuclear deployments, and
particularly the security and proliferation implications of
modernising Trident, led the Acronym Institute for Disarmament
Diplomacy, the Edinburgh Peace and Justice Centre and Trident
Ploughshares to organise an international conference on 'Trident
and International Law: Scotland's Obligations' in Edinburgh in
2009. This book presents the key papers and documents, with
additional arguments from renowned legal scholars. The findings
should be of interest to lawyers, policymakers and citizens with
interest or responsibilities in legal and nuclear issues, public
safety and human security. Whilst focusing on Scotland, this book
raises serious questions for nuclear weapon deployments worldwide.
A series of essays that are intended to educate the public as to
why nuclear weapons in the UK are detrimental to many aspects of
society, not only within the UK itself but also to citizens all
over the world. Questions whether nuclear weapons in the UK
reflects on the integrity of the country and its ability to act
with wider public interest.
