CNDP Statement on Nuclear test by North Korea

The Coalition of Nuclear Disarmament and Peace(CNDP) strongly condemns the nuclear weapons test by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK). The North Korean regime, which is highly authoritarian and militarist, has tried to consolidate itself internally through such aggressive moves. Carried out in defiance of the opinions of international citizens groups desirous of peace, this display of nuclear bravado will only embolden the nuclear hawks in other countries, including the United States, Japan and South Korea, thereby promoting the possibility of further nuclear weapons acquisition while adding fuel to regional and global militarization and arms racing.

CNDP welcomes revocation of the in Tripura

We, on behalf of the Coalition for Nuclear Disarmament and Peace(CNDP), heartily welcome the Tripura government’s decision to lift the notorious Armed Forces Special Powers Act(AFSPA) which has been used for providing impunity for the armed forces in the Jammu & Kashmir and the North-Eastern states. The brutally violent instances of murder and rape of innocent civilians in these regions of India since the 1950s remain a blot over the self-proclaimed world’s largest democracy. The continued existence of the AFSPA has only fuelled more violence and militarism.
