• Reaching Critical Will strives for the abolition of nuclear weapons. As a project of the oldest women’s peace organisation in the world, RCW recognises that nuclear weapons play an integral role in the militarism, ecological destruction, and social injustice plauging our world today. Therefore, RCW works not just for nuclear abolition but also for total and universal disarmament, the reduction of global military spending, and demilitarisation of politics and society.
• Disarmament cannot be for the sake of disarmament itself. It must be for the promotion of true human security and all life on the planet. To advocate successfully for nuclear disarmament and human security, civil society needs to establish a discourse that helps us to understand the relationship between nuclear weapons and the structures that maintain them and to identify those who benefit from the maintenance of nuclear weapons. Reaching Critical Will seeks to help this discourse … (about 1/2).

About WILPF.
About Reaching Critical Will / … Philosophy:

WILPF created Reaching Critical Will because it believes:

• Nuclear disarmament is inevitable. The majority of governments and people want disarmament and will eventually succeed in eliminating these suicidal, genocidal and ecocidal weapons. The movement for a world free of nuclear weapons has been expressed from the moment the government of the United States of America invented the atomic bomb, and it will continue until it succeeds in ending the nuclear age. This brutal era of belief in war and violence will be remembered by future generations as an embarrassing lapse in human evolution.
• Nuclear disarmament is democracy. The peoples of the world have shown through polls and various demonstrations of the public conscience, that they oppose nuclear weapons and support their quick abolition. The vast majority of governments also express support for nuclear abolition, but those expressions have not been strong, loud, or coordinated enough to force those governments with nuclear weapons to get rid of them.
• Nuclear disarmament will require coordinated and sustained effort on the part of governments, non-governmental organizations and the United Nations. For non-governmental organizations, and concerned individual to act, they need information, primary documents and analysis. Reaching Critical Will collects, packages and often translates disarmament related information into terms ordinary people can understand.

Methods:

• Reaching Critical Will advocates—at the United Nations and through WILPF members and others at the grassroots level—to affect perceptions and policies on issues related to nuclear weapons. It engages with governments at the UN, promoting transparency, accountability, and debate, and with the general public, helping people understand how nuclear weapons are discussed by governments at the UN. Reaching Critical Will works to foster greater understanding of the issues through critical analysis and by engaging citizens in strategic organising and advocacy that builds momentum in movements working to abolish nuclear weapons.
• Reaching Critical Will was designed to increase the quality and quantity of NGO preparation and participation in UN disarmament processes and of NGO interaction with governments and the United Nations; to provide logistical support in facilitating activities during relevant conferences tailored for policy-makers and the public; and to provide accurate and timely reporting on all relevant conferences and initiatives so that those unable to attend can stay informed.
• By both inspiring and informing, Reaching Critical Will’s tools encourage individuals to get involved. Those who use Reaching Critical Will’s resources contribute actively to the goal of disarmament by engaging with their local grassroots organizations, working at the level of their national governments, and collaborating with one another through a variety of international channels.

We believe the success of Afro-Americans is bound up with the emancipation of all African peoples and also other dependent peoples and laboring classes everywhere – also in espanol

The idea of foreign policy advocacy organization germinated at the Black Leadership Conference convened by the Congressional Black Caucus in September, 1976.  The conference concluded that the conspicuous absence of African Americans in high-level international affairs positions, and the general neglect of African and Caribbean priorities, could only be corrected by the establishment of a private advocacy organization. An ad hoc committee consisting of Randall Robinson, Herschelle Challenor, and Willard Johnson formulated an organization design. On July 1, 1977, TransAfrica, a nonprofit organization was incorporated in Washington, D.C. with Randall Robinson as executive director … (about /History 1/2).

total debt cancellation for poverty reduction

• HUMAN-NEEDS BASED DEBT SUSTAINABILITY ANALYSIS:  A MAJOR CHALLENGE FOR ZAMBIA – August 2005; With the attainment of the HIPC Completion point in April this year, Zambia is now faced with a great challenge of comprehending the meaning of debt sustainability.  The country’s 5 years’ experience of implementing the HIPC initiative continues to show the dangers of basing debt sustainability on a narrow economic and financial definition.
• The Meaning of the HIPC Completion Point to Zambia is it Worthwhile? – The Heavily Indebted Poor Countries Initiative (HIPC) was initially introduced by the international creditor community in 1996 and was “enhanced” in 1999.  The IMF and World Bank assumed the role of “gate keepers” in this initiative- to ensure that this initiative was to be accompanied by “sound” macro-economic policy … (full text HIPC Centre, see also on IMF).
