European Youth Network for Nuclear Disarmament
Welcome to the website of BANg
At the Review Conference of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty at the UNO in 2005 in New York, for the first time youth have been able to raise their voice. Still, the conference failed. Therefore, some youth from Europe decided to found a European Youth Network for Nuclear Disarmament to tackle the threat of nuclear war by youths from all over Europe. So in October 2005 in Milano, Italy BANg was born!
The network intends to offer youth a space to develop and implement their own strategy to achieve peace and nuclear disarmament in Europe and in the world. It is also a marketplace of ideas to exchange successfull experiences, tricks and information.By now, BANg has over 100 members from various organisations in a dozen countries.

Agenda adopted for NPT RevCon! Of critical importance, the smoothest—or at least quickest—adoption of an agenda in recent NPT history occurred Wednesday morning. After intense consultations with all delegations, the chair submitted a draft provisional agenda for the 2010 NPT Review Conference, which the PrepCom adopted without discussion. The agenda is the same as the one used at the 2000 Review Conference, with a minor technical update: in paragraph 16, the phrase “and the final document of the 2000 Review Conference” has been added. The text of the agenda is available at www.reachingcriticalwill.org. The PrepCom also moved quickly though other procedural matters related to the 2010 RevCon

Obama Prague Speech - A nuclear weapons free world
5.4.09
See full text at: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/05/obama-prague-speech-on-nu_n_183219.html The existence of thousands of nuclear weapons is the most dangerous legacy of the Cold War. No nuclear war was fought between the United States and the Soviet Union, but generations lived with the knowledge that their world could be erased in a single flash of light. Cities like Prague that existed for centuries, that embodied the beauty and the talent of so much of humanity, would have ceased to exist.
