Nuclear Action during CTBT Conference in Geneva Switzerland

Forty Greenpeace activists turned the UN site in a nuclear test area for the start of the second round of negotiations on a Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) at the UN in Geneva. Greenpeace asks the participating countries to finally realize the agreement. At the entrance of the site a checkpoint was built with the inscription: "All nuclear tests pollute the earth - Ban all tests now!"

Greenpeace says the overwhelming international outcry against French and Chinese nuclear tests in 1995 shows clearly that the world wants an international ban to stop nuclear weapons testing this year.
