Title: Japan Congress Against A- and H-Bombs (GENSUIKIN)

URL: http://www.peace-forum.com/gensuikin

Description: The Japan Congress Against A- and H-Bombs (GENSUIKIN) is an anti-nuclear advocacy group with its organizational roots in the anti-nuclear armament movement of the 1950s. The group's focus has since expanded to include protest against the use of nuclear energy and promotion of clean energy. GENSUIKIN was established in 1965, and is one of Japan's largest anti-nuclear and peace movement organizations. The group sponsors two major annual events: a public rally held in March, "3-1 Bikini Day," commemorates the crew of the fishing boat Daigo Fukuryu-Maru (Lucky Dragon), which was exposed to fallout from nuclear testing at Bikini in 1954; the World Congress Against A- and H-Bombs is held in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August, the month when atomic bombs were dropped on those cities. The group's core activities include efforts to foster solidarity with anti-nuclear activists around the world; anti-nuclear pro-peace campaigns; various initiatives toward a nuclear-free society; and activities in support of radiation victims. The organization's position is based on the understanding that human beings and "nukes" can never be compatible.

Title: Japan Council Against Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs (Gensuikyo)

URL: http://www.antiatom.org/

Description: Gensuikyo was formed in 1955 at the height of anti-nuclear-testing movement in Japan. While the group protests nuclear warfare and advocates for the human rights of atomic bomb and nuclear testing victims, its reluctance to support a comprehensive ban on nuclear armament and unwillingness to renounce non-arms use of nuclear energy led to the separation and formation of another organization, Gensuikin, in 1965. Since its founding Gensuikyo has developed many forms of action to achieve three basic goals: 1) the prevention of nuclear war, 2) a ban on and the elimination of nuclear weapons, 3) relief for and solidarity with the Hibakusha, the A-bomb sufferers, through the annual World Conference Against A & H Bombs, which takes place every August, constant and nationwide signature campaigns for a ban on nuclear weapons, and other events and actions in cooperation with the Hibakusha to publicize the damage and health effects of the A-bombings to the general public.

To date, the environmental situation in Russia is abysmal; in the environmental rankings, Russia ranks 106th, behind leaders in pollution, such as India and China.
