Svenska FN-förbundet: Porta ryska kärnvapen ur FN

Det ryska kärnvapenföretaget Rosatom är medlem i FN:s företagsnätverk Global Compact. Det går emot organisationens arbete mot kärnvapen, skriver Annelie Börjesson vid Svenska FN-förbundet på SvD Debatt.

Rosatom är den ryska statens företag för kärnkrafts- och kärnvapenproduktion och Börjesson ställer sig frågande kring hur FN kan tillåta detta.

Hon menar att FN bör porta Rosatom och se över sina företagssamarbeten.

”Det är också ett sätt att visa att världen inte glömmer offren för bomben mot Hiroshima 1945 – eller alla de miljarder människor som fortfarande hotas av dessa vapen”, avslutar hon.
