By Douglas Roche
Beyond the widely publicized news of war, poverty, and human rights violations is the uplifting awakening of concern for our fellow human beings as nations are calling for a new global ethic to make the world a better place.
By looking at what we have achieved, we are able to provide hope and empowerment. A "Yes, I can make a difference" mentality allows us to break free of the immobilizing fear, affirming that the route to public policies built on global conscience is possible.
DOUGLAS ROCHE is an author, parliamentarian, and diplomat who specializes in peace and human security issues. He is a member of the Pugwash Council, which in 1995 won the Nobel Peace Prize for its work on nuclear disarmament. |

The Second Nuclear Age has begun, one in which nuclear weapons are no longer just for deterrence but for war-fighting strategies. Unimaginable catastrophes for humanity lie ahead unless the present trend to the proliferation of nuclear weapons is stopped. Former Senator Douglas Roche’s latest book describes the actions taken by a number of governments and civil society working for a nuclear weapons-free world. Getting “Beyond Hiroshima” is a realistic hope. Roche, who has worked on the nuclear weapons issue as a parliamentarian, diplomat and educator for 30 years, shows how that hope can come alive.
“[Douglas Roche] builds up a political, moral and religious case, drawing on his thirty years’ experience working on nuclear issues as a parliamentarian, diplomat and educator.”
— Dr. Jaynatha Dhanapala
