10th July 1995
A Personal Appeal To French Scientists
Today is the tenth anniversary of the French bombing of the Rainbow
Warrior ship when peacefully berthed at Auckland harbour in New
Zealand. This act of international state sponsored terrorism
resulted in one death. The death toll would have been considerable
had the the bomb exploded an hour or so earlier.
There should be no place for such state sponsored terrorism - this
was not the action of a civilised nation.
Now it is proposed by France that nuclear tests will resume in the
Pacific in spite of widespread protest. I consider that France has
no right to conduct tests in the Pacific, as indeed has any other
country. The current tests show a degree of colonial arrogance that
should not be part of this age. Just when it seemed we were
eliminating the scourge of nuclear testing France recommences its
testing programme and gives motivation to others to resume tests. For
several years the Pacific has been a nuclear free zone and now France
chooses to arrogantly ignore the wishes of the peoples of the Pacific
and exercise its colonial policies. French people rightfully object
to tests in France and should likewise object to imposing tests on
other peoples.
Even as I write, French commanders have launched a cowardly tear gas
attack on Rainbow Warrior II, one day short of the tenth anniversary
of the French terrorist sinking of the original Rainbow Warrior. The
peoples of the Pacific are very angry at the continued abuse of the
Pacific by the French nation.
Past abuses by France and other nations are no justification
restarting such abuses. As a former resident of New Zealand I
strongly appeal to all French scientists to restore the honour of
France and to demonstrate to the world that France is a civilised
country by vigorous protest to all appropriate French authorities.
