Party Leaders Propose Scottish Constitutional Ban on
Nukes
A constitution developed for a post-secession Scotland could demand that
all nuclear weapons be removed from the country, the Sunday Herald
reported.
The Scottish National Party hopes that a 2014 referendum will allow
Scotland to become completely independent of the United Kingdom.
Should that occur, the party then wants to eject the Vanguard-class
submarines and nuclear-tipped missiles now kept at bases at Faslane
and Coulport "There would be a constitutional provision that
weapons of mass destruction, nuclear weapons, would be illegal
under the terms of the constitution," according to one high-level
party insider. "It underlines the absolute commitment of the SNP to
removing nuclear weapons. Angus wants to underline the point that
NATO membership would be conditional on Scotland not having nuclear
weapons", writes Global Security Newswire

Den internationale børnefredspris kandidat Malala
Yousafzai skudt
14-årige Malala Yousafzai kæmper for sit liv på
et hospital i
Pakistan, efter at hun tidligere på ugen blev skudt af
Taliban terrorister.
Børnesagsforkæmperen Yousafzai blev internationalt
kendt, da hun for tre år siden skrev en blog hos britiske
BBC. Her beskrev hun, hvordan Taliban brændte pigeskoler ned
og begik overgreb mod befolkningen i Swat-dalen. Den 14-årige
pige modtog sidste år Pakistans første nationale
fredspris / National Peace Award og blev desuden nomineret til den
internationale børnefredspris af organisationen Kids Rights
Foundation i 2011.

Children’s Peace Prize nominee Malala Yousafzai
shot
By: KidsRights - http://childrenspeaceprize.org/
14 year old Malala Yousafzai, one of the 2011 nominees for the
International Children’s Peace Prize, was severely injured in
her hometown in the Swat Valley, Pakistan.
Malala was attacked along with 2 other girls on their way back from
school. She was shot in the head and the neck, but successfully
operated on in the hospital. The attack has already been claimed by
the Taliban.
In 2011, Malala became one of the nominees for the International
Children’s Peace Prize for her brave efforts to defend the
basic rights of children in Pakistan, namely the right of girls to
education. Malala is one of the few who stood up against the
Talibanisation. She raised her voice for girls education, something
the Taliban in her country tried to get banned. This makes her
extremely brave but also vulnerable.
KidsRights strongly resents this attack against Malala. The rights
of children should be respected everywhere in the world and
children who actively promote them, should be honoured and listened
to. Malala did not win the International Children’s Peace
Prize 2011, but was awarded the National Peace Award by the
Pakistan government that same year.
The International Children’s Peace Prize is presented
annually to an exceptional child, whose courageous or otherwise
remarkable acts and thoughts have made a difference in countering
problems, which affect children around the world. The prize is an
initiative of the Dutch organisation KidsRights and was launched
during 2005 Nobel Peace Laureates’ Summit by Mikhail
Gorbachev.
