Over French Tests
The South Pacific Forum’s decision to back an Australia-New Zealand- Fiji approach to United Nations members to whip up opposition to nuclear testing in the South Pacific has pleased the members of ATOM, the Suva-based anti-test body.
It said so after the Forum’s second session, but it wants an Island leader to introduce the resolution in the UN’s General Assembly. It doesn’t trust Australia and New Zealand who, it says, “protest largely for political reasons” and “are not par ticularly concerned about health hazards to South Pacific people”.
