Finnish nuclear weapons policy should decrease rather than increase the dependency on nuclear weapons, globally and locally. Nuclear deterrence is not credible in case of Finland (and many other jurisdictions), and the idea of a controllable, limited nuclear war is simply dangerous. Overall, the if transferring, deploying, or other ways of using and utilizing nuclear weapons are thought as effective steering mechanisms in international relations and foreign policy, please think again. Thanks to Kanava, the leading intellectual periodical in Finland, for publishing my piece and kudos for the appropriate cover! Kustannusosakeyhtiö Otava

The International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons is observed annually on September 26. This day aims to promote global awareness about the urgent need for nuclear disarmament and to encourage efforts towards a world free of nuclear weapons. Established by the United Nations, it serves as a reminder of the devastating humanitarian consequences of nuclear weapons and the necessity for multilateral dialogue to achieve total disarmament.
