Marshall Islands nuclear test victims still seeking justice

Original: Marshall Islands: Eighty years on, victims of nuclear testing still seeking justice

The UN human rights office is highlighting the plight of Marshall Islands communities affected by US nuclear testing eight decades ago. Victims and their descendants are still demanding acknowledgement, compensation and assistance, arguing that health and environmental consequences of the tests remain unresolved. The appeal marks eighty years since the start of the testing programme.

Why now: The eightieth anniversary of the start of nuclear testing in the Marshall Islands has renewed calls for justice and compensation.
