metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This case study describes activities from the Dutch Association for Medical Polemology (IPPNW-
  affiliate NVMP-Physicians for Peace) from 1969 onwards, focused primarily on recent
  strategies, employed by civil society, to influence Dutch policies regarding the urgency of abolishing
  nuclear weapons due to their unacceptable medical and humanitarian consequences.
  By itself and together with other civil society organisations, NVMP promoted an active Dutch
  nuclear disarmament policy, specifically regarding the Non-Proliferation Treaty with its Article-
  VI Global Zero-obligations, and the United Nations’ Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear
  Weapons (TPNW). Several achievements of the NVMP are highlighted, from the Medical
  Appeal (2015) to the 50th anniversary Congress (Hague Peace Palace, November 26, 2019) and
  its aftermath. After presenting his major findings and conclusions, the author shares some experience-
  based, policy-oriented recommendations about the specific physicians’ position and
  their medical-humanitarian message, followed by suggestions on strategies for reaching out
  to politicians, decision-makers, and statesmen that can help IPPNW affiliates elsewhere, and
  other civil society organizations, who are promoting a nuclear weapon-free world. Finally, the
  author petitions to repeat successful early 1980s Russian-American IPPNW initiatives, which
  were directly aimed at their political leaders. The article concludes with the presentation of
  one initiative.
