Vredesactie

Vredesactie is a Belgian pacifist peace organisation and WRI member, mostly working with nonviolent direct action campaigns. It works on military globalisation, nuclear weapons and weapons trade. It is the driving force behind the Bombspotting-campaign and the direct actions against the Iraq war in Belgium (Trainstopping - blockading military transports).

Bomspotting

Bombspotting campaigns against nuclear weapons since 1997. After the decision of the International Court of Justice on nuclear weapons in 1996 we can conclude that nuclear weapons in NATO are as illegal as elsewhere. After the model of the UN inspections for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq Bombspotting started with non-violent citizens inspections of military bases with nuclear weapons. This grew into a campaign of tresspassing actions with more than 1000 participants.
