Abstract

The article discusses the legacy of nuclear testing in the Pacific, focusing on the impact on the Marshallese people and the author's personal connection to the issue through her father's experiences on Enewetak Atoll. The author reflects on the sacrifices made by the people of Bikini and Enewetak, who lost their homes, culture, and health due to radiation exposure. The United Nations Human Rights Council has been involved in efforts to understand and address the ongoing effects of nuclear testing on the Marshallese people. [Extracted from the article]
