Courage of Margaret Chan WHO Director General, on ionising radiation

by Christina MacPherson

HISTORY WAS MADE. Marion Odell, 29 Sept 2012 On May 12, 2011 history was
quietly made when courageous WHO Director-General Margaret Chan said “There
is no safe low level of radiation."

Until May 12, 2011, the World Health Organization (WHO) always followed the
lead of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on nuclear health
effects issues as there is a 1959 agreement that WHO would accept the
findings of that organization. This agreement is still in effect and
hopefully will be rescinded soon.

However this most likely will need some considerable political pressure from
the
public. It is imperative that we support this tremendously important
pronouncement and spread the message far and wide. This is a breakthrough
that will impress the public because of the prestige of the World Health
Organization and the integrity of the
Director-General Dr. Margaret Chan.

The letter to Director-General Dr. Margaret Chan from the International
Institute of Concern for Public appears below. It can also be seen at
iicph.org/330.
