We want a Middle East free of all weapons of mass destruction, under permanent international inspection. The international inspection will include representatives from every state in the region, who will be answerable to the international inspection authority. These teams will be present in all the countries of the region, will put a disarmament and inspection agreement into practice, and will ensure that there are no weapons, materials, or equipment used for nuclear, biological, chemical or other weapons of mass destruction.

Girl / Nazim Hikmet

I am the one knocking at the gates,
gate after gate.
In your eyes you will not see me,
the dead are not seen.
I died in Hiroshima
ten years ago.
I am a girl of seven,
dead children do not grow.
My eyes blazed and burned,
my hair caught fire.
I became a handful of ash,
my ashes scattered on the wind.
For myself I ask nothing,
only for the sake of the children.
For the sake of a child who went up in flames like paper,
before he had time to taste sweets.
I am knocking at your door,
uncle, aunt, give your signature:
that no more children should die,
that they should be able to eat sweets.

1956, translated from Turkish by Ofra Bangio.
