U.S., UK, and French nuclear tests in the Pacific caused lasting harm, prompting calls for apology and justice from Pacific nations.
Nuclear testing by the U.S., UK, and France in the Pacific from the 1940s to the 1990s left lasting environmental and health damage, particularly in the Marshall Islands, where 67 U.S. tests occurred.
In 2024, Marshall Islands President Hilda Heine called on the UN to apologize for enabling the tests, while former President Donald Trump’s proposal to restart U.S. testing sparked regional alarm.
Pacific leaders and activists warn renewed testing could trigger an arms race, deepen trauma, and undermine disarmament efforts, urging the U.S. to support nuclear-free treaties and provide justice, compensation, and environmental remediation.
