UN human rights office urges U.S. to provide full reparations for Marshall Islands nuclear tests

The UN human rights office has called on the United States to ensure "full and effective remedies" for the human rights impact of its nuclear testing program in the Marshall Islands. Between 1946 and 1958, 67 U.S. nuclear tests were conducted in the Pacific nation, with lasting environmental and health consequences, including elevated cancer rates among Marshallese families.
