| History : |
Campaign for International Co-operation and Disarmament (CICD) was first established as the Congress for International Co-operation and Disarmament (CICD) in 1959. Founded by peace activists, unionists and church leaders the group advocated a holistic approach to peace and nuclear disarmament. Post its name change (c.1987), the organisation continued to actively campaign against uranium mining, the use and testing of nuclear weapons by the Soviets and the French, the placement of American military bases in the Pacific Region, the Gulf Wars, and refugee justice and for human rights. In 2009 it held its 50th Anniversary of active campaigning making it the longest serving peace organisation in Australia.
