This is a single topic update, sent to us by Kate Kheel on behalf of Stop 5G and International Stop 5G. These letters, IMHO especially the open letter to the UN, should be sent to every MP and MLA. The argument against 5G is compelling, especially this from page 4:
“Given that no one can opt out of continuous exposure to wireless radiation, the industry is, in effect, conducting an “experiment” on our children and on all global citizens without informed consent — a breach of the 1947 Nuremberg Code 8, and of the United Nations’ International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.”
“Three letters that may prove useful for public outreach.
1. Open Letter to the United Nations from Stop 5G International
2. Response Letter to the EU signed by 72 Organizations Dedicated to Protecting Public Health
3. Letter to the United Nations and World Health Organization from Professor Olle Johansson
1. Open Letter to the United Nations from Stop 5G International
This Open Letter to the United Nations High Commissioner on Human Rights covers a wide array of issues and may prove useful in informing public officials of the numerous largely unaddressed harms of 5G.
The letter presents the many and multifaceted reasons for worldwide mounting resistance to 5G. These include impacts on health, wildlife, privacy, self-sovereignty, cyber security, e-footprint from energy consumption and e-waste, conflict minerals, Electromagnetic Sensitivity, harsh worker conditions, psycho-social effects, unquantified public subsidies, and liability.
Problems from satellites include increased endangerment of global security, interference with weather prediction and astronomical research, space debris and likely collisions, depletion of the ozone layer, loss of enjoyment of the night skies, interference with wildlife navigation and orientation, dangers posed from solar flares, ever more radiation emissions, and the, as yet, unstudied effects on planetary life.
All to the backdrop of no public consultation or consent.
The letter also explains that not all technology is created equal. Although the telecom industry is promoting 5G to “bridge the digital divide”, wired connections would be far superior as they are safer, faster, more reliable, energy efficient, and cyber secure than wireless.
Furthermore, a primarily wired tech future not only better preserves public health and privacy, it addresses other human rights violations and environmental problems brought on by 5G. Wired does not lend itself to connecting every “thing”, moment in time, and point in space to the internet, thus automatically reducing e-waste, tech addiction, data-harvesting, tracking, mandatory exposure to wireless radiation, EMF refugees, property devaluation, and the “need” for satellites.
The letter calls for advocacy, education, regulation, and less radiation.
. A move toward wired technology for all as a fundamental human right in today’s world.
. Public education about technology, including full disclosure of the health and environmental costs of a hyper-connected, predominantly wireless world, and the benefits of safer wired choices.
. Greater regulation of industry on the placement of wireless infrastructure, and its use only where deemed an “essential service” not possible with wired connections.
. Standard setting bodies and health organizations providing more protective RF guidelines that take into account: duration of exposure, distance from source, aggregate exposures, and the unique characteristics of every life form that will be impacted.
. Infrastructure choices returned to local communities as they know what is best for their citizens.
. Incentives given to industry to provide safer technology.

2. Response Letter to the EU Officials
On October 13, fifteen countries from within the European Union sent a joint letter alerting European Commission officials to “increasing activity in the anti-5G movement” across Europe and warning that such activities could hinder the EU’s efforts to meet its “ambitious 5G goals.” The letter urged the European Union to create a “joint initiative on counteracting the spread of disinformation related to 5G networks and the need of public awareness raising activities.”
In response, 72 organizations, dedicated to protecting public health and the environment, sent a joint letter to European Commission Officials. The letter calls for 1) the elimination of bias from regulatory bodies; 2) the support of independent science; and 3) full public consultation on how best to integrate technology into our lives so as to maximize the benefits and minimize the harms.
NB: As the letter was time sensitive, we had to limit the number of organizations contacted.

3. Letter to the United Nations and World Health Organization from Professor Olle Johansson
In this letter to the UN and WHO, former associate professor Olle Johansson, retired from the world-famous Karolinska Institute and the equally famous Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden, focuses primarily on the health impacts from radiofrequency microwave radiation (RF/MW)
Speaking to public officials Professor Johansson writes, “You, and your peers, have an incredible opportunity to protect the public now and work with the industry to bring biologically safe technology to market, one of the solutions would be to have shielded wired connections instead of wireless. You are part of the future, and this time in another moral-ethical realm.””
