LONDON: Advocate B.S. Jamwal, a jurist from Jammu and lifetime member of the Supreme Bar Association of India, was conferred the rare distinction of being invited to participate in the International Protest March for Disarmament and a Peaceful World at Speakers’ Corner, Hyde Park, London.
The event, organised by the International Council of Jurists, commemorated the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and highlighted global calls for nuclear disarmament, peace, and international cooperation.
In recognition of his presence and support, Jamwal was presented with a certificate of appreciation by the President of the International Council of Jurists. He attended the march alongside legal luminaries, peace activists, bar leaders, social leaders, and religious figures from around the world, all advocating for a safer and more peaceful global environment.
Hailing from an agriculturist family in the remote village of Tarlokpur, Tehsil and District Samba, Jamwal has previously brought recognition to India and the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir through his legal and social contributions. Known for his dedication and belief in the principle “work is worship”, he described disarmament as more than a legal term – a heartfelt plea for justice, human rights, and peace for millions affected by conflict.
Speaking at the event, Jamwal said London, with its own history of wartime devastation, stands as a global forum for dialogue on peace. He emphasised that the march serves as a reminder of the catastrophic consequences of war and nuclear weapons and called for collective efforts to dismantle nuclear arsenals and resolve conflicts peacefully.
Jamwal’s participation in this historic international gathering underscores his commitment to justice, human dignity, and nuclear non-proliferation, marking another milestone in his distinguished career as a jurist and peace advocate.
