Association 193 is an anti-nuclear non-governmental organisation in French Polynesia. The association is named for the 193 nuclear weapons tests conducted by France at Moruroa and Fangataufa between 1966 and 1996.[1] It was established in 2014 to preserve the historical memory of nuclear testing and campaign for the French government to tell the truth about its impacts and compensate victims.[1]

The association initially called for 2 July - the date of the first French nuclear test in Polynesia - to be made a formal date of commemoration.[1] In January 2016 it launched its first major campaign, a petition for a referendum on the nuclear issue and on compensation.[2] By February 2016 the petition had more than 30,000 signatures.[3] It also worked with Mururoa e Tatou to organise a series of demonstrations around the visit of French President François Hollande.[4] In July 2016 it organised an exhibition and public demonstration to mark the 50th anniversary of the first nuclear test.[5][6] In October 2016 it successfully opposed plans for potentially contaminated gravel from Hao atoll to be used in road construction on Rikitea.[7][8] In January 2017 it created a unit to assist test victims to claim compensation from the French government.[9]

In August 2017 the association celebrated its third anniversary and announced its support for a campaign by the Maohi Protestant Church to pursue France for crimes against humanity in the International Criminal Court.[10][11]

In March 2020 the association denounced changes to France's nuclear compensation law which would make it more difficult for victims to obtain compensation.[12][13] It also denounced an attempt to further limit compensation via a clause slipped in to COVID-19 legislation.[14]
