What disarmament initiatives will Britain bring to the table?




CND Action: Write to your MP today
The 2007 nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Preparatory Committee will meet beginning on the 30th of April to work on an agenda of nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation. The agenda will be discussed in full at the 2010 NPT Review Conference.
Britain and the other Nuclear Weapon States are required under Article VI of the NPT to ‘pursue negotiations in good faith on effective measures relating to cessation of the nuclear arms race at an early date and to nuclear disarmament, and on a Treaty on general and complete disarmament under strict and effective international control.’
Write to your MP today, asking her/him to find out from the government what nuclear disarmament initiatives it will be pursuing at the 2007 NPT Prep Com in Vienna. A draft Nuclear Weapons Convention, which would ban all nuclear weapons, is already lodged with the UN.
Click here for a recent poll which shows that 64% of the British public want the government to support such a Convention.
