Only an iron-clad commitment to total nuclear disarmament, which we do not have, will forestall such a horror. Prevention of all nonpossessors from developing and otherwise acquiring nuclear weapons and their delivery vehicles. These objectives should be achieved as soon as possible through a combination of international treaties and reciprocal national initiatives, carried out with adequate verification. We fervently believe that these recommendations will greatly enhance global security by eliminating the possibility of nuclear war. Furthermore, the resources of human talent, production capacity, and money released can become available to deal with urgent human problems around the globe.
Nuclear abolition provides great hope for global peace and prosperity.
A world free of nuclear weapons is a human right for us and future generations. Nuclear weapons serve no justifiable military purpose and pose a threat to all forms of life. Reliance by governments on these weapons of indiscriminate mass destruction is immoral and must be ended. The responsibility for ending this reliance lies with all people on Earth, particularly the citizens of the nuclear weapons states. We support the goal of nuclear disarmament.
