A word of caution: as e-mail becomes increasingly popular, many users are experiencing 'e-mail fatigue' from the amount of mail, list server, and conference messages. Also, in some countries, messages are billed by the number of characters received, which can make e-mail prohibitively expensive for some. Therefore, please keep messages as short as possible and avoid duplicating information from other conferences.

Activists met together to write the following statement that has become the founding document of the Abolition 2000 Network. Over 600 NGOs on six continents have now signed it and are actively working in ten working groups to accomplish the eleven points listed here. To sign on to this statement please send a fax or email stating the contact name, organization name, address, fax, telephone and email to: Pamela Meidell, Facilitator, Abolition 2000 Global Network Office, P.O.

Further, the inextricable link between the "peaceful" and warlike uses of nuclear technologies and the threat to future generations inherent in creation and use of long-lived radioactive materials must be recognized. We must move toward reliance on clean, safe, renewable forms of energy production that do not provide the materials for weapons of mass destruction and do not poison the environment for thousands of centuries. The true "inalienable" right is not to nuclear energy, but to life, liberty and security of person in a world free of nuclear weapons. We recognize that a nuclear weapons free world must be achieved carefully and in a step by step manner. We are convinced of its technological feasibility. Lack of political will, especially on the part of the nuclear weapons states, is the only true barrier. As chemical and biological weapons are prohibited, so must nuclear weapons be prohibited. We call upon all states -- particularly the nuclear weapons states, declared and de facto -- to take the following steps to achieve nuclear weapons abolition. We further urge the states parties to the NPT to demand binding commitments by the declared nuclear weapons states to implement these measures: 1) Initiate immediately and conclude by the year 2000 negotiations on a nuclear weapons abolition convention that requires the phased elimination of all nuclear weapons within a timebound framework, with provisions for effective verification and enforcement.* 2) Immediately make an unconditional pledge not to use or threaten to use nuclear weapons. 3) Rapidly complete a truly comprehensive test ban treaty with a zero threshold and with the stated purpose of precluding nuclear weapons development by all states. 4) Cease to produce and deploy new and additional nuclear weapons systems, and commence to withdraw and disable deployed nuclear weapons systems. 5) Prohibit the military and commercial production and reprocessing of all weapons-usable radioactive materials. 6) Subject all weapons-usable radioactive materials and nuclear facilities in all states to international accounting, monitoring, and safeguards, and establish a public international registry of all weapons-usable radioactive materials. 7) Prohibit nuclear weapons research, design, development, and testing through laboratory experiments including but not limited to non-nuclear hydrodynamic explosions and computer simulations, subject all nuclear weapons laboratories to international monitoring, and close all nuclear test sites. 8) Create additional nuclear weapons free zones such as those established by the treaties of Tlatelolco and Rarotonga. 9) Recognize and declare the illegality of threat or use of nuclear weapons, publicly and before the World Court. 10) Establish an international energy agency to promote and support the development of sustainable and environmentally safe energy sources. 11) Create mechanisms to ensure the participation of citizens and NGOs in planning and monitoring the process of nuclear weapons abolition. A world free of nuclear weapons is a shared aspiration of humanity. This goal cannot be achieved in a non-proliferation regime that authorizes the possession of nuclear weapons by a small group of states. Our common security requires the complete elimination of nuclear weapons. Our objective is definite and unconditional abolition of nuclear weapons. * The convention should mandate irreversible disarmament measures, including but not limited to the following: withdraw and disable all deployed nuclear weapons systems; disable and dismantle warheads; place warheads and weapons-usable radioactive materials under international safeguards; destroy ballistic missiles and other delivery systems. The convention could also incorporate the measures listed above which should be implemented independently without delay. When fully implemented, the convention would replace the NPT. ******************************************************* Abolition 2000 Signup Form (Please feel free to reproduce and distribute).
