Global Community: Eliminate and prohibit nuclear weapons Why this is important to me The aim is zero nuclear weapons - the prohibition and complete elimination of nuclear weapons under strict and effective international control - was first affirmed by UN General Assembly resolution 1 (1) on January 24, 1946. A reliance on nuclear deterrence by some countries in response to regional and international tensions since then has thwarted the achievement of this goal. However, a number of recent developments bring this goal into sight. These include globalization, the strengthening of international law, a growing public aversion to all weapons of mass destruction and the increasing effectiveness of the United Nations and their cooperative security mechanisms to address core security issues. The UN provides the principal environment for the international community to implement the collective obligation and the global common good to achieve a nuclear weapons free world. Nuclear abolition will require action at all levels, public, city, national, regional and international and in many forums not just the United Nations. We need the public to petition their respective governments at all levels to abolish nuclear warfare! Posted July 30, 2014 Created by Anna G.
