Report the UK

News in Brief

The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) is collecting thousands of signatures to report the UK to the UN for breaching its obligations under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

CND will pass the petition to the president of the next NPT Review Conference (postponed to sometime next year).

By signing and ratifying the NPT, the UK committed itself 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’ (Article VI).

Instead, the British government is upgrading its nuclear weapon system, increasing the number of nuclear warheads, and saying there are more situations in which it might use the Bomb. You can sign the CND petition: 020 7700 2393; www.cnduk.org
