Abstract:
In the present report, IKV and Pax Christi provide a brief history of nuclear armament and the resistance to it. It addresses the various ways in which nuclear weapons can be regarded and the arguments for and against disarmament. The organisations also provide a survey of the current challenges facing the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and of the opportunities for strengthening it. Moreover, they explore the importance of Nuclear Weapon-Free Zones (NWFZs) as prelude to a world free of nuclear weapons. The four chapters lead to a strategy for achieving a world free of nuclear weapons – and an appeal to political leaders and society to line up behind this strategy.
