APPEAL TO THE LEADERS OF THE NINE
NUCLEAR WEAPON STATES
(China, France, India, Israel, North Korea, Pakistan, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States)
中文 DEUTSCH ENGLISH FRANÇAIS ITALIAN PORTUGUESE RUSSIAN SPANISH
We, the people of good will, of
all walks of life, living on all continents and professing different creeds and
religions, direct your attention to the threat of an all-out nuclear war that
can erupt very easily either due to deliberate actions of any nuclear weapons
state or because of unintentional, human, technical or other mistake.
We are witnessing that the
threshold for the use of nuclear weapons in a limited or on large-scale attack
recently has been dramatically lowered, bringing the entire world to the brink
of a nuclear Armageddon.
Many high-ranking military and
civilian officials, politicians and experts are openly talking about the
possibility of using nuclear weapons in a first strike attack against any
nation under many pretexts with low-yield or high-yield nuclear charges.
The United States in fact has
withdrawn from a number of rather well-known and useful nuclear arms control
treaties and accords for dubious reasons and illogical explanations.
Nuclear arms delivery vehicles
are becoming more sophisticated, faster and more precise. They have been
combined into a dangerous combination of arms embracing strategic and tactical
nuclear weapons with missile defense assets and conventional capabilities, and
with a possibility to place strike weapons in space, including missile defense
systems and anti-satellite weapons.
Many military exercises that
earlier have been conducted with the use of conventional weapons, gradually are
being transformed into drills using mock nuclear weapons.
Nuclear arms experts calculate
that during an initial massive nuclear attack, at least 34 million people will
immediately perish and 57 million people will receive multiple injuries and
wounds that will cause horrible pain, suffering, radiation sickness and death.
Additionally, various kinds of infrastructure, flora and fauna, nuclear power
plants, water resources – including potable water and hydropower dams –
will be heavily damaged or destroyed completely by huge firestorms, vast
nuclear contamination, powerful explosions, and earthquakes.
But that is just the immediate
impact. The nuclear winter that would be created by even a limited nuclear war
would threaten all of humanity with starvation and other mortal threats.
We who have voluntarily signed
this appeal urge you, as the leaders of all nine nuclear nations, to take the
following actions in 2020:
First, as an initial step leading to comprehensive and
irreversible nuclear disarmament on a global scale, you pledge not to
use and denounce any kind of nuclear weapon use in a first strike against any
nation at any time.
Second, sign and ratify the Treaty on the
Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons with the subsequent commitment specified in the
next item.
Third, commit to irreversibly dismantling all
nuclear weapons by August 6, 2045 or earlier that date – by all nine nuclear
weapon states, in carefully calibrated stages and through well-developed and
mutually acceptable mechanisms of inspections, provided that all nuclear weapon
states will follow this pattern simultaneously and honestly.
