That this chamber (Senate/House/Euro-parliament/etc)
1) Notes UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan's November 28 urgent call for action on nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament to address the world's 'greatest danger'
2) Joins Kofi Annan's call for “all the States with nuclear weapons to develop concrete plans -– with specific timetables -– for implementing their disarmament commitments, and to make a joint declaration of intent to achieve the progressive elimination of all nuclear weapons, under strict and effective international control.”
3) Welcomes the Call for Nuclear Abolition released by Nobel Peace Laureates at their Summit in Rome on November 19, and concurs with its conclusions that ‘Nuclear weapons are more of a problem than any problem they seek to solve. In the hands of anyone, the weapons themselves remain an unacceptable, morally reprehensible, impractical and dangerous risk. The use of a nuclear weapon against a state without nuclear weapons is patently immoral. Use against a state with nuclear weapons is suicidal.”
4) Decides to consider further steps to criminalize and abolish nuclear weapons, as steps towards a nuclear-weapons-free world
