National Sections

PNND members are welcome to form country groups, in consultation with the PNND coordinators, consisting of members of their national assembly from different political parties.

PNND National Sections facilitate dialogue about, and engagement in, nuclear disarmament issues, and can decide to focus on certain areas relevant to their country.

PNND National Sections maintain a non-partisan approach and thus do not adopt policy either supporting or opposing specific nuclear practices, related legislation or disarmament initiatives. However, PNND National Sections provide a forum for sharing information and perspectives about nuclear weapons issues, practices, related legislation and disarmament initiatives, including initiatives arising from individual parliamentarians, parliamentary caucuses or other parliamentary groups.
