Pax Christi USA is honored to join dozens of other non-governmental organizations in endorsing Common Security and Nuclear Deterrence, one of the civil society statements presented to the 2023 NPT Prep Com at the plenary session on August 2 devoted to statements from civil society. The statement is complementary to other civil society statements which will be presented.
The aim of the statement, organized by the World Federalist Movement, is not to condemn the nuclear armed and allied states (other statements are doing that) but to engage with them on a practical approach to phase out their reliance on nuclear deterrence in order to achieve the peace and security (for all) of a nuclear-weapon-free world. This could be done by replacing nuclear deterrence with common security.
What is the NPT PREP COM?
Sounds very military.
It’s the Preparatory Committee for the 2026 Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT)
Thank you
