Dear Non-Governmental Organisation,

I urge you to sign on to this letter, which is to all governments involved
in the nuclear nonproliferation treaty review conference in the UN April
24-May 19th.

Under Article VI of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty, in force since
1970, the nuclear weapons states are legally bound to negotiate away their
nuclear weapons.

The letter urges them to fulfil this legal obligation, unanimously
reaffirmed by the international Court of Justice in its 1996 advisory
opinion.

So far there are 209 signatures total, including Friends of the Earth
International and 13 national FOE groups, the Anglican church of Canada, 6
members of the European Parliament, 1 Canadian MP and 3 Australian MPs.

You are strongly urged to add your voice to those who want a safer, saner,
world by eliminating nuclear weapons as the NPT legally obliges the nuclear
powers to do.

PRESIDENT  BILL CLINTON, (US)

ALL HEADS OF STATE AND FOREIGN MINISTERS OF STATES PARTY TO THE NUCLEAR
NON-PROLIFERATION TREATY (NPT)

UNITED NATIONS AMBASSADORS OF STATES PARTY TO THE NPT

RE: ENSURING A SUCCESSFUL NUCLEAR NON-PROLIFERATION TREATY REVIEW CONFERENCE.

Dear Heads of State, Foreign Ministers, and Ambassadors,

The undersigned organizations, representing many millions of deeply
concerned people worldwide, are writing to you regarding the  Review
Conference of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) at the United
Nations in New York,  April 24-May 19, 2000. This meeting has crucial
implications not only for NPT member states, but also for non-member
states, especially India,  Pakistan and Israel.

We believe the 2000 Review Conference could and should be a catalyst in
breaking the deadlock in the nuclear disarmament arena. It represents an
opportunity to make real progress toward nuclear disarmament, and nuclear
weapons abolition, which is essential to the achievement of common security
based on human and ecological values and respect for international
institutions and law. Failure in this regard could lead to the unraveling
of the NPT regime.

This is exactly opposite to the wishes and expectations of the majority of
the people of the world. It is clear from recent polls, that the
overwhelming majority of the world's people expect no less than immediate
commencement of multilateral negotiations leading to the elimination of
nuclear weapons through a global treaty in fulfillment of Article VI.

Crucial to the outcome of this Review Conference will be the extent to
which the nuclear weapon states are willing to act on their unambiguous
legal obligation and commitment to the elimination of their nuclear weapons
as called for by Article VI, which states:
"Each of the parties to the treaty undertakes to pursue negotiations in
good faith on effective measures relating to cessation of the nuclear arms
race at an early date and to nuclear disarmament, and on a treaty on
general and complete disarmament under strict and effective international
control."

Since the 1995 Review and Extension Conference, the importance of Article
VI and the NPT itself has been reinforced by the International Court of
Justice (ICJ),   which concluded unanimously in its 1996 Advisory Opinion
that:
"there exists an obligation to pursue in good faith and bring to a
conclusion negotiations leading to nuclear disarmament in all its aspects
under strict and effective international control"

While some progress has been achieved over the last decade in the reduction
of the total number of nuclear weapons deployed by the nuclear weapon
states, these states maintain their commitment to highly dangerous nuclear
military doctrines as a cornerstone of their defence and security policy,
some for the indefinite future. Progress on fulfilling Article VI
obligations is thus stalled, and the development of new nuclear dangers is
encouraged.

The following developments represent a growing peril that challenges
international and human security, and to which NPT states parties and
especially nuclear states must respond creatively:

--Ten years after the end of the Cold War, over 30,000 nuclear weapons
remain worldwide, and India and Pakistan have both tested nuclear weapons.

--Though UN and European Parliament  resolutions have drawn attention to
the Article VI obligations and to the ICJ Advisory Opinion, NATO has
jeopardized the NPT by its re-affirmation in April 1999 that nuclear
weapons are 'essential' to its security. While the NATO nuclear policy
review is welcome, it is preempted and undercut by this reaffirmation.

-- The US and Russia failed to respond to worldwide pressure to de- alert
by December 1999, and each maintain over 2000 nuclear warheads on permanent
'launch on warning' status. This continues in spite of the incorporation of
de-alerting into the 1996 recommendations of the Canberra Commission, into
two resolutions  passed by massive majorities in the UN General Assembly in
1998, and again in 1999, and a unanimous resolution of the European
Parliament of November 18,  1999.

--Key states have failed to ratify the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty
(CTBT), opened for signature in 1996.  The US Senate in October 1999  voted
down ratification, in spite of the nearly unanimous endorsement of that
treaty by the international community and overwhelming US public support
for nuclear disarmament and the CTBT.

--The clear aim of the CTBT is to constrain weapons development:  yet the
US, Russia, and other nuclear states still proceed with the development of
new nuclear weapon types and modifications in computer-simulated 'virtual
reality', with the aid of sub-critical underground nuclear testing, which
undermines both the spirit and purpose of the treaty. In particular, US
activities at the National Ignition Facility and the French Megajoule laser
project enable further weapons development.

--In 2000, the US may decide to deploy a National Ballistic Missile Defence
(NMD) system which would violate the existing Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty
of 1972, which is fundamental to the existing strategic arms restraints
between the United States and Russia. NMD deployment could set back
progress on Article VI objectives for years to come.

--Presidential Decision Directive 60 has reaffirmed US use of nuclear
weapons as a 'cornerstone' of its security policy. Meanwhile, Russia has
steadily moved toward a more ready use of nuclear weapons in recent years.
The potential dangers in this are extreme.

In light of the above developments, lack of progress on Article VI
obligations poses the increasing danger that some non-nuclear states will
conclude that it is in their interests to acquire nuclear weapons, while
those that have already tested them will proceed to further weaponisation
and expansion of their arsenals.

A positive and creative response to the above, and commitment and
leadership on behalf of both human life and all other life is urgently
demanded.

Of critical importance in addressing the currently unacceptable situation
are interim measures such as de-alerting,  and the removal of weapons from
delivery systems, aimed at decreasing the possibility of accidental nuclear
war and at increasing mutual trust and establishing a momentum toward
nuclear weapons elimination.

NPT states parties should resolve,  as a first step,  that all nuclear
forces be immediately stood down from high alert status.

We urge all  nuclear weapons states leaders, and all NPT Review
participants, as a matter of the highest priority and urgency, as well as a
clear legal obligation, to take action to complete unfinished disarmament
objectives and to begin urgent negotiations toward a treaty to eliminate
nuclear weapons.

Immediate steps (both in the CD and other fora)  must be taken by the
nuclear states that will lead clearly and swiftly toward negotiations in
fulfillment of Article VI.

You, as a world leader,  have the fate of the world  in your hands during
these discussions.  We therefore  strongly urge you to attend this review
conference, as you have the authority to commence negotiations to eliminate
nuclear weapons.  By doing so, you can to alter the course of history and
leave a legacy of a more secure future for this generation and for those to
come. Failure to do so risks a revived nuclear arms race that ultimately
could destroy civilization.
