Are we prepared to tolerate a world in which countries which care about morality lay down their nuclear weapons, leaving others to threaten the rest of the world or hold it to ransom?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We have a legal and moral obligation to rid our world of nuclear tests and nuclear weapons.
The crucial thing is to arouse the awareness that as a matter of human conscience we can never permit the people of any country to fall victim to nuclear weapons, and for each individual to express their refusal to continue living in the shadow of the threat they pose.
We have a legal and moral obligation to rid our world of nuclear tests and nuclear weapons. When we put an end to nuclear tests, we get closer to eliminating all nuclear weapons. A world free of nuclear weapons will be safer and more prosperous.
A world without nuclear weapons would be less stable and more dangerous for all of us.
So long as nuclear weapons continue to exist, so will the temptation to threaten others with overwhelming military force.
We must abandon the unworkable notion that it is morally reprehensible for some countries to pursue weapons of mass destruction, yet morally acceptable for others to rely on them for security - and indeed to continue to refine their capacities and postulate plans for their use.
There are some people that will be deterred by the fact that we have nuclear weapons... But those people are the folks we can deal with anyway.
I worry about a democracy having nuclear weapons as much as a dictatorship having nuclear weapons.
As long as some of us choose to rely on nuclear weapons, we continue to risk that these same weapons will become increasingly attractive to others.
We are categorically against proliferation of nuclear weapons.
