ANTI-NUCLEAR campaigners launched a “talks not bombs” campaign today to urge the government to attend a crucial nuclear disarmament conference.
The first meeting of states who are parties to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) is taking place in Vienna in March 2022.
The treaty provides the first legally binding framework to ban nuclear weapons and is receiving increasing support internationally.
The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament will be urging the government over the next few weeks to attend the conference as observers and join the “crucial global dialogue.”
CND general secretary Kate Hudson said: “In these turbulent times it is crucial that Britain does everything it can to de-escalate global tension and back talks not bombs.
“The British government cannot continue to ignore the global majority’s call to abolish these weapons, not least because a majority of the British population also supports that goal.
“Polling shows that 59 per cent of the UK public want the UK government to sign the TPNW.
“It is time for the government to take concrete steps towards a nuclear-weapons-free world.”
