The Petition

We, the undersigned, welcome the UK government\'s commitment to multilateral nuclear disarmament through good faith negotiations as required by the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

We call upon the government in recognition of this commitment to:

cancel its preparations to renew the Trident nuclear weapons system and start the process of dismantling the existing system;

and in the spirit of its support for existing treaties banning indiscriminate weapons such as landmines, chemical and biological weapons to:

pursue multilateral negotiations with a view to concluding a Nuclear Weapons Convention by the year 2020 to ensure the elimination of nuclear weapons world wide.
