Time to abolish nuclear weapons says Peace Action of Central New York

Writing in the Syracuse Post-Standard, two board members from Peace Action of Central New York - Diane Swords and Tom Bennett - make the urgent case for true nulcear weapons abolition as the Non-Proliferation Review Conference continues in New York. "The NPT must be supported and strengthened, yet it lacks a concrete process to assure disarmament by nuclear powers," they write. "It is also complicated by grave problems with Artice IV, which guarantees the right to “peaceful nuclear energy,” but overlooks the inextricable link between nuclear power and weapons and their health and environmental costs".
