The Present Basic Philosophy Is Nuclear Deterrence.

We Are Told That The Possession Of Nuclear Weapons - In Some Cases Even The Testing Of These Weapons - Is Essential For National Security. But This Argument Can Be Made By Other Countries As Well.

Indeed, The Whole Human Species Is Endangered, By Nuclear Weapons Or By Other Means Of Wholesale Destruction Which Further Advances In Science Are Likely To Produce.

The Chief Task Was To Stop The Arms Race Before It Brought Utter Disaster. However, After The Collapse Of Communism And The Disintegration Of The Soviet Union, Any Rationale For Having Nuclear Weapons Disappeared.

If The Militarily Most Powerful And Least Threatened States Need Nuclear Weapons For Their Security, How Can One Deny Such Security To Countries That Are Truly Insecure? The Present Nuclear Policy Is A Recipe For Proliferation. It Is A Policy For Disaster.

Technology Is Driving Us Together. In Many Ways We Are Becoming Like One Family. With The Global Threats Resulting From Science And Technology, The Whole Of Humankind Now Needs Protection. We Have To Extend Our Loyalty To The Whole Of The Human Race.
