Join the Abolition 2000 Task Force
on the UN Opened Ended Working Group
Abolition 2000 invites you to engage in an exciting new process to achieve a nuclear-weapons-free world. After 17 years of inaction at the Conference on Disarmament in Geneva, the United Nations has established an Open Ended Working Group (OEWG) to develop proposals for multilateral negotiations.
To make it a real success, we need your help:
- Act now to elevate this new process in your capital! Encourage your country to participate fully in the OEWG and to actively promote a comprehensive approach to nuclear disarmament.
- Join Abolition 2000 Task Force on the OEWG that was established to facilitate engagement of Abolition 2000 members in the OEWG! Members of the Task Force communicate through a mailing list where they share news from the OEWG meetings, develop strategies, and produce materials and recommendations to be presented to the OEWG (see overview of Task Force activities). The Task Force is open to anyone - contact jana@pnnd.org to join.
- Organize a public event – real or virtual – that will demonstrate support of civil society for the Open Ended Working Group and a nuclear weapons free world. Use the motive of “opening the door to a nuclear weapons free world” to come up with creative ideas for happenings, flash-mobs and other kinds of public expressions.
