Foreword

Since the first nuclear weapon test in New Mexico, USA in 1945, the vast majority of citizens around the world have called for the elimination of these weapons. Non-governmental and civil society organizations have organized rallies, demonstrations, teach-ins, and protests and have published bulletins, newsletters, books, and journals to provide information and analysis on nuclear weapon programmes and policies. Every year, many of these advocates for nuclear disarmament come to the preparatory meetings and review conferences of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) to lobby their governments for commitments to fulfill article VI of the Treaty: negotiations in good faith on nuclear disarmament and cessation of the arms race.
