We reaffirm the APJN 96 statement on Landmines, Transfers of Weapons, and Violence and raise up Lambeth Resolution 1.11 on Nuclear Weapons.

As we have reflected on these matters in the current context, we wish to add our voice to the demands for the total abolition of nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction. We urge all Provinces and the ACC to demonstrate their commitment to this by joining with other civil society campaigns, such as Abolition 2000, and to actively oppose NATOÕs first strike policy.

We further urge that these issues be examined for their impact on the sustainability of the planet and all species and peoples.
