VICE PRESIDENT AL GORE, +1-202-456-2461


Dear Presidents and Prime Ministers, Foreign Ministers and Defence Ministers,

The undersigned NGO groups and Parliamentarians, representing millions of people, are writing:

1) To urge the US not to proceed with proposals for a National Missile Defence System (NMD),

2) To urge US allies to make the strongest representations in appropriate forums or bilaterally, to press the US government not to proceed with the deployment of NMD, and to maintain the integrity of the ABM Treaty.

Proceeding with National Missile Defence threatens to undermine the basis of existing and future offensive nuclear arms reduction measures.

We note the strong statements made on NMD by the Governments of France, Germany and Sweden, and the expressions of concern by other US allies including the UK, Canada, and the European Union.

At the recent NPT Review Conference, the US together with 187 other countries, signed a final declaration that commits it to an unequivocal undertaking to accomplish the total elimination of its nuclear arsenal. Plans to deploy a missile defence system threaten that vital goal, to which the US is legally committed, together with all other NPT signatories. The final declaration of the NPT Review Conference expressly calls for:

"the early implementation and entry into force of START-II and conclusion of START-III as soon as possible while preserving and strengthening the Antiballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty as a cornerstone of strategic stability and as a basis for further reductions of strategic offensive weapons in accordance with its provisions."

We do not believe it is possible for this to be interpreted in a way that will allow the deployment of an NMD system, nor should it be so interpreted. We therefore urge the US and Russia instead to proceed to the negotiation of START-III at the lowest possible force levels and to the immediate implementation of START-II.

We note that the UN Secretary-General, and representatives of Russia, China, the UK, France, Sweden, the European Community, the New Agenda Coalition and the Non-Aligned movement have expressed the view that the ABM treaty is the cornerstone of global strategic stability.

The recent meeting of G8 foreign ministers has also expressed strong concern over the possibility that the ABM treaty may be abrogated to allow NMD to proceed, and has stated that they are ‘deeply concerned’ over missile proliferation as a result of NMD.

The Australian Senate on June 29th, passed a motion in which it called on the US not to proceed with the deployment of an NMD system and in which it called for the implementation of START-II as soon as possible, and the negotiation of START-III at the lowest possible force levels.

We note also recent expressions of concern within the US, by Congresspeople, Nobel laureates, and other distinguished and influential people and organizations.

America should not simply ignore the strongly repeated opinion of governments and NGOs of the whole world, that NMD should not proceed, and that the integrity of the ABM treaty should be maintained.

Missile defence schemes respond to an exaggerated perception of the missile threat from so-called ‘Rogue States’, (now termed ‘States of Concern’) are not the solution to missile proliferation, sabotage nuclear disarmament efforts to which the US is legally committed along with the rest of the world, and decrease overall US and international security.

There are serious doubts whether this system, or whether any missile defence system, can ever work. The problems posed even by relatively simple decoys are probably technically insoluble. The Welch Panel, an independent team of scientists, released a report outlining the probability of NMD systems failure due to time and schedule constraints.

Instead of pursuing missile defence, it is vital that the US focus on practical solutions to global strategic security. We therefore urge the US and Russia, as the highest priority, to proceed to the elimination of as many warheads as possible under any START-III agreement, the removal of obstacles to the implementation of START-II, and the removal of strategic missile forces from high alert status as advocated by the Canberra Commission, subsequent UN resolutions and the final NPT declaration.

Yours Sincerely,

(Signed)
