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)
