TIME FOR A BAN ON NUCLEAR WEAPONS?
[ http://goodbyenuk.es/#write-to-your-fm ]
There are 16,000 nuclear weapons in the world. A single one could create a humanitarian catastrophe. For the first time in history we can do something about it!
Why nuclear weapons? Who has nuclear weapons? Could they ever be used? How would a ban work?
Nuclear weapons are the only weapon of mass destruction not illegal. It’s time to make things right and ban nuclear weapons for good.
Write to your U.N. Ambassador today! (See Info on M. Blanchard below . . . .)
Letter: Ask that Canada work towards the prohibition and elimination of nuclear weapons. (See sample below . . . )

Letter as follows:
Dear Ambassador Blanchard,
I write to you because I am deeply concerned about the catastrophic humanitarian consequences that nuclear weapons pose.
Nuclear weapons are indiscriminate, inhumane and unacceptable weapons. They need to be prohibited by an international treaty.
On Monday 22 February, all governments have the possibility to participate in the Open-Ended Working Group on “taking forward multilateral nuclear disarmament negotiations” in Geneva, Switzerland.
This working group is an excellent place for all governments to start discussing the legal measures needed to fill the legal gap for the prohibition and elimination of nuclear weapons.
I urge you to participate fully in the working group and engage in discussions to negotiate a new treaty prohibiting nuclear weapons.
Yours sincerely,
(Your name)
