The Nuclear Zero Lawsuits

Big news today out of The Hague and San Francisco. The Republic of the 
Marshall Islands (RMI) has filed unprecedented lawsuits against all 
nine nuclear-armed nations for their failure to negotiate in good 
faith for nuclear disarmament, as required under the Non-Proliferation 
Treaty. The suits were filed against all nine nations at the 
International Court of Justice, with an additional complaint against 
the United States filed in U.S. Federal District Court.

The Nuclear Age Peace Foundation applauds the courage of the RMI’s 
leaders in bringing lawsuits against the nuclear-armed nations. The 
people of the RMI continue to suffer today from U.S. nuclear weapon 
tests that took place on their territory in the 1940s and 1950s, and 
they want to ensure that such devastation – or worse – is never 
brought on anyone ever again.

NAPF is playing a key role in the Nuclear Zero Lawsuits campaign, 
which just launched this morning. Please go to www.nuclearzero.org, 
where you can learn more about the specifics of the lawsuits and show 
your support by signing a petition supporting the RMI’s bold, 
non-violent action.

We’ll be bringing you much more news about these lawsuits in the 
coming days and weeks. But right now, there are two things I’d like 
for you to do:

1. Go to nuclearzero.org and sign the petition, and then share it with 
your friends.

2. Share / re-tweet announcements about the lawsuits from our Facebook 
and Twitter pages.

These lawsuits could be the thing that finally breaks the nuclear 
weapon states’ shameful decades of inaction on nuclear disarmament. 
Please take a moment to add your voice to the campaign today.

Sincerely,

Rick Wayman
NAPF Peace Ops Director
