Global Zero Action Plan Released
28 February 2010
The international Global Zero Commission of 23 political and military leaders has developed a practical step-by-step plan - backed by hundreds of former heads-of-state, foreign ministers, national security advisers and military commanders - to achieve the goal of a nuclear weapons free world over the next two decades.
The Global Zero Action Plan calls in its first phase for the U.S. and Russia to cut their arsenals to 1,000 total warheads each, all other countries with nuclear weapons to freeze their arsenals, and the international community to conduct an all-out global effort to block the spread of nuclear weapons. These steps would be followed by the first multilateral negotiations in history for stockpile reductions by all nuclear weapons countries.
