The UN is asking for total disarmament of all nuclear weapons around the world, beginning with the Western powers and not confronting Iran or North Korea.
I am all for this program, however, IF the UN really means it. The UN is big on expensive programs that provide millions of dollars for the managers of those programs. They are not big on actually doing anything that does not enrich themselves.
Urging world to disarm, Ban kicks off countdown to UN Day
13 June 2009 - Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon today launched the "WMD-WeMustDisarm" campaign, beginning the 100-day countdown to the 2009 United Nations International Day of Peace, which this year focuses on nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation.
Over the next 100 days leading up to the International Day, observed annually on 21 September, Mr. Ban and others will raise awareness of the need to eliminate nuclear weapons by issuing a daily message, via Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, email and radio, urging the world to disarm.
The Secretary-General is taking the lead by issuing the first 10 'tweets' of the campaign.
"Over the next 100 days, the United Nations and our partners around the world will work to raise awareness of the true costs and dangers of nuclear weapons," Mr. Ban said in a message to mark the start of the countdown.
"Unless we vigorously work for nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation, we will continue to face threats from existing nuclear weapons, as well as additional risks that more States, even terrorists, might acquire and deploy such weapons, potentially annihilating millions of people," he stated.
