Bulletin 19 - MBMD Petition

Petition for a Missile Freeze

Weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery pose an intolerable threat to peace and security. An arms race between ballistic missiles, anti-missile systems and space weapons would move the world closer towards annihilation. The best response to these threats is the establishment of a comprehensive security framework that prohibits weapons of mass destruction, missile and anti-missile systems and the weaponization of space.

To reduce the danger, we call for the following immediate steps:
Stop missile and anti-missile testing and deployment.
Initiate negotiations for an international treaty banning missiles and space weapons.

Sign the Internet Petition

In February, Moving Beyond Missile Defense joined with an international network of peace groups to initiate and circulate an international petition calling for a missile freeze and a missile and space weapons ban to keep missile issues on the international agenda and publicly visible. Signatures to the petition will be collected around the world and submitted to the United Nations Secretary-General, Secretary General of the Non-Proliferation Treaty, Heads of governments, Ministers of Defense and key decision makers and molders. The petition can be downloaded to print and circulate at the Moving Beyond Missile Defense website or signed electronically at
