Letter for nuclear non-proliferation in Germany
Posted: 9th April 2026
Mr. António Guterres
Secretary-General of the United Nations
We, the undersigned individuals and organizations, wish to express the following:
1. We have learned that the Director of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, stated that the number of countries possessing nuclear weapons could increase from 9 to 25 or 30, without specifying which countries. However, according to an IAEA report from March 2025, Germany has achieved the scientific, technical, and manufacturing capabilities to produce its own nuclear weapons. The proliferation of new nuclear weapons is a very serious matter and violates the efforts of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. We cannot forget that Germany spearheaded two world wars that humanity remembers.
2 – We express our deep concern regarding this IAEA report, which states that Germany has the capacity to manufacture nuclear weapons in the short term if it so chooses. Adding to this are statements by German politicians expressing the need for Germany to create the strongest army in Europe, which is impossible without nuclear weapons. Several European governments, including Germany, are increasingly speaking of the need to prepare their populations for a possible nuclear war. We consider these statements irresponsible, provocative, and tantamount to calling for preparations for nuclear war.
3 – For these reasons, we call upon the UN, the IAEA, the international community, and international organizations to demand the end and dismantling of Germany’s capabilities to build its own nuclear weapons. Germany must respect the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. At the same time, it must demand the withdrawal of the nuclear weapons stationed at Büchel by the United States.
