CND on the ground at the United Nations in New York

“The 2026 nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference comes at a moment of profound global danger and of real responsibility for those of us committed to peace.

 

Against this backdrop, CND’s delegation – Jeremy Corbyn MP, Parliamentary CND Chair and Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP, Parliamentary CND Vice-Chair – have been working intensively to ensure that the voice of the peace movement is not only present at the conference, but heard.”
