Campaign against NMD - Fax Campaign Jan 200117/1/2001FRIENDS OF THE EARTH AUSTRALIA AUSTRALIAN PEACE COMMITTEE GLOBAL CAMPAIGN TARGETS BUSH OVER MISSILE DEFENCE Antinuclear groups worldwide have targeted President Bush over the National Missile Defence/Star Wars scheme, with a global fax campaign starting on Jan 20. According to campaign coordinator John Hallam of Friends of the Earth Sydney, "National Missile defence, otherwise known as 'Star Wars', will create a storm of opposition from the US's own allies, from the United Nations as a whole, and from citizens groups worldwide. Star Wars will cause irreparable damage to US relations with Russia and China. NMD/Star Wars will set back attempts to decrease the number and lower the alert status of the roughly 5-6,000 land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles on hair-trigger alert in the US and Russia, whose use can still end civilization, if not most life. It will replace hopeful possibilities of eliminating nuclear weapons with a new nuclear arms race, making the world much more dangerous. Accordingly, antinuclear groups around the planet have decided to mount a global fax campaign to ram home a simple message to president Bush as soon as he is inaugurated: The World Says
No To Missile Defence/Star Wars.
We urge the Australian government to reject NMD/Star Wars, and not to permit the use of Australian facilities for it. We urge US allies to tell the US not to proceed with NMD/Star Wars. We urge President Bush and Don Rumsfeld to drop their enthusiasm for this dangerous scheme, and instead to opt for deep cuts in warhead numbers and to take missiles off hair-trigger alert as pledged by Bush in his campaign."

Of course, the best decision, the one we need to keep going for, is to consign it and not the ABM treaty, finally to the dustbin of history. Otherwise we may be in exactly the same position in say, February, again looking at the possibility of a resumption of global nuclear arms racing. In the meantime what we have is a breathing space in which other steps toward nuclear disarmament may be taken, which will hopefully move us positively in the direction in which we should be going. This letter from 350 NGOs, Parliamentarians and church groups was faxed last weekend to Clinton and again on Wednesday. We hope it made a difference.

Index4) FULL TEXT AND SIGNATURES OF LETTER 1) Press Release 2/9/2000 ( back to index )WORLD SAYS NO TO STAR WARS - AND CLINTON BACKS OFFPresident Clintons announcement that he is deferring a decision on Star Wars comes a week after a letter from a coalition of 350 of the worlds largest peace and environment groups, parliamentarians and church groups calling for the abandonment of NMD/Star Wars was faxed. The letter was coordinated by Friends of the Earth Australia. The statement had been signed by 14 Australian parliamentarians, the Uniting Church, Friends of the Earth International, Greenpeace International, and a vast number of other groups and parliamentarians from all over the world. (details in 'The Word Says No' release following). The decision also comes after a similar letter was sent to Clinton by 50 US Nobel prizewinners, after massive congressional lobbying, and after a global fax campaign to both the US government and the US's allies. According to the letters coordinator John Hallam, "President Clinton has thankfully made a realistic decision not to deploy NMD/Star Wars at present, though it is most unfortunate that he still wishes to keep development work on it going." "What is particularly hopeful is the fact that Clintons reasons for not deploying echo many of the arguments that every anti- weapons group in the word has been using - namely that deployment would have been an absolute diplomatic disaster, that would in all probability have ruined the hard- fought and fragile movement toward the elimination of nuclear weapons, to which the nations of the World re-committed themselves at the recent NPT Review Conference." "We call on the next president of the US to take the next step and put the NMD/Star Wars program where it belongs; in the dustbin of history, and to put a real effort into negotiating the lowest possible START-III warhead levels, implementing START-II, taking nuclear weapons off hairtrigger alert, and discharging their legal obligations to eliminate nuclear weapons."

A decision on NMD/'Star Wars' by Clinton could happen any time. The 336 groups include the worlds largest environment groups, Friends of the Earth International (groups in 60 countries) Greenpeace International, the largest anti nuclear weapons groups in the world, Abolition 2000 with 2000 member groups worldwide and IPPNW (International physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War), Womens International League for Peace and Freedom, the International Peace Bureau, and the British-American Security Council (BASIC). The total membership of all the groups who have signed is in the millions. The letter has been signed by some 33 Parliamentarians including 14 federal Australian MPs, 6 Canadian MPs, and 4 members of the European Parliament. Opposition to NMD/Star Wars is high in the US, and in Europe, most of whose governments have expressed opposition or grave reservations about the scheme which threatens to re-ignite the cold war arms-race. Russia, and China have stated that if NMD/Star Wars proceeds they will ditch all arms-control agreements to date. The governments of France, Germany, Sweden, Canada, as` well as the EU, the Non-Aligned Movement, and the New Agenda Coalition, representing the overwhelming majority of the words governments, have stated opposition to NMD/Star Wars. The government of Denmark, whose consent to the use of the radar station at Thule is crucial for NMD, has recently been deluged with emails and faxes asking it to deny that consent. Only Australia and Japan have failed to take a position opposing NMD/Star Wars, with Australian foreign minister Downer expressing 'understanding' of the US desire to deploy NMD in spite of a 29 June Senate resolution opposing NMD.

JOHN MOORE, MINISTER FOR DEFENCE OF AUSTRALIA 61-2-6273-4118, 07-3878-1671 George Bush Presidential Candidate, +1-512-637-8800. Al Gore, Presidential Candidate, +1-202-456-2461 Dear Presidents and Prime Ministers, Foreign Ministers and Defence Ministers, The undersigned NGO groups and Parliamentarians, representing millions of people, are writing: 1) To urge the US not to proceed with proposals for a National Missile Defence System (NMD), 2) To urge US allies to make the strongest representations in appropriate forums or bilaterally, to press the US government not to proceed with the deployment of NMD, and to maintain the integrity of the ABM Treaty. Proceeding with National Missile Defence threatens to undermine the basis of existing and future offensive nuclear arms reduction measures. We note the strong statements made on NMD by the Governments of France, Germany and Sweden, and the expressions of concern by other US allies including the UK, Canada, and the European Union. At the recent NPT Review Conference, the US together with 187 other countries, signed a final declaration that commits it to an unequivocal undertaking to accomplish the total elimination of its nuclear arsenal. Plans to deploy a missile defence system threaten that vital goal, to which the US is legally committed, together with all other NPT signatories. The final declaration of the NPT Review Conference expressly calls for: "the early implementation and entry into force of START-II and conclusion of START-III as soon as possible while preserving and strengthening the Antiballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty as a cornerstone of strategic stability and as a basis for further reductions of strategic offensive weapons in accordance with its provisions." We do not believe it is possible for this to be interpreted in a way that will allow the deployment of an NMD system, nor should it be so interpreted. We therefore urge the US and Russia instead to proceed to the negotiation of START-III at the lowest possible force levels and to the immediate implementation of START-II. We note that the UN Secretary-General, and representatives of Russia, China, the UK, France, Sweden, the European Community, the New Agenda Coalition and the Non-Aligned movement have expressed the view that the ABM treaty is the cornerstone of global strategic stability. The recent meeting of G8 foreign ministers has also expressed strong concern over the possibility that the ABM treaty may be abrogated to allow NMD to proceed, and has stated that they are 'deeply concerned' over missile proliferation as a result of NMD. The Australian Senate on June 29th, passed a motion in which it called on the US not to proceed with the deployment of an NMD system and in which it called for the implementation of START-II as soon as possible, and the negotiation of START-III at the lowest possible force levels. We note also recent expressions of concern within the US, by Congresspeople, Nobel laureates, and other distinguished and influential people and organizations. America should not simply ignore the strongly repeated opinion of governments and NGOs of the whole world, that NMD should not proceed, and that the integrity of the ABM treaty should be maintained. Missile defence schemes respond to an exaggerated perception of the missile threat from so-called 'Rogue States', (now termed 'States of Concern') are not the solution to missile proliferation, sabotage nuclear disarmament efforts to which the US is legally committed along with the rest of the world, and decrease overall US and international security. There are serious doubts whether this system, or whether any missile defence system, can ever work. The problems posed even by relatively simple decoys are probably technically insoluble. The Welch Panel, an independent team of scientists, released a report outlining the probability of NMD systems failure due to time and schedule constraints. Instead of pursuing missile defence, it is vital that the US focus on practical solutions to global strategic security. We therefore urge the US and Russia, as the highest priority, to proceed to the elimination of as many warheads as possible under any START-III agreement, the removal of obstacles to the implementation of START-II, and the removal of strategic missile forces from high alert status as advocated by the Canberra Commission, subsequent UN resolutions and the final NPT declaration.
