The Declaration

We have not chosen.
We have only delayed.

ARTICLE I
Nuclear weapons are an active existential threat
Thousands of warheads on high-alert. A single exchange produces nuclear winter. The risk of use by accident, miscalculation, or crisis is documented, recurring, and increasing.

ARTICLE II
Deterrence is not safety
Deterrence assumes rational actors under infinite stress with perfect information. This assumption has already been violated. We have survived on luck. Luck is not a strategy.
Read the Manifesto →
ARTICLE III
The arms control architecture is collapsing
Treaties are being dismantled. Arsenals are being modernised. The world is less constrained today than thirty years ago. This is a political choice, and it can be reversed.
Read the Manifesto →
ARTICLE IV
Disarmament is achievable
Chemical weapons were abolished. Biological weapons were prohibited. Nuclear-free zones exist and function. The claim that disarmament is impossible is contradicted by history.
Read the Manifesto →
ARTICLE V
Democracy and militarism are incompatible
The permanent war economy is structurally hostile to democratic accountability. Opaque procurement, revolving doors, classified decisions. You cannot have both.
Read the Manifesto →
ARTICLE VI
This is a survival question
We are not making a political argument. We are making a factual one. The current trajectory increases the probability of civilisational catastrophe. That probability is within human power to reduce.

Remember your humanity, and forget the rest. If you can do so, the way lies open to a new Paradise; if you cannot, there lies before you the risk of universal death.

— Bertrand Russell & Albert Einstein, Pugwash Manifesto, 1955
