On July 15, a new and exciting initiative NoFirstUse Global was launched by organizations/networks from a mix of nuclear armed, allied and non-nuclear

countries.

NoFirstUse Global has the objective to achieve the adoption and implementation

of nuclear weapons no-first-use policies (NFU) as measures to prevent nuclear

war and help achieve a nuclear weapon free world.

NoFirstUse Global includes actions, events, blog articles, examples of legislative

action and other resources about no-first-use policies and campaigns/actions for

their achievement. One interesting section is Why No-First-Use which addresses

questions and mis-conceptions about NFU.

At the launch event NoFirstUse Global kicked off 'Don't even think about starting

a nuclear war', a social media action that can be taken around the world, and

especially in capital cities. 

Don't even THINK about starting a nuclear war!

Join the social media action:

Take a photo of yourself and/or a colleague holding a sign ?Don?t even think

about starting a nuclear war? outside the embassies or consulates of nuclear

armed states ? in particular China, France, Russia, the UK and the USA to share

on social media.

These countries have a special responsibility to prevent nuclear war as they are

the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and they are the five

nuclear-armed states that are parties to the Non-Proliferation Treaty.
