UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon [2] has launched a new campaign to champion the cause of nuclear disarmament and nonproliferation, joined by Ploughshares Fund board member and United Nations Messenger of Peace Michael Douglas [3], and American actor Rainn Wilson [4]. The campaign highlights the Secretary-General's five-point proposal [5] for disarmament.
During the 100 days leading up to the International Day of Peace [6] on September 21st, the UN will issue a reason a day on why nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation are so crucial, via Twitter [7], Facebook [8] and MySpace [9].
What is your reason for ridding the world of nuclear weapons? Add yours to the Secretary-General's reasons here [6].
