NATO AND NUCLEAR WEAPONS

Summary

That this House believes that the principle of allied strategy (paragraph 46 of the 1999 Strategic Concept) which asserts that nuclear weapons make a unique contribution to deterrence and 'remain essential to preserve peace', is incompatible with the decision by NATO member states at the May 2000 Review Conference of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty to support an 'unequivocal' commitment to nuclear disarmament; and that therefore NATO strategy should be changed to remove any equivocation.
