This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition Banning of the use of nuclear weaponry within wars.
The use of nuclear weaponry within wars, or any use of nuclear weapon, have caused trauma and devastation to people and their home.
More details
For example, at the end of WW2, the Americans dropped two nuclear bombs on Japan (Hiroshima and Nagasaki). The devastation cause on Japan has been outrageous and I believe that our use of nuclear weapons could cause devastation on ourselves if used incorrectly. Therefore, we should not use nuclear weapons as, not only will innocent civilians of other countries be devastated, but that could have backlash on our own country as the allies of whom we bombed could turn on us.
