Closed petition Propose full world multilateral disarmament in five years at the United Nations

Closed on

Propose to the UN for all states:
1. Cut defence by 20% a year for five years.
2. Stop all arms production. Firms have falling subsidies while they convert.
3. Require world-wide open inspection, UN policing, punishment for infringement.
4. Exterminate terrorist weapons.
5. Move disputes to UN.

1. No arms, no war.
2. It could cut destruction, refugees, arms races, poverty, threats, internal repression.
3. Militarism has led to around 200 million deaths in a century.
4. Competitive arming is silly in a joined up world.
5. Full world disarmament could save huge sums of money.
6. It could cut world CO2 output.
7. Disarming is far easier than arming.
8. Peace works.
