John Ainslie, Scottish CND coordinator, gave a presentation on the modernisation of British nuclear weapons at UN City in Vienna. This was one of a series of NGO meetings taking place during the 2012 Preparatory Committee of the nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty Review Conference.  (Presentation, notes)  The meeting was to launch a new book: "Assured Destruction Forever: nuclear weapon modernization around the world". This has chapters on China, France, India, Israel, Pakistan, Russia, UK and US, as well as sections on international law, divestment and political will.  It was published by Reaching Critical Will.  There are detailed reports and official papers from the NPT PrepCom on reachingcriticalwill.org

There has been considerable speculation in the press over the last few weeks that the SNP might change its policy on NATO. Currently the party would support an independent Scotland being a member of Partnership for Peace, but not a full member of NATO. There is a good article by Pat Kane in the Scotsman which responds to this. Please contact any MSPs or MPs in the SNP who represent you and encourage the SNP to to maintain their opposition to full NATO membership. You can find the details of your MP and all your MSPs by typing your postcode into theyworkforyou.com
