Nuclear Weapons

Are you ready to fight for it?

Stand for peace

Nuclear weapons kill indiscriminately. For those who survive a nuclear blast, the damage to health and to the environment endures for generations. The risks of nuclear war are too great.


There is no imaginable justification for any country to hold a nuclear arsenal. Join us to call for an immediate end to nuclear weapons in Scotland and around the world.


The UK’s 2025 Strategic Defence Review comes at a moment of intensifying global conflict, escalating climate crisis and soaring UK inequality. Yet, rather than rethinking the country’s militarised foreign policy in response to these pressures, the Government proposes to dramatically increase defence spending, a move that risks worsening each of these crises.

This Alternative Defence Review (click the image to download) challenges the dominant war narrative—cultivated by political elites, the military-industrial complex, and the mainstream media—and offers a new vision for peace, justice, and security.

It was proposed by CND in response to the RMT union’s decision to ‘… campaign with other trade unions and peace organisations to convene a labour and peace movement summit to work out the basis of a new foreign policy with the promotion of peace and social justice at its heart’. The Alternative Defence Review is intended to be a contribution towards this.
