On March 28, the United Nations will hold the preparatory meeting for the 2018 UN High-Level Conference on Nuclear Disarmament<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At the preparatory meeting, UN member states will appoint the President (Chair) and other officials, adopt the agenda and agree on the rules of procedure for the UN High-Level Conference, which will take place at the UN from May 14-16.<\/p>\n

This will include a decision on whether to restrict NGO participation in the High-Level Conference to only ECOSOC organisations, or open it up to the range of disarmament organisations that are permitted to participate in other UN disarmament forums (See UN High-Level Conference: Call for wider NGO participation<\/a>).<\/p>\n

In addition, a number of UN member states will likely use this occasion on March 28 to announce their participation (or non-participation) in the UN High-Level Conference,<\/p>\n

Can we abolish all nuclear weapons?<\/a> <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

(Continued from left column)<\/p>\n

What will be your government’s position?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Will your government announce its intention to attend the UN High-Level Conference at the highest level, in order to support and advance nuclear risk-reduction and disarmament measures?<\/p>\n

Will your government support a wide participation of disarmament NGOs in the UN High-Level Conference, or accept a restriction to only allow ECOSOC organisations the possibility to attend?<\/p>\n

If you have not already asked your government these questions, click here <\/a> for a sample letter to send to your prime minister, foreign minister and UN ambassador (plus contacts for many of them).<\/p>\n

The Abolition 2000 Youth Network <\/a> invites young and ‘young at heart’ to be a part of a global video action <\/a> to support the UN High-Level Conference. <\/p>\n

Send to marzhan@pnnd.org your video clip of ‘reaching high for a nuclear-weapon-free world.’ They will compile the videos and show to world leaders to encourage them to take action at the High-Level Conference. Click here <\/a> to view the promo video. <\/p>\n

Best wishes and we look forward to seeing many of you in New York for the UN High-Level Conference and civil society side-events in May, 2018.<\/p>\n

Yours sincerely<\/p>\n
