Video – Total Nuclear Disarmament – call from Pope

Ruth Gledhill – Times Online – WBLG: Pope calls for total nuclear disarmament

VIDEO Pope calls for total nuclear disarmament, Ruth Gledhill – Times Online Pope Benedict XVI said: ‘The eighth Review Conference on the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty began work in New York on May 3rd. Progress towards combined and secure nuclear disarmament is closely connected to the full and rapid fulfilment of the relative international commitments. Peace, in fact, rests on trust and on respect for promises made, not only on the balance of power. In this spirit, I encourage the initiatives that seek progressive disarmament and areas free of nuclear weapons, with a view to their complete elimination from the planet.
