Nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation Informal working group on the 1988 Rajiv Gandhi Action Plan for a nuclear-weapon-free and non-violent world order The Prime Minister of India established an informal working group composed of Indian experts and academics aimed at rejuvenating the 1988 Rajiv Gandhi Action Plan for a nuclear-weapon-free and non-violent world order. The effort uses as its terms of reference the seven steps proposed by India in 2006 in a working paper to the Conference on Disarmament (CD/1816), which includes negotiation of a nuclear weapons convention as its final step. The working group issued a report that contains recommendations and a road map for implementing the goals of the Action Plan. Specific steps recommended in the report included reducing the salience of nuclear weapons in security doctrines, de-alerting, a global agreement on a no-first-use policy, a convention prohibiting the use of nuclear weapons and the negotiation of legally binding instruments on negative security assurances. Civil society and other international efforts The Asia Pacific Leadership Network for Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Disarmament (APLN) was launched on 18 May, comprising 30 former senior political, diplomatic and military leaders from 13 countries around the region. 97 Gareth Evans, former Foreign Minister of Australia, convened the first meeting. The objective of the network is to inform and energize public opinion, and especially high-level policymakers, to take seriously the real threats posed by nuclear weapons, and to do everything possible to achieve a world in which they are contained, diminished and ultimately eliminated. In its inaugural statement, 98 APLN announced that it would establish working groups to address, inter alia, specific issues such as nuclear deterrence, nuclear transparency and the potential for the multilateralization of “the most sensitive stages” of the nuclear fuel cycle. At its seventy-ninth annual meeting, held in June, the United States Conference of Mayors adopted a resolution99 that, inter alia, reaffirmed its call on President Obama to work with the leaders of the other nuclear-weapon States to implement the United Nations Secretary-General’s five-point proposal for nuclear disarmament forthwith, so that a nuclear weapons convention or a related framework of mutually reinforcing legal instruments could be agreed upon and implemented by the year 2020, as urged by the 97 Australia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Philippines, Republic of Korea, Singapore, Sri Lanka and Viet Nam. 98 Members of the APLN met for the first time in Tokyo from 10 to 12 November 2011, where those present agreed on the text of the inaugural statement released on 12 December 2011 in Seoul. 99 United States Conference of Mayors, “Adopted Resolutions: 79th Annual Conference of Mayors—Baltimore, MD June 17-21, 2011”, p. 112.

The Conference of Mayors, which sought the termination of funding for modernization of the nuclear weapons complex and nuclear weapons systems, also called upon the national associations of local authorities of the other nuclear-weapon States to press their Governments to enter into negotiations for the establishment of a nuclear-weapon-free world and to sharply curtail expenditures on nuclear arms.
