Motion in the name of Councillor Nayab Patel (1) Nottingham City Council recognises the necessity of achieving multi-lateral nuclear disarmament and creating a nuclear weapons-free world, and resolves to engage with the government on:
· Continuing to adhere to the Non-Proliferation Treaty terms under Article VI to ‘pursue negotiations in good faith on effective measures relating to cessation of the nuclear arms race at an early date and to nuclear disarmament, and on a treaty on general and complete disarmament under strict and effective international control’ · Utilising all diplomatic avenues available to it to achieve this. Considering other international treaties that currently exist through the United Nations and whether the government would benefit from supporting them.
(2) In furtherance of its desire to create a peaceful city, Nottingham City Council also resolves to consider carrying out certain practical actions subject to them being cost neutral, by:
· Appointing an elected member as a Peace Champion to promote peace. · Signing up as a member authority of Mayors for Peace. · Encouraging local schools to deliver peace education to students. · Marking the anniversary of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombings. · Requesting seeds sourced from Hibaku trees which survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima to raise as saplings. These can be planted in public parks and places as focal points for reflection and remembrance.
