MAPW has congratulated Prime Minister Kevin Rudd for his announcement that Australia will set up a new international body to push for nuclear disarmament. President Dr Sue Wareham OAM, also an Australian Board Member of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, said that Mr Rudd should also be applauded for visiting Hiroshima – the first Australian Prime Minister to do so. Dr Wareham and others are available for comment.
 

Tim Wright attended the nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty Preparatory Committee Meeting in Geneva in May 2008 on behalf of ICANi. MAPW Immediate Past President Tilman Ruff, with Yarra Councillor Jenny Farrar, were NGOi representatives on the official Australian delegation. This ICAN report describes both the official meeting, including Australia's role; and the unofficial campaign meetings and workshops of anti-nuclear NGOs which accompanied it. 

At the IPPNWi XIIIth World Congress, 1998, Dr Frank Barnaby outlined global nuclear arsenals - that the only way to remove the risk of nuclear war is to abolish nuclear weapons. The paper is titled "The grim reality: the current nuclear situation."

Jean McSorley, independent anti-nuclear campaigner since 1980, discusses the 2000 NPTi Review Conference and “peaceful uses of nuclear technology”. Paper from MAPW Conference 2000.

The 2000 MAPW National Conference address by Laurie Brereton, Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs and Federal Member for Kingsford-Smith, Australian Labor Party, New South Wales. This paper reflects the then policy of the Federal ALP on issues of nuclear disarmament.

The USA officially withdrew from the Anti Ballistic Missile (ABMi) Treaty on 13 June 2002.

This talking paper from IPPNWi states that this simply creates an unnecessary risk and won't get the US any closer to a working National Missile Defence System.

The ABM Treaty does not keep the United States from continuing to research and test a missile defence system. In fact, the biggest impediments to a national missile defence system are unproven technologies and cost, not the ABM Treaty.
