Summary

Controlling who has access to nuclear materials, technology and information has a clear role to play in controlling nuclear weapons proliferation, but should not be seen as a replacement for solid steps towards elimination of nuclear weapons. This briefing provides a critique of President Bush's February 2004 non-proliferation policy announcement which does not support this view.

Greenpeace has issued a deck of cards to delegates at the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) meeting in Geneva to help them recognise the states that should be elimintating their nuclear arsenals.

The cards are very similar in design and layout to those the US issued to troops in Iraq.

Our cards feature photos of the eight major nuclear proliferators - Presidents Bush (US), Putin (Russia), Hu Jintao (China), Chirac (France), Musharraf (Pakistan) and Prime Ministers Blair (UK), Vajpayee (India) and Sharon (Israel) - and the number of weapons they possess.
