UN Security Council: Eliminate WMDs!
Weapons of mass destruction anywhere are a threat to people everywhere. Now is the time to act, before another of these weapons is unleashed upon the world—not after. We, the undersigned, urge you to commit to bring world leaders to the table to develop time-bound, actionable and verifiable plans to eliminate weapons of mass destruction. All of them. Everywhere.
Why is this important?
Syria's chemical weapons are being dismantled because 1,400 civilians were poisoned and the world was rightly outraged. We must not wait for another weapon of mass destruction to be unleashed upon the world -- where deaths could number not in hundreds but in hundreds of thousands -- before we act with the same urgency. What was accomplished in Syria can and must be repeated, not just with chemical weapons, but with all WMDs: chemical, biological and nuclear.
Because that is the world we want, and we know it can be done.
