Signed by over 20 French political, military, and academic leadership figures, this appeal calls for the new French president to engage in genuine action towards a world without nuclear weapons.

Dr Cronberg, member of the Executive Board of the ELN, argues that instead of focusing on the 2017 ban treaty negotiations, efforts should be channelled towards agreeing on a treaty prohibiting the development, manufacture, possession and use of nuclear weapons as verifiable international convention.
Professor Francesco Calogero discusses the case for a treaty banning nuclear weapons and argues that the transition to a nuclear-weapon-free-world should be jointly pursued by the US and Russia.
Paul Quilès and Bernard Norlain argue that France and the United Kingdom must participate in negotiations to establish a treaty prohibiting nuclear weapons.
