COME CLEAN! - The WMD Awareness Programme is dedicated to providing trustworthy and up to date information on Weapons of Mass Destruction world wide.
We believe that to create real security in the 21st century we must eliminate all weapons of mass destruction.
We need to build security through international treaties and negotiation,not through military threats and confrontation.
We call on all states to comply with international treaties on WMD.
