Scope and ContentPoster with an image of man in a John Major mask being arrested by two police officers whilst a judge holds an arrest warrant and the text: Outlawed! In July 1996 the World Court ruled that the use or threat to use nuclear weapons is illegal, with the possible exception of "an extreme circumstance of self-defence in which the very survival of a state would be at stake". Britain's new Trident-based nuclear policies are quite clearly unlawful according to this judgement. Simply by stating that they are willing to press the nuclear button, our leaders are breaking international law. CND says: The United Nations Conference on Disarmament should get immediate negotiations underway for a global Nuclear Weapons Ban as called for by the World Court.
