Mayor Luc Dehaene, chair of the Mayors for Peace 2020 Vision Campaign, welcomes today's statement by Kissinger et al in today's Wall Street Journal (1). However he urges nuclear weapons states not to hesitate any longer and keep the focus on the final goal. “We see these proposals as part of global preparations for a decisive decade for nuclear disarmament starting in 2010. The mountain this new commentary describes is not obscured in clouds. We can see it clearly,” said Mayor Dehaene, “It is not high at all compared to the many other challenges humanity faces such as climate change. We need to engage on the path towards complete nuclear disarmament immediately.”
