TP Legal Wiki: Difference between revisions

[[Archive.org:20070220233527/http://AndrewGray.uklinux.net/tpwiki/wiki.pl?TridentPloughshares|Trident Ploughshares]] (TP) is a group of people who are aiming to rid the {{tag|United Kingdom}} of its Trident {{tag|nuclear}} missiles via {{tag|non-violent}}, open, and accountable direct disarmament.

As global citizens, we will endeavour to openly, accountably, safely, and peacefully disarm the British nuclear weapons system, which is deployed on Trident submarines.  Our acts of disarmament are intended to stop ongoing {{tag|criminal}} activity under well-recognized principles of international {{tag|law}}.  We will do this as our part of an international citizens' initiative to encourage a nuclear weapon free {{tag|Earth|world}}, and an international culture of {{tag|peace}} and {{tag|cooperation}}.

The campain was three (3) years old in May 2001. Before our disarmament action began, we tried to start a dialogue with the British government.  We do not take part in direct disarmament actions lightly, and will stop our ploughshares actions if the {{tag|government}} shows by practical measures that it is committed to actually fulfil its international and humanitarian obligations by disarming Trident itself.
