Make a submission to the Inquiry into Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Disarmament!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
In October 2008, the Prime Minister requested the Joint Standing Committee on Treaties to conduct an Inquiry into Nuclear Non-proliferation and Disarmament – see: http://www.aph.gov.au/house/committee/jsct/nuclearnon_proliferation/index.htm
The Committee is to inquire into and report on:
The international treaties involving Australia which relate to nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament.
How these treaties advance Australia's objectives in this field.
How the treaties might be made more comprehensive or effective.
How inter-parliamentary action can assist in strengthening treaty-based aspects of the nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament regime.
How the Committee and the Parliament can contribute to the work of the International Commission on Nuclear Non-proliferation and Disarmament.
This is a key opportunity for civil society to comment on Australia's performance, positions and potential future role in international disarmament and nuclear diplomacy, and in Australia’s uranium exports bi-lateral agreements and the need for strengthened nuclear safeguards in Australia being the world’s second largest uranium exporter and the present system being at best seriously inadequate.
Submissions are due by 30 January (extensions are being granted until 15 February by calling 026277 4642 or e-mailing: jsct@aph.gov.au). The Committee will report on 18 June 2009.
