Scottish
CND unequivocally condemns Russia's military actions in Ukraine and the
threat to use nuclear weapons.
The international community must stand
united in ensuring that we protect and support civilians, and Scotland
must strongly reject the violations of international law by Russia and
the disregard for Ukraine's sovereignty as an independent state.
For
the UK to apply the use of force, individually or through NATO, would
escalate conflict and increase the likelihood of nuclear misadventure
through weapons use or involving the 15 nuclear power stations in
Ukraine. We urge respect for international humanitarian and human rights
law and accession, and compliance with international treaties to reduce
nuclear weapons risks, including the Treaty on the Prohibition of
Nuclear Weapons.
Nuclear
weapons do not deter conflict but make the world more dangerous,
elevating the risk of a massive humanitarian catastrophe. We ask people
in Scotland to help find ways of providing humanitarian support to the
people of Ukraine and of enhancing dialogue with people in the Ukraine
and Russia.
