              JOINT DECLARATION OF THE EUROPEAN PEACE MOVEMENTS
        
           Launched at a 250,000 CND rally, London, June 6th 1982
         
        
             Considering  that  we, of this present generation, hold
        in trust the survival  of  civilisation,  the  prospects  of
        future generations, and the fate of the earth itself.
        
             We accept our trusteeship. We dedicate our lives to the
        cause of peace.
        
             We  reject altogether the use or preparation of nuclear
        weapons or of any weapons of mass extermination.  We  reject
        also  the  arguments  of  "deterrence" or of "balance" which
        justify these weapons and which delay disarmament.
        
             We have lost count of  the  weapons  poised  above  our
        heads and we have lost interest in counting. We refuse them.
        We  call  upon  our friends throughout the world, in East or
        West, to refuse them  also.  We  call  upon  governments  to
        refuse them by actions. Let any nation initiate this action,
        by  a full or partial refusal of any nuclear weapons system,
        or by  refusing  the  deployment  of  any  system  upon  its
        territory,  and  then  let us muster world-wide support: let
        refusals proliferate!
        
             We refuse also every measure  which  seeks  to  marshal
        humankind into two opposed blocs. We refuse the Cold War and
        we  disown  allegiance  to its ideologies and to its opposed
        security systems. We affirm our  citizenships  of  a  healed
        human world.
        
             Let us place loyalty to each other above loyalty to the
        armourers! Do not allow anyone to divide us! We are already,
        in  our  movements,  creating  a  new  kind  of politics, an
        international fellowship of resistance  and  of  friendship,
        which  refuses  to acknowledge any "side" except that of our
        common future: a future which will never come unless  we  in
        this living generation honour our trust.
