The Nuclear Security Project started with the January 4, 2007 Wall Street Journal op-ed by former Secretary of State George Shultz, former Secretary of Defense Bill Perry, former Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger and former Senator Sam Nunn. All four authors are leading the Project and NTI serves as the Project Secretariat.

British Ministers Publish Article in Support of World Free of Nuclear Weapons
There is growing international momentum in support of the Shultz, Perry, Kissinger, Nunn Nuclear Security Project. Four former British Foreign and Defence Secretaries — Sir Malcolm Rifkind, Lord David Owen, Lord Douglas Hurd and Lord George Robertson — published an article titled "Start worrying and learn to ditch the bomb" in which they warn that the world is entering a dangerous new phase "that combines widespread proliferation with extremism and geopolitical tension."

They said: "Substantial progress towards a dramatic reduction in the world's nuclear weapons is possible. The ultimate aspiration should be to have a world free of nuclear weapons. It will take time, but with political will and improvements in monitoring, the goal is achievable. We must act before it is too late, and we can begin by supporting the campaign in America for a non-nuclear weapons world." Read their op-ed

NTI Co-chairman Sam Nunn recently spoke in Germany about the vision and steps toward a nuclear free world and the urgent need to address US/NATO/European and Russian security issues. Read an article and Nunn's remarks
