The Chairman of the Middle Powers Initiative, the Hon. Douglas Roche, O.C., spoke at a conference, "Towards a World Free of Nuclear Weapons," called to mark the 20th anniversary of the Rajiv Gandhi Action Plan to eliminate nuclear weapons, presented to the United Nations in 1988 when Rajiv Gandhi was India's Prime Minister.
The conference was sponsored by two of India's most prestigious bodies, the Centre for Strategic and International Studies and the Indian Council of World Affairs.
Senator Roche told the conference: "Clearly there is renewed desire in India to once more strike a stance to rid the world of nuclear Armageddon. It is not too much to say that India today is at a crossroads and holds the global future of nuclear weapons in its hands. By a powerful outreach to other nations in every part of the world, India can be a catalyst to influence the U.S. and Russia to come down from the nuclear mountain. India must become active in new efforts for global nuclear disarmament. The world will welcome India actively working with like-minded states for the advancement of human civilization by the abolition of nuclear weapons."
