Hi there from OneWorld Online,

I have some very positive news of how the Internet community can help
the fight against nuclear weapons.  You may know that the World Court
is considering the legality of nuclear weapons, and that the World
Court Project (in the UK) is collecting 'Declarations of Conscience'
about the morality of nuclear weapons.  

Those who sign this declaration are helping to push the Court towards
concluding that nuclear weapons are immoral and illegal, as their
Declaration counts as evidence put before the Court.

The World Court Project has just joined the Internet as part of the
OneWorld Online partnership.  Here it maintains an electronic form
where anyone with access to the Web can sign this 'Declaration'.  It
will only take a matter of seconds.  But it is an action with huge
implications.

This issue is in the news again now after the lifelong anti-nuclear
campaigner Professor Joseph Rotblat received the Nobel Peace Prize for
his work with Pugwash - the umbrella group of anti-nuclear scientists.

The World Court Project's URL is
http://www.oneworld.org/world_court/world_court.html

Unlike the many previous Internet petitions protesting against nuclear
weapons, signing the Declaration of Conscience can make a real
difference - it has the force of international law behind it.

Please feel free to contact me, or the World Court Project's secretary,
George Farebrother (address and phone on the Web pages) for more
information.
Please also feel free to send or re-post this message. 

Thanks in advance,

Mark Lynas
