What the petition asks
Propose to the UN for all states:
1. Cut defence by 20% a year for five years.
2. Stop all arms production. Firms have falling subsidies while they convert.
3. Require world-wide open inspection, UN policing, punishment for infringement.
4. Exterminate terrorist weapons.
5. Move disputes to UN.

4. Competitive arming is silly in a joined up world.
5. Full world disarmament could save huge sums of money.
6. It could cut world CO2 output.
7. Disarming is far easier than arming.
8. Peace works.
