Report of the International Commission on
Nuclear Non-proliferation and Disarmament

The Report of the International Commission on Nuclear Non-proliferation and Disarmament, “Eliminating Nuclear Threats: A Practical Agenda for Global Policymakers”, was presented on 15 December in Tokyo to the Prime Ministers of Australia and Japan, their excellencies Kevin Rudd and Yukio Hatoyama, by the Commission Co-Chairs, former foreign ministers Gareth Evans and Yoriko Kawaguchi.

The Commission was launched as a joint initiative of the Australian and Japanese Governments in July 2008, based on the agreement of Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and then Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda.

Australia is committed to a world free of nuclear weapons, and welcomes this report, which is the work of an independent commission of global experts, and which seeks to provide a framework for practical discussions on how to advance the cause of non-proliferation disarmament.
