WASHINGTON - March 23 - Nuclear Age Peace Foundation President David Krieger has authored a substantive roadmap to nuclear disarmament for the 2010 Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference, scheduled for New York City in May.

Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Disarmament: Shifting the Mindset - A Briefing Booklet for the 2010 Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference represents the Foundation's best thinking on nuclear abolition and delivers a blueprint for a future without nuclear weapons. It is available  on-line: http://www.wagingpeace.org/goto/nptbooklet .

Printed copies can also be ordered from the Foundation.

The booklet's publication couldn't come at a more opportune time. In the area of nuclear disarmament and nonproliferation, there is perhaps no more important international gathering this year than the 2010 Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference. These Review Conferences are held every five years. Experts view the last one, held in 2005, as a major failure.

The world cannot afford another failure when the Review Conference convenes again in May. For that reason, the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation is taking a number of strategic actions to influence the outcome of the conference. The Briefing Booklet is the first. It will be distributed in advance of the NPT Review Conference to all ambassadors in New York as well as key members of the US Congress and the Obama administration.

David Krieger is a founder of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation and has served as its president since 1982. He has lectured throughout the world and written widely on issues of peace, international law and nuclear weapons abolition. Both he, and the Foundation's Director of Programs, Rick Wayman, will attend the Review Conference in New York.
