Friends of the Earth International (FoEI) accuses governments of wrecking the Earth Summit in Johannesburg ( 1 ). At the start of the last round of negotiations before the Summit in August, FoEI calls on governments to finally commit to a meaningful action plan. The negotiations in Bali, Indonesia are based on a new negotiation draft issued by Conference Chairman Emil Salim on May 9th . The text contains little of value. Most of the targets and timetables from earlier drafts have been removed.

US-Russia Nuclear Arms Treaty

Antinuclear groups Friends of the Earth, CICD, Australian Anti-Bases Campaign and the Australian Peace Committee today characterized the nuclear arms reduction treaty signed in Moscow yesterday as 'The arms reduction treaty you have when you're not having an arms reduction treaty'. The Bush/Putin agreement signed yesterday is far inferior to the START-II and III arms reduction agreements, which it effectively replaces, and thus a step backwards.
