Ontario KtY 4MS The goal of such a global referendum Is to educate and mobll public opinion in as many countries as pass to the dangers in the existence of nuclear weapons and through the pressure of public opinion generate the political will to Initiate disarmament The results of the refer end urn constitute a consultative world vote It can be cogently that a strong mon date from a consultative

disarmament as a key issue the lSBOs and would hopefully cre ate an atmosphere for mutual balanced and ver lflable reductions in lear arms that the current International climate docs not seem to possess The mechanisms for the world referendum would be as follows The first step would be for one nation to propose the world vote In the United Nations General Assembly The second step Is to ballot wording agreeable to all nations based of necessity on the established long range goal of general dlsarma The third step would be for national governments to voluntarily conduct referenda one at a time usually alongside national elections to cut costs over a period of five years or more if necessary may be necessary or desirable lo monitor the efficacy of all national referenda It generally recogniz ed the primary block disarma meat Initio I Ives la the profound and inulng tack of political will The power of public opinion Is result of the small but collectively nlficant amount of politic al power held by Individ people A consul live nan binding advisory would rather than replace government to government ions put massive popular support behind these gov em ment negotiations and place pressure on the negotiating parties to make real progress towards disarmament The following are Impor tant points about this con It would paw In the N General Assembly overwhelmingly per ha pa unanimously there would be easy agreement on the wording for ballot there would be support for It from the Soviet bloc these last two points are the sine qua of the proposal It Is meaning less unless

municipalities II has been estimated that Ihe cost of holding the vote world wide would be MOO to million cents per voter This Is a small amount compared the billion spent worldwide on armaments each year It would be difficult If not impossible for national governments to oppose a worldwide United Nations sanctioned democratic approach to an agreed upon goal In his case disarmament This proposal
