More must be done in concrete terms in order to promote the cause of disarmament.

The catastrophic humanitarian consequences of any use of nuclear weapons require that it be treated as a top priority. Disarmament will work better than any alternative in reducing the risk of use.
Obama spent the first two years of his administration practicing political unilateral disarmament.
