Nuclear arms remain as grave a threat to the world as global warming and there can be no let up in efforts to stop terrorists obtaining nuclear material, German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle told parliament in Berlin on Friday.

‘I believe that disarmament is no less important to humanity than for example acting against global warming,’ he said, demanding that the world outlaw nuclear arms. Germany has never had nuclear weapons.

‘We have to prevent access to nuclear weapons becoming easier,’ said Westerwelle. Tyrants and terrorists must be stopped from obtaining them.
He said that if world disarmanent talks in Geneva failed to make progress towards an arms ban, the issue would have to be debated in the UN Security Council. ‘We cannot tolerate any blockade in this issue of survival for humanity,’ he said.
