The Heidelberg Peace and Security Council,

Recognizing the threat the transport, storage, proliferation and possible use of weapons of mass destruction, long-range missiles and other offensive weapon systems pose to international peace and security,

Appreciating the fact that UN commissions have succeeded in extensively disarming Iraq of nonconventional weapons

Recalling the fact that Resolution 687 (1991) did not only oblige Iraq to disarm but also emphasized the necessity of establishing a zone in the Middle East that is to be free of any such weapons,

Deploring the fact that such steps towards disarmament were not equally undertaken by the other states of the region, steps that should have especially included Israeli nuclear weapons,

Noting that both the USA and other NATO states have extensive arsenals of weapons of mass destruction, also and especially including nuclear weapons, at their disposal posing a massive threat to other countries,

Concerned about the threats posed to the population by the weapons of mass destruction which are stored here,

Knowing about the expansion of the operational areas of the armies of NATO countries to include the whole world as well as about the extension of their armed forces for out-of-area interventions,

Further informed of concrete US plans to attack other countries by way of ‘preventive’ strikes, i.e. without being immediately threatened, with Iraq publicly declared to be the next target,

And knowing about US planning documents which include the deployment of nuclear weapons also against enemies that do not have such weapons at their disposal if need be just for the mere purpose of destroying targets that could otherwise not be eliminated,

Deeply concerned about the threatened population of Iraq and international peace,

Striving for measures of extensive disarmament to be undertaken by Germany, the USA and all NATO countries to render them structurally incapable of attack,

Acting within the framework of its local area of responsibility

1. Decides not to accept any weapons of mass destruction or other offensive weapons

on Heidelberg territory. Due to the dangers posed by them, these weapon systems must be removed immediately and verifiably;

?2. Forbids any planning activities, preparation, support and organisational activities of military attacks undertaken by facilities which are located on Heidelberg territory;

?5. Further demands that the members of the inspection team appointed by the Council (HDMOVIC) be given immediate, unimpeded, unconditional and unrestricted access to any and all, including underground, areas, facilities, buildings, equipment, records and means of transport they wish to inspect;

?6. Decides to press on with its demands by mobilising public opinion;

?7. Requests support from the Heidelberg City Council, the political parties, churches and other social groups and especially requests the trade unions to provide the inspectors with all and any information on transport and storage of military goods which might be available to their members;

?8. Warns the military stationed here of serious consequences as a result of violations of these obligations;

?9. Calls on all other cities, towns and communities on whose territories US, NATO or Bundeswehr facilities are located to launch similar action;

?10. Decides to remain seized of the matter.
