To develop security alternatives to nuclear weapons is one of mankind's most urgent needs. Very few countries in the world rely on nuclear weapons for their security. The nuclear weapons states must try harder! In 2001, SLMK initiated the project "Instead of Nuclear Weapons", inviting papers from a number of peace research institutions. The submitted papers, presented at a symposium in Moscow on March 25, 2002, are available in print from the SLMK office or as a downloadable .pdf file.
