\u201cThe two nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were two nuclear bombings too many. 71 years on they remain a stain on history and they must never be forgotten. We must always remember the horror of nuclear warfare. <\/em><\/p>\n \u201cIn 2016 we face new and changing security threats but nuclear weapons will never be the answer to any conflict. It was deeply alarming to hear the new Prime Minister Theresa May say \u2018yes\u2019 when asked recently if she would be prepared to use nuclear weapons. Nuclear so-called \u2018deterrents\u2019 do not make us more secure in the modern world – on the contrary, they provide a perverse incentive for other countries to procure such weapons. Instead of renewing Trident the UK should be disarming and pushing for a global ban on nuclear weapons which are now the only weapon of mass destruction not explicitly prohibited by international law. <\/em><\/p>\n \u201cOn this important anniversary Greens remain committed to continue to work for a nuclear-free world.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
